I get the overall sentiment but half of the points are misleading.
Sitting out for a year is a contributing cause of the other points, not sure why it's listed as an argument.
They only very recently passed the most bled loot point in recent wars, it's not that crazy.
Not sure what preparation you're talking about that they did not do.
This is invalid, 200b isn't referring to damage taken unlike what Kastor wrote. -> The -200b sentence is the dumbest I've ever heard. Net could be better but for the damages part they had infra, like did everyone else. There was a global NAP with guaranteed ROI. I know you guys don't care about NAPs but this is very easy to see. Maybe if someone bought mercs on them they wouldn't have had so much infra to lose. Give them a go next time.
