Both have the same ultimate cause, as well: politicians safe at home demanding immediate results no matter what it costs.
I wonder what the actual condition of the Russian navy is at this point. I heard their ships were generally in poor condition even before the war (those reports of the Moskva’s air defense being crippled before it left port, for example), and now they’re losing so many trained crew. Last I heard their shipyards were roughly keeping pace with losses in terms of tonnage but you can’t just herd conscripts on a ship and expect it to function at all.
Except Trump has been a disaster for the GOP. They have consistently underperformed compared to expectations since he was elected.
No it isn’t. The Democrats haven’t had their convention yet.
