Just every last lib in the thread who kept insisting that the American Revolution was a tale of the plucky little guy outlasting the Big Bad Dudes. It was far more nuanced than that,

I broke down the composition of Washington’s army at Yorktown- pointing out that the French component outnumbered the colonial component, and that it was the French fleet that blockaded the coast, preventing English re-supply.

One can say all that, and still say that the plucky little guys outlasted the Big Bad Dudes.

The early victories of the plucky little guys at Lexington/Concord, Saratoga and Trenton proved to be the precondition for the Big Good Guys to consider the American Revolution as a viable part of their own Continental war with the Big Bad guys.

So will today’s Big Good guys (US) come to realize that the plucky little guys (Ukraine) are putting up a valiant fight against the Big Bad Guys (Russia) in the struggle between democracy and land grabbing authoritarianism?

I know where I and most Americans stand on the issue- and it’s not with a president who has to break off conversations with Ukrainian and NATO leaders for 45 minutes in order to get his talking points straight from Putin.
