"We've used 5% of our defense budget to arm Ukraine. And with it, they've destroyed 50% of Putin's army." - Ad targeted to Republicans to support Ukraine

When it comes down to it, this is a hell of a deal for the US. We spend a tiny fraction of our military budget to de-fang Putin and don't have to fire a single shot ourselves.

Unfortunately, the target audience also wear shirts which say "I'd rather be Russian than democrat"

They may take it as an attack against themselves.

We need an attack ad: "Why are some republicans afraid of russia?"

@Wilshire I cannot think of a time in recent history when we have gotten more bang for our military buck than supporting #Ukraine against #Russia .

Not only are we doing the right thing by helping a democratic nation fight an invasion by an expansionist regime, but this aid has helped weaken one of our two main adversaries, and serves as a warning to China.

This is truly one of those win/win situations where the only debate should be the degree of military aid, not whether we support Ukraine.

Does this include giving them old equipment which they'd have to dispose of anyway? Because that's not exactly "spending". Some even say that it saves money because they have no disposal cost.

Thats assuming the republicans and tankies WANT Putin's army destroyed. To them, this sounds like what a normal person would hear if we said: "We've used 5% of our defense budget to arm the IRA and 50% of Britain's army has been destroyed."

I fucking hate computer generated voices, the cadence is always fucking weird. This one is far too fast, and the pause between words is too short.

It's just weird.

Nobody answered me. Is there PROOF of the 50% claim here?

How can I view non-biased information about the war?

Give em 20%

I doubt it will get their support seeing as they’re in bed together.

Does anyone have a source about the Russian attrition rate? I can’t find one

Is there hard evidence on the 50% destroyed claim?

Is this an AI generated ad? It seems like they tried to fit as many talking points as possible.

Not only that, but it will take decades and a lot of money to get back to their original military strength.
