That is probably what the Ukrainian AF will say when they take their new pre-owned planes and shoot up the 3 mile long supply column that is currently moving at a snails pace on the highways to Kyiv because the Russians did not think to have replacement bridges ready to go in case the Ukrainians blew existing bridges up.

For example, the U.S. Air Force has roughly twice as many pilots as they do planes, in varying stages of training and readiness.


You do know you just compared the Ukrainian AF's readiness to the USAF's, right?

Coincide this with Chinese threats to take over Taiwan where 63% of all Semi-conductors are manufactured and you will quickly see that this isn't about oil its all about control over the global technology industry.


Well if it helps you feel better, I am pretty sure the best silica for producing silicon comes from Appalachia.

So Russia was concerned with enough time a pro-western Ukraine would move away from purifying Russian neon? Agree with your point about it not simply being about oil, just trying to fully wrap my mind around it.

I do think the best thing to potentially come of this is China pauses action on Taiwan. If the world levied this degree of sanctions on China it would be catastrophic for China, and by extension the world as well too.

If we don’t come on the other side of this going all out of energy independence and production & refining of key natural resources were going down fast at some point not to far off. But we undoubtedly won’t.

They probably have plenty of pilots honestly. Hell, there’s probably some old UKR Air Force dudes that are airline pilots now that hop back in the seat. Or hundreds of their Eastern European fighter pilots who would be more than happy to go fight the Russians if the price is right.

You think Ukraine who have been in constant action since 2013 don’t have more pilots trained than planes not even considering that some planes were probably destroyed on the ground? These “who is gonna fly them” comments are complete idiocy lol

I think they're confusing Ukranians with the Taliban.

I just watched the video and that takes talent. It also takes a lot of poise to now laugh while doing it.

Honestly, “Let It Go” kind of works with Molotov Cocktails.

How does Putin actually think he is going to hold and govern the citizens of the Ukraine. If the reaction in Berdyansk is any indication there is no way the Russians will.

Evan Hill Reporter

This is my land, I will tear you apart with my teeth.” Videos from Monday, verified by the Times, show Ukrainians in Berdyansk protesting Russian troops who occupied their city hall overnight."

I don’t understand how the convoy isn’t being targeted unless the Russians are doing a better job of defending it through the air than they seem to be able to establish air superiority in Kyiv.

The Ghost of Kyiv had to take the day off because he has the squirts from 5 straight days of eating MREs.
