Focus Rage On Facts

Kasparov is most correct arguing the longer we waited the harder it got. There might have been a lot of resistance in this country to earlier action.  The right president might have been able to persuade the voters.  Of course we don't know how Putin will respond now.

I could only suggest there might be presidents that could have persuaded the nation to help sooner.

JFK did have a lot of staying power. Even after the Bay of Pigs his popularity remained high.

Kevin McCarthy is  claiming he wanted to get weapons to Ukraine earlier but Biden said wait until they invade.

Are you thinking Putin will respond by trying to read how popular our president is in our country?
I was thinking he would try to determine how likely it is that different presidents would respond to him with power.

Gas Will Be Very Expensive

This doesn't have anything to do with your cars I think but a friend that sold them for years has a 25 year love affair with them. Today he said him and others are fighting with the company over excessive oil consumption. He has a larger one with the 3.6, I think.

At first glance it looks like he is arguing they were not delivered as early as they could have been delivered. 
Are you arguing there would be no benefit to them being delivered any earlier?

More weapons earlier would have made it more difficult for Putin. People were hoping some weapons and sanctions were enough. They were not. Helping Putin with the pipeline did not help.
Everybody agree Taiwan should get more weapons?

Because it is damn obvious more weapons earlier would have made it more dificult for Putin.
