....perhaps ought to be a foot stepping in a noxious pile of manure, as Elon Musk has apparently enraged many Ukrainians by suggesting that a good "peace plan" ought to include ceding territory to Russia because it's unlikely that Ukraine could defeat Russia in total war.
Well, yes, but as those who study history have noted, the smaller nation of "Germany" decidedly defeated Russia in WW1, the smaller nation of the "United States" defeated Great Britain in her war of independence, Scotland at times took it to England, Russia defeated a monstrously more powerful French army in the time of Napoleon, Israel defeated the Greeks in the Maccabean Wars, Ethiopia defeated Mussolini's Italy, Albania defeated Mussolini's Italy.....
I don't guess that he's reading this, but in case he is: Elon, you're a great miner of government subsidies to make yourself one of the richest men on earth, and you've done well at providing Starlink to help the Ukrainian resistance to the Nazi-esque Putin regime, but maybe bone up on some history before you tweet on it?
