    Weapons don’t win wars, people do, and Ukraine has a severe troops shortage right now that will only get worse as the war goes on. You can give them all the weapons in the world, if there’s no one there to fire them, they’ll still lose

      Guess India just lacked the manpower to kick out the Brits. Same with the Japanese and *checks notes, 4 American ships.

      Weapons absolutely matter.

      That is fundementally wrong. Firepower absolutely makes up for numbers disadvantage.

      if a hundred Russians, Norks and other Mercenaries and their vehicles get smoked in a battle by a single cluster bomb. Rinse and repeat

      These people are delusional, the liberation of Ukraine can only happen if NATO troops land on the battlefield. And we all know that means nuclear war.

        It only means Nuclear War if Putin decides he’s ready to die.

        its not a gaurantee he flips a switch and decides to unleash fire the second NATO starts shooting at him, good chance he scuffles off and cuts his losses, if the fighting is contained to Ukraine and the border, its not a given that he’d condemn himself and his empire to death over the wasteland that is the Donbas
