Ukraine ping

mmm: [How do you pro-Zelenskyy supporters feel about this?]

Your Jew-hating is tedious in the extreme, but I’ll bite. In WW2, the US funded a Russia committed to the overthrow of all governments not already subservient to Russia, through the auspices of Comintern. This Russia colluded with Germany to start WW2. It fought Germany only after German armies invaded Russia.

Note that Russia was fighting on its own soil for 3 out of the war’s 4 years despite annual US aid to Russia amounting to ~6% of the US’s 1941 GDP. At the beginning of the war, Russia lost to the Germans territory amounting to ~2x the area of all of Ukraine. If Ukraine had lost to Russia what Russia lost to the Germans, it would already have been overrun. What’s impressive is how little US aid was required for Ukraine to hold the Russians back - 0.2% of US GDP, or 1/30 of WW2 American aid to Russia.

While the claim is dubious, if Zelensky is in fact getting a Bugatti, we should buy him a new model every year. He’s been working wonders on a shoestring budget. That Ukraine is warding off Russia with the same annual budget used to fight a bunch of part-time guerrillas in Afghanistan is near miraculous.

A world that expected a Russian victory in 3 days has instead been given yet another demonstration of Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness. These characteristics were always latent, but this is the first time disinterested foreign assistance has been made available in more than nominal quantities. While 1/30 WW2 US aid to Russia, Ukrainians are certainly doing much better with the limited help provided than anyone thought possible.

How so?

This is a wonderful narrative.

It would take a book to refute it—but it is very misleading at a minimum.

The best example of “the left can’t meme” right here...

Excellent reply.
