“For less than 3 percent of our nation’s military budget, we’ve enabled Ukraine to degrade Russia’s military strength by half… All without a single American service woman or man injured or lost,”

Of course, this is the very definition of a proxy war on display, despite the reluctance of hawks like Blumenthal to actually call it that. In fact, they reject the term, ironically enough.

But to get the public behind them, these Congressional hawks are forced to paint an overly optimistic (and false) picture of how the counteroffensive is actually going.
