Subject: Re: Let’s See If This Pans Out for Putin
This is you misunderstanding the reason that the American Revolution was a comparable situation.

Yeah, not so much.

But that's not relevant.
Yes, it is. The entire premise of the liberal argument is that all the Ukrainians need to do is outlast the Russkies! Just like we outlasted the Limeys! Well, no, the American Revolution was a lot more complicated than that as it involved not only other nations giving us guns and money but also dudes of their own to fight along side us.

I asked you repeatedly if you wanted Americans and/or NATO forces on the ground, in the fight, in the Ukraine. This board says no. And with that, the comparisons to the American Revolution end.

You can't have it both ways.

It's an example of "small army induced much larger army to leave even though it could never have forced them out of the country if they wanted to stay.


Wrong. It's far more nuanced that that. There was effectively a global war going on. After Washington kicked Cornwallis' arse and removed the Brits' main army from the field, they could only hold 3 cities in the entire colonies. They had no choice but to leave because they lost on the battlefield.

Instead, the scenario unfolded exactly the way the Ukrainians are trying to do.

Sigh. No.
Who are the 18th-century French in the Ukraine scenario?
