it’s surprising the entire west can’t get more pilots trained. “More” as in a total of 40 for a full squadron of 20 f16s per article. We’ve been working on it for 10+ months and it’s mentioned it will take to the end of 2025 to reach 40.
Yes Sierra, Putin did put one up, but the gentelman in charge of that, unfortunately, fell from a 20 story balcony in Moscow. Accidentally of course. He did not survive so that data is no longer available.
As I read around. it’s really interesting to see how Russia apparently views the current state. They are actually quite content supposedly, they are willing to go years if needed and just grind down Ukraine and the west’s support, they feel like they can sustain indefinitely. They don’t really see a scenario where they don’t gain in the end. It will take a large escalation from the west, one that changes Russia’s pain threshold to truly change the trajectory.
Amidst this flurry of activity, no one, from Sullivan to Stoltenberg on down to their stenographers at the Washington Post and Foreign Affairs can explain in clear, unambiguous language why the matter of who governs Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk (or even Odessa and Kharkiv) is worth a direct, possibly even catastrophic confrontation with Russia. How and when did it become a paramount national security objective of the United States and NATO to help Galician ethno-nationalists regain control over a people they neither desired nor valued? https://www.theamericanconservative.com/why-does-american-folly-march-on-in-ukraine/
It was shaping up to be a quick offensive … until Boris Johnson, likely with US endorsement, persuaded Zelensky to scuttle the Istanbul Accords.
Yeah, the enemy decided to fight back, the international community objected to the Russians trying to take land by armed conquest, and the Russians proved to not be as good at this war thing as they wanted us all to believe. It’s been very inconvenient all around.
The irony of you posting that twice on the same page as a complaint about someone posting repeatedly is just rich. Maybe you can make a ghost of Kyiv post for the 100th time
Pravda crowd gets testy when they are ignored. Post after post after post and no reaction is rough when you are a troll.
I have serious doubts he understands there is a vibrant Ukrainian Pravda today. I think it's more likely he is spitting Soviet era flash words, hoping to pass himself off as someone with some knowledge about how things run in that part of the world.
