Popular Post impulse Posted June 9, 2024 Popular Post Posted June 9, 2024 So, Ukrainian pilots just out of a few weeks of training, going up against Russkie pilots with thousands of flight hours and years of experience, along with Russkie air defenses developed over decades, optimized specifically for F-16's. That's just cruel. 2 1 2

You might not be impressed, but apparently the Russian military is. 1 1 1 1 1

There are more in the pipeline being trained. It is not that easy to be cross trained and it takes a little longer that a couple of weekends to do. After that, more experience is gained on a daily and weekly basis. 1 1 1

There is no evidence that Azov is a Nazi battalion, although some nutter members may have been Nazi. Conversely, Wagner leadership had some Nazis. 2

I don't think that F-16s will augment the Ukrainian offensive capability much, but will be useful defensively.

Ukraine abandons elections, reduces the age of conscription and BEGS daily the West for weapons in the proxy war. The bigger issue is escalation, as Biden is now doing - remember "no F16s" and "no long-range firing of missiles." all signs of panic. 1 1 1 1 2

Russians and Ukrainians are almost the same—it is very difficult to tell the difference if you have ever been there (yes, I have). Ukrainians want peace and elected Zelensky on his promise of peace in Donbas - USA wants this war for the "trillions" of minerals Lindsay has spoken about this week. 100,000s saved if Ukraine had remained neutral - you think Russia will give up? impossible! The Nazis tried it, the French tried it - they will never give up only a compromise can stop this. 1 1 1 2

They don't get to tell the government what they want though, and Zelensky apparently wants to fight on to the last man. I wonder which country he'll go hide in when it's all over? I don't know any Russians so stop lying. 1 2
