That’s the excuse for Putin to start shooting at Poles.

Maybe that's the goal.

Are reincarnating the AVG ? Takes a bit more to keep planes in the air today than 100 oct gas and a mechanic who knows how to change plugs and repair a carburetor. MIGs and SUs require a tad more maintenance than a P40.
However the Russian Air Force has not been a stellar performer so far. It seems yesterday especially was a bad day.

[Russia us going to cut off the south with occupation of Odessa, advance to Moldova and cut off supplies from the west with the help of Belarus.

That’s about ... 2-3 million people in Kyiv with no food, water, electricity, sewage, medicine or fuel.... think of whatever city you live near or in... and think of how long they would last with no food, fuel, water, or medicine delivery...

You can have jets, missiles, guns etc.... but without food and water... they don’t work very well.

They are screwed. Brave but ...screwed. ]


You are counting the Russians’ chickens before they hatch. I think the scenario you outlined is the most likely one. But Milley suggested Kiev would fall in 3 days. Kiev’s still standing. Heck - the Russians thought it would fall in 2.

Note that Finland and Poland held the Russians off and got their independence, despite having been under the Russian boot for hundreds of years. And the Russians of today aren’t, unlike those of WWII fighting an invader bent on killing them to the last man, woman and child, and had killed millions of civilians and POW’s a downpayment on that objective:

Fight to save your family from being exterminated, and fight to make Putin Vladimir the Greater are very different types of objectives. If you surrender to the WWII Germans, they starve you to death. If you surrender to today’s Ukies, they hand you over to the EU where you get generous welfare bennies while you find work and figure out how to bring the rest of your family over.

If you were really going to do it, why would you announce it?

Where are they going to land? Where are they going to get fuel and maintenance? That’s the excuse for Putin to start shooting at Poles.

Most of the Ukrainian Air Force is intact, we are told.

So they land at Ukrainian air bases protected by Ukrainian anti-aircraft and the Ukrainian Air Force.

They are trying to stop it, they should just get out of the way....Poland should sell them for 1 dollar so they can call it a arms sale not aid....take that Putin

By the way, why isn’t the UN, World Leaders, Actors, etc...calling for Russians to sabotage the Russian War Effort?

There are enough soy drinking Russians that should be down for subversion if they aren’t too scared.

I would bet Ukrainian pilots are making their way to Poland to man those Migs

The United States has never allowed any foreign government to but F-22s. Technology is too advanced to trust any nation.

Supplying weapons is the same thing as using them. That would make this an act of war.

It’s sickening how the media and politicians are pushing us into WW3 with a nuclear power.

It’s the same media gestapo tactics they used with covid and trump. The media tells us what we’re “allowed” to think and no dissent is tolerated. Sickening.

Very profitable for the merchants of death (”defense” industry).

Exactly what I had in mind.

Does the Taiwan Air Force have qualified A-10 pilots to loan this mission?
