EU just leap frogged Orban and Biden dipped the Republicans so sounds like a loss for Russia imo

You are like 3 months late with this information.

That is why they have been targeting electronic warfare so much.

Apparently it pays out :-)

On a side note, the himars have their ways and get through the russian ev anyways it seems.

No, they're not literally killing anyone.

You stopped your quotation before the interesting bit:

Should literally be used for emphasis?: Usage Guide

Words mean what people decide they mean. There are no objective definitions, only consensus. Where do you think words come from in the first place?
