Did the numerically stronger side win the Revolutionary War? Since 1945, more often than not the smaller, colonized country has defeated the larger, colonizing power.</iL

I posted this. The French provided 12,000 troops and 32,000 sailors. That analogy doesn’t quite match the current situation.

One more time:
-Zelensky doesn't the dudes, the guns or the money. Secretary Rubio put it best yesterday when he said

The Ukraine is a meat grinder, amd the Russians have more meat.

Very accurate.

At the same time, Ukrainian resistance has deterred Chinese aggression over Taiwan, by showing how difficult offensive operations can be

They have done no such thing. An assault on Taiwan will look very different from what Outin did.

It has slowed the spread of nuclear weapons, by proving that a conventional power can resist a nuclear power in a conventional war... despite Russia's repeated threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

It has done no such thing. Putin was never going to use nuclear weapons right next to his own country, where the prevailing winds would blow the fallout and radiation right into Russia.

Yet despite all that Ukraine has done to defend itself from Russian aggression, Trump has never once berated Putin the way he berated Zelensky yesterday.

Because Trump wants Putin to come to the bargaining table. How does calling him names accomplish that?
