    I appreciate that perspective, but the alternative perspective is they lost 10% of all their Abrams. It’s not great news.

      What proportions of its planes did Russia lost? Of its warships? Of its tanks? :-)

      It’s not great, no, and Ukraine is really going to struggle without continued support, but it’s still really telling that Russia considers it such an accomplishment.

        Absolutely, the real problem is the west is failing to live up to its promises. I hope republicans either develop a conscience or can have their arms twisted into doing the right thing.
