It does matter. War is a numbers game.
Tech is tech. “Neocons” and etc. are a propaganda narrative, not reality.
What this sort of rhetoric reminds me of is how the left gutted US power generation by creating emotional narratives against, say, nuclear or gas power plants.
Do not be like those evil people.
Yep, it is a numbers game. The Neocons gave the ukes a bunch of their ‘Wonder Weapons’ and the ukes (or whoever was driving them) got destroyed, and so no more ‘Wonder Weapons’ for the ukes.
As far as Russia goes, just like WW2, they steel keeps coming in, even if they lose some tanks along the way.
