Maybe you could understand that if you use hyperbole to make a point, even in informal conversation, it is a straw man argument.
Sooooooooo close…


No, “genius”, you’re building straw man’s.
It’s almost like you’re about to understand hyperbole used in informal conversation.


I’m not saying you disagree that their strategy is successful, but your attempt at “putting things into perspective” are over exaggerated and diminishes the actual successes.
Of course it’s an exaggerated statement genius - a gazillion is a a pretty dead fucking giveaway n’est pas? But the constant cheer online of destroying “expensive” equipment with “cheap weapons” is not as clear as some people are making it out to be. “A lot” of drones are just destroyed.
I’m not diminishing shit. I’m pointing out reality.


Yeah - I’m absolutely sure it’s still lower-cost in the long run. Also easier to produce “at scale” so the math works in the end.


Your statements diminish the efforts and successes of the Ukrainian military,
I mean - they don’t. They’re clearly having great success. I said that they have a strategy that works. You just want somebody to argue against. Argue against somebody who disagrees.


OMG the internet… I’m clearly speaking informally. Or do you think a “bazillion” is a real number?


A lot gets said about “destroying expensive equipment with cheap equipment” but Ukraine has deployed the “cheap drones” by the thousands just for a handful to get through. It does seem to be a strategy that works but it’s not exactly “we only spent $500 to kill a bazillion-dollar heli”.


A story about a DIY fanatic who builds their own furniture?


You wanna guess how much electricity is produced from natural gas in the US?


He doesn’t “like to make deals”. He likes to bully others into giving him what he wants for nothing in return.


Two countries can be violating international law.


Because one death is a tragedy. Many is a statistic.


This guy just doesn’t want to be tossed under the bus. So whatever you do don’t show him any praise.
I love how your instinct is to attack him “because he’s a Republican” rather than “because of what he’s said”. This is the worst of political discussion these days. “Oh - he’s a Democrat” and “He’s a Republican” are used as arguments to dismiss rather than discussing the merits (or lack of) an argument.
I’m not defending this guy. He may be a piece of shit (I don’t know). But your instinct is toxic.


As the conflict with Iran expands and intensifies, President Trump’s options — to fight on, or to move toward declaring victory and pulling back — both carry deeply problematic consequences.
He could also kill himself. Just saying.


It’ll be the only multiple choice test where all of the right answers are the stupid options.


Well, it’s definitely not typical I will say that.


The backup plan is clear. Find a way to get aboard an oil tanker. He’ll find a way to get those out…


To win the war he already won. How is that confusing?


“It’s both”
Yeah, you wake up feeling nauseous, dehydrated and with a massive headache.
