whose AF could end this in 48 hours? Certainly not ours without losses we can’t afford. Remember it’s not the airplanes it’s the weapons. The Russians have watched for 20 years and have developed counter measures.

The amount of time to get in place with what would be deemed a suitable force would be 6 weeks min. Not going to send in a rogue squadron and expect it to sweep up Russia.

Gentlemen (and tgsio if she is present), how significant is the capture of Chernobyl by the Russian forces? Since I've seen the mini-series and played Call of Duty (tongue in cheek, but true), I understand a little about this but are they trying to use it as a source for dirty bombs? That shit is scary to think about.
There is a lot at stake. When God wins is when we win. Glory is coming to the Lord
Historically America and Russia have been friends. The Eagle and Bear will come together again imo

Maybe when the conversion to Marxism is complete, we’ll be aligned with Putin and can come together

As we rotate in and escalate instead of deescalate whatever is happening. We missed the window to do it. Now riding to the rescue will guarantee it goes Europe wide. Russian soldiers will be the ones to say screw this.

Russian Afghan war history. Russian soldiers would go to afghanistan, their families wouldn’t know where they were and they would never come home. Russian citizens won’t let that happen again. The text thread read by the Ukrainian ambassador to the UN today will Change opinion in Russia, whether propaganda or not. Russian and Eastern Ukrain share bloodlines and I don’t think this goes another week.

no way putin takes the humiliation of leaving without removing the current Gov. He is in for a penny in for a pound at this point.

He is cornered which is scary. Losing is not an option for him at this point. He burned the boats. It is high ground or.....
Classic case of over playing, if he would have just stopped with the two regions he declared independent he would have had very little blow back and he comes out in full control of the Sea of Azol and smelling like roses.

Now every day he is not in full control of Ukraine he looks weak.

If you worked with someone in Russia would you address the current geopolitical situation with them?

I work with a lady "Alena" in St Petersburg Russia and email her quite often, sometimes 10 times a day, plus an occasional zoom call to boot. We have never discussed the situation but its kind of like the elephant in the room right now. Any one have any thoughts?

I only know one Russian immigrant. Frac'ed with him for a bit. If I knew how to get ahold of him, I would sure ask. He was a boxer that won a fight in the Olympic Trials. I did ask him about his government & the KGB. His response, "You think USA has no KGB? They just aren't open about it. Russia just give no fuck." Ha!

I had a Ukranian buddy that I went through engineering school with. Asked him about the Ukraine Civil War of 2014. He said that the Ukrainian people are lazy as fuck and thought electing corrupt government officials would get them free shit. Blew up in their faces. He might have been wrong, but at least he has lived in Ukraine. He has dropped off the map and can't ask him about anything now.

LOL, yea that is not an argument to win many Americans over with.

I am not for world government.

There will probably be a very popular leader of their NWO one day that will come from Europe.

Probably be a very charismatic guy who is a little heavy handed with the military.

Will probably have his hands all in the world economy.

We have received some extremely shocking and sad news from Ukraine this morning.

Colonel Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko who was the Ukrainian Air Force Flanker display pilot between 2013-2018 has lost his life on Friday night when his jet was shot down over Kyiv by Russian S-400 Triumph Air Defence Missile System.

Col. Oksanchenko was not only a very experienced pilot who won a number of awards for the best flying display at many events across Europe, but he was also a true fan of airshows. Despite leaving the active service and joining the reserves in late 2018 he volunteered to remain in the Ukrainian Flanker Solo Display Team as a coach/advisor and travelled with the team during the 2019 display season which was also the last airshow season for the team.

He came out of retirement to defend his country from the Russian invasion and paid the highest price. Col. Oksanchenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine by the president of the Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Blue skies sir and thank you for all your amazing displays!
