This is not a "border skirmish" with some AKs being fired.
The amount of equipment and manpower Russia has directed to Ukraine is larger than most of the world's militaries, except US and China.
Their losses of main battle tanks as of today correspond to 1/3 of the total number of US tanks, and more than the total number of tanks in western Europe.
Russia's casualties are now larger than the total US casualties during the Vietnam war.
The 800000 artillery shells in aid, correspond to 5000-10000 truckloads being delivered from neighbouring Nato countries.
Civilian Ukrainian casualties are in the tens of thousands, and counting.
- mikem170 4y agoI think that we agree. The US is not helping Ukraine because they are weak, they are helping Ukraine because Russia is a large threat to our allies, trade partners, energy markets, etc. I brought up the other conflict as a way of showing that we don't prioritize helping the weak. Other factors are more important.
