The most potent (in their opinion) argument that Putinoids advance to convince Ukrainians to stop resisting the Russian invasion is, “You think you’ll get handouts from Europe? No, you won’t! They won’t give you any money!”
The sheer desperation with which the Russians advance this argument shows that they really believe that handouts are the only thing worth fighting for.

Is there anybody they have defeated in a war recently? Because that’s the only thing that would make their training helpful. 🙂
But I’m glad there is discussion of providing weaponry.

Does defeating oneself count? But I’m glad that the situation has at least been noticed for what it is by the government here.
