Game changer is a word for word quote. Whose exaggeration would that be, then.

They were not described as game changers, but as something that could be.

“”F-16s Are No Magic Bullet for Ukraine, but They Are a Game Changer with the Right Munitions””

Besides, I asked you several times to define game changer as you so sweepingly used it in post 9.

“If your definition of “game changer” is like that title and article then fine, it doesn’t mean ‘the Magic Bullet’ or ‘the end of the war’ or ‘victory for Ukraine’”

dood there are zillions of articles declaring them game changers. They obviously were not. Here are some more:

I have no obligation to define game changer. The originators of the term have that obligation. I just quoted them, word for word, which precludes exaggeration.

I think you’re aware of all of this and are dodging.

Well, I guess you now want to pretend you didn’t mean much by calling everything game changer, tomahawks are on your list along with the completely normal fact that nations would supply peacekeepers if a ceasefire is signed.
