I think we're all still reeling a little at how relatively calm World War 3 has been. It's like watching Hitler slamming into Stalingrad 1/4 of the way into Poland, and his only allies *are fucking North Korea*

Hitler doesn't even have a Mussolini! He's just got a really predatory lender that thinks he has a purty mouth and will get completely mauled if he gets involved in Taiwan.

If we resumed manufacturing and shipping at scale--not even physically fighting, just arming Ukraine--Putin might as well save himself the time and pick out his favorite windowless Fuhrerbunker.
