While I 100% agree with you that it is good that Ukraine is getting its weapons again, I really doubt that Russia would do anything if they won.
If all support for Ukraine stopped today the Russian military would still have been absolutely devastated by this war and winning won't help them. And I highly doubt that the population would just sit back and accept the new state of affairs, the Russians would be dealing with constant resistance basically forever.
It would be like Germany trying to occupy France in the second world war except with basically no personnel, no equipment, and with people who are highly subject to corruption and a very high tendency for randomly defecting. And then with all that going on they're going to attack NATO, no chance.
I wish you were right, but unfortunately you aren't. I answered you. My phone crashed. I am not answering again. Fuck phones. Fuck this half assed world where nothing means anything, and anyone's utterly uninformed opinion takes 2 minutes to hastily put in a comment, and 2h to refute. That is, if none of your fucking 10192994848595 layers of abstracted software fucks up. I'm out.
So my opinion is uninformed but yours is informed despite the fact that military experts have given similar advice.
Interesting but I suppose it's massively helpful if you don't actually bother to refute me and just tell me I'm wrong.
I can do that to, you're wrong but I'm not going to say why or provide any evidence because I'm just going to give some flimsy excuse
What don't you understand with "I am not wasting 2h again on some fucking stupid software crashing and losing all I typed?"
I don't care what you think. Or what you believe. You have already shown enough that I know I have better things to do with my time. So follow my lead and downvote away, but you won't take my time.
Edit: that fucking app somehow prevented me from downvoting myself. I had to use another for that.
Sorry, but arguing with "My app crashed so just shut up", as much as I understand the frustration, is just stupid. Don't you think? You did not say a single word about their topic and are just getting needlessly angry and abusive.
