How many americans know the last name of the Egyptian president? How many americans know that the country's name is Colombia, not Columbia?

I am under 50 and I gotta do math to figure out what age my parents are. I gotta think for a second to remember my daughter's birth date, and I have made mistakes putting my age down or writing the current year.

I have no dementia or senescence. Biden sounds like he is doing great at his age, and probably compared to mine too.

I live in the west and am super pro-NATO rah rah all the way dude. But the last time the US and allies fought meat waves, they were pushed down to the 38th parallel.

NATO has a lot to offer Ukraine, but NATO is not prepared for the exact style of war going on. Just doing 100% NATO practices is going to be an equivalent of "fighting the previous war". Ukraine is right to take a bit from column A and a bit from column B for everything: they are the ones fighting and dying - they see what works and what doesn't.

Let's also hear opinions from others stating that the NATO concepts are not 100% aplicable here: https://youtu.be/4t84giGYMq4

They stopped making planes and started making money instead.

What about the insights of others who are in the field right now? Do they not count? Is Zaluzhnyi's input the only valuable input? Is everybody else chopped liver? Remember he is but one person, and the Ukrainian effort is a team effort.

As far as the warm beach sentiment, from your mouth to god's ears.

Because narcissists are super insecure, and dictatorships are a game of stupid musical chairs featuring the idiots at the top in power doing all sorts of shit that does not make sense to appease the big idiot at the top.

Remember how Trump had this need for people to grovel and beg before him? It's that same thing but institutionalized.

The US relieved 16 out of 155 generals while in combat during WW2. This is not the end of Ukraine, Zelensky or Zaluzhnyi. This is how things go.

The world should be forever grateful to Zaluzhnyi for progress so far, but he is also only human and needs a break. Strategy needs to change as the enemy makes changes.

Victory is a team effort, not just the work of one guy. Of course, on the internets, few understand this.

Don't ask for advice on social media

It seems like many humans would like to see solutions that work immediately (unlike what is possible in the real world). Sanctions do work, but they take time, just like everything else.
