    I think Ukraine’s 36 Million compared to Russia’s 147 Million puts things pretty well into perspective.

      Alright, so not so much small as smaller than Russia. Of course that means there are only 10 or so nations that aren’t small. How absurd it is then for NATO to be losing to tiny Russia…

        Ukraine isn’t a part of NATO, lol. If they were, the USA would be on Russia Shores from the Pacific, and Russia would be invaded by the other 5 NATO members who share a border with them at a minimum, potentially including Turkiye from across the Sea who alone have a top 10 standing for military and they have already backed Ukraine’s membership approval.

          I’m talking about the article. The United Kingdom isn’t Ukraine, and yet they’re talking about how they, the rest of NATO and Ukraine are losing to Russia at arms production.

          Though the lessons translate to a hot war too. If you don’t have bombs to lob, you have to stop lobbing bombs.
