    Have you considered “who gives a shit” as a response to that question? Each tank destroyed in Ukraine is a tank that won’t need to be destroyed in the Baltics, in Poland or Finland.

      Got another one who hasn’t considered Ukraine could lose.

      Why are you people so afraid to answer this simple yes or no question?

        You do realize that simplifying an issue to a “yes or no” is bad debating? Life isn’t black and white. Yes, Ukraine might lose in the end. They also might win. As I said - I don’t give a shit send them all that is possible so they can win.

          No actually, it’s not ‘bad debating’ when the point is that people are succumbing to propaganda.

            You try to make it about “people succumbing to propaganda” when most people don’t give a shit. They want old weapons to be sent to a country that is currently defending itself from Russia. That’s the point of this entite thread, post, whatever.

              They want those weapons to be sent because they believe(d) it would enable Ukraine to do things like take back Crimea. Which it hasn’t been able to do.

              Now we pivot to them needing more to do what? Slow their loss?

              I don’t think Ukraine can prevent a Russian victory without foreign troops. Not just volunteers; coordinated, foreign, military aid.

              Russia has too many men. Their propaganda machine is too strong. Even if Ukrainians can kill more Russians per Ukrainians lost, the numbers simply cannot be ignored unless you are succumbing to propaganda.

        You seem to thinking asking that is some gotcha but it’s not lmao. Yes, pretty much everyone has considered the possibility. What is the exact point you are trying to make here? Stop obfuscating and just say it.

          It doesn’t seem that way. Look at how mad people get at the mere suggestion of it.

            People are mad because you’re acting like a troll and not engaging just repeating a dumb question that doesn’t even make sense in context of anything anyone is talking about
