“I am writing to express the United States’ full support for both the transfer of F-16 fighter aircraft to Ukraine and for the training of Ukrainian pilots by qualified F-16 instructors […] It remains critical that Ukraine is able to defend itself against ongoing Russian aggression and violation of its sovereignty” said Blinken.
Will this solidify a Ukrainian victory?
U.S. officials have privately said that F-16 jets would have been of little help to Ukraine in its current counteroffensive and will not be a game changer when they eventually arrive given Russian air defense systems and contested skies over Ukraine
Or will Russian radar and missle systems tear them up?
Because people don’t want to be told what to think. It’s more effective if they discover it themselves.
A discussion is not about telling people what to think, but rather that you disseminate what it is you think, so that people may respond to it.
So you do want to change the way people think, ideally into the way you think… butttt you want them to find out by themselves.
If that’s your way of communicating, in my personal opinion, thats not very efficient, and a bit
dumbcounterproductive…You know what’s dumb? Calling someone dumb whose mind your trying to change. I don’t want people to think like me, but I do want them to think for themselves. Not just reapplying jingoistic talking points they pull from the ether.

I could say the same of you.

The tankies are right. Now disagree.
But then you’d not be truthful.
Oh, you want the truth. Neoliberal capitalism is the cause of climate change that is feeding the fascism that will overtake America and potentially destabilize the world. But sure, let’s talk about inane shit that means nothing in the big scheme of things.
I’m not trying to change your mind at all, nor would I see myself as capable of doing that. I was merely saying that your method of discourse might be detrimental to what you are trying to say.
I will retract my dumb statement and will reword it to say ‘counterproductive’, sorry for the insult.
