If Ukraine is winning why do they need our money?
If Russia is losing, then how are they such an existential threat?
Pick one, it can’t be both.
At any one moment either side in a war can have the initiative, winning or losing comes at the end of the war, like winning or losing a football game comes at the end of the game.
During the war, your questions are as sensible as asking if one team in a football game should not get water since they are winning at the moment, or if one team just fumbled the ball and lost possession how are they still a threat to win?
I hope you aren't really as dumb as your strawman questions suggest.
Great point. Zeeper flopsweat will pour like a raging river if and when they try squaring that circle. Well done!
