Why is he begging for help shooting down missiles? I thought they were shooting down 90% on their own?
I find it so absurd that this guy can lie like "we've only lost 31k soldiers" and then expect that people will believe him when he says "we need x." Like a "friend" who is constantly bragging that they have a corvette and a porche but they both happen to be in the shop when they are begging for a ride to the weed dealer.
I mean if he thinks he still has the support of the people why not run an election? I bet Russia would even stop doing missile attacks for a few days to prove they weren't trying to disrupt the elections.
