Two Jewish guys from Odesa meet up in the city. One asks the other: "So, what's the situation? What are people saying?"

The second guy says: "Well, they are saying that Russia is fighting NATO."

The first one asks: "Are you serious?"

"Yes, yes! Russia is fighting NATO."

"So how's it going?"

"Well, 70,000 Russian soldiers are dead. The missile stockpile has almost been depleted. A lot of equipment is damaged, blown up."

"And what about NATO?"

"What about NATO? NATO hasn't even arrived yet

Did... did you read what I replied to? It doesn't get more on topic than that. The only "shift in rhetorical focus" here is you.

Russia is barely hanging on and on the verge of collapse and NATO isn't even trying...

... but also Russia is an existential threat to all of Europe and must be stopped before they kill everyone!

You'll see both arguments wielded by the same people, continuously, and they shift back and forth as needed.
