If it’s stupid, but it works… It’s not stupid
Experience has taught me that if it’s stupid but it works then it’s brittle and won’t work for long.
Temporary solution is still a solution. Russia bad but we don’t have to degrade everything they do as if it’s pure idiocy
Yes, we do. Especially when it is.
Why would you assume that it works? They’ve tried a ton of shit in this war that was stupid and didn’t work. For now I’m going to assume they are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, as they have been the whole time. The fact that they’re doing it means missiles are expected, so I’m sure we’ll find out how stupid it is soon enough. My guess is very.
But does it work? That’s the real question.
Maybe… In 20 years we might get the raw data. :) we don’t know it doesn’t work
