Sometimes “Might Makes Right”....It has always been, and always will be...no matter what some pie in the sky pacifist may say.
I am not a pacifist at all....
I am a pragmatist.
We are not talking about the Russians invading the east coast, or Alaska.
In fact, if they want to invade somewhere, let them go back into Afghanistan.
I am pragmatic in that the Ukrainians can retreat, conserve their army intact, and fight when they can put up a good fight.
Yeah? Well what if the other guys might is bigger than yours? Then might makes dead. Pacifism has nothing to do with it. “No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won by making the other poor dumb bastard die for HIS country”. Sending tanks out with no air cover is a sure way to be the first of the poor dumb bastards.
