This is part of what has made Trump so successful:

He has convinced his base (and a lot of the media) that what he says doesnt matter - lying, outrageous claims, incendiary remarks. He is schrodingers politician and his positions generally are “Whatever person X wants him to be”. There is also massive dissonance on Trump “telling it like it is” - despite that NOBODY holds him to his word.

Sometimes self centered dipshits need to be called out. Your actions, and the actions of people reading this, matter.

This is a lot of words for “I don’t have any spine and won’t change my behavior if it is mildly inconvenient”

“similar technological and production capabilities”

Okay bud. Russia has pretty effectively burned through their best equipment and skilled fighters and is basically running on pure authoritarian insistence right now.
