- I get it’s a tightrope to walk but I feel like the West is giving just enough aid to keep Ukraine in the fight but not enough to actually win the war. -- nm - Dano Sep 16, 07:30 6
  - I'm currently thinking that the problem is the West did not take Putin seriously as a true threat for years. Now it is a proven fact - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 07:36 4
    - To be more specific, things like howitzer rounds. NATO didn't have the massive inventory because its always assumed - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 07:42 3
      - Ukraine lacks air superiority because they didn't have much of an air force. And Russia still doesn't control the skies. - TWuG Sep 16, 08:19 2
        
        Russia's air conduct reminds me of what a US Air Force general said after Desert Storm. - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 08:38 1
        
        Yeah, I suspect Russia trained their pilots to fly and pull triggers, but they had little to no leadership as to how to use an air force. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 16, 09:32

Drew's non-apology apology video bombed so bad she deleted it less than a few hours after posting. nobody gives a fuck if Bill Maher scabs but she's - hollywood big shot Sep 15, 21:31 10

      - Drew’s net worth is $125m - hollywood big shot Sep 15, 22:46
    - I think it strongly depends on studio level agreements. And either she's not a studio, or, there are too many other studios involved in the production -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 22:26 2
      - also this. the studio that’s paying her to cross a picket line is every bit to blame as Drew for crossing it -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 15, 22:47
