If you repeat the same lie enough times people will start to believe it is the truth.
“The incompetence of the “military experts” is astonishing”.
I think it more that they’ve all been compromised, and they spout what they’re told to say. General Jack Keane is a good example.
If so, his body double is doing a heck of a job.
“... one force would achieve air superiority ...”
Well, kinda, they both have air superiority — neither can fly.
They want their ‘consulting & expert talking head’ checks!
Why should you expect anything less?
LOL!
UK blabber mocks the very tactical “slow grind” that is defeating them. No one is advancing anything or anywhere in UKR, but Russia.
The corrupt UKR government, the UKR ARMY and the Azov Nazi Battalion are on their knees.
When Kisenger says it, ya’ know it’s over.
Western Media suppresses all reports but for their own. No wonder we observers have lingered in the dark.
Biden runs a bad game by way of Victoria Nuland, at State.
War always enriches the powerful. Not us.
“If you repeat the same lie enough times people will start to believe it is the truth.”
Case in point: “If you repeat the same lie enough times people will start to believe it is the truth.”
Pedo Putin got himself a nice post-surgery infection. LOL! MIA for a week and counting…
It’s a sharp contrast to mighty US forces that spent a month overcoming the fierce defenses of the tiny island of Grenada in operation “Urgent Fury”.
That was the last victory, over thirty years ago.
It's almost as if the news is trying to convince us all of something.
So this really is not a surprise .
I know someone over there... they say the Russians are methodical in moving forward and in their destruction...
They are also saying that they are merciless on civilians who don’t evacuate as they approach...
They are saying the Ukrainian army fights valiantly... but are just overmatched...
I have no love for either side... but feel for the call civilians caught in the middle...
“neither can fly”
Well, that’s kind of the opposite of air superiority.
“Who said it is not the case?”
What, that the Russians don’t have air superiority? They say it themselves by not flying missions...
The use of civilian-type drones for artillery spotting has been a boost to both sides. A drone can stand off and help sight in artillery fire, and when you have lots to call on, it’s devastating.
We are used to air superiority ruling the day. But here, a simple eye-in-the-sky gives front line troops the ability to direct fire without exposure, and they don’t have to wait for somebody half a world away to clear it.
Both sides are shooting down the other’s drones. But the Russians don’t need a Predator or similar expensive type, just a flying camera that’s less than #1,000 on eBay.
Who said you so? You guys are confusing air superiority with air supremacy. I don’t think the latter is achievable by any air force against a semi-advanced opponent in our days.
Scenarios:
1) If you can, and it’s not easy, try to find details of the battles of the 1945-1949 Chinese civil war that erased Chiang Kai Shek and replaced him with the CCP — and btw created the entire Taiwan situation. You’ll find, if you can, descriptions of army movements, but each army (plural) numbered over 1 million men. Imagine the logistics.
2) Post Ukraine war, there is no Taiwan to flee to, but the civilian populace has a choice. Stay in poverty-stricken Ukraine (it will not be worse than the poverty of last year, which was bad enough) or accept one of the many refugee long term visa opportunities in the US, UK and EU. Note, from a US census perspective, these people are white. This is why a WW II France style Resistance is unlikely. French families had nowhere to flee.
3) All over the world there are non NATO offshore oil platforms pumping substantial oil totals. Nigeria and Angola add to 3 million bpd. Libya and Egypt add to over 1 mbpd. No reason the Russians can’t bomb those oil wells. Eliminate EU alternatives. Everything on planet Earth is about oil. Everything.

May 9, 2022 — Russian warplanes are generally flying 200 to 300 sorties each day, a senior Defense Department official told reporters during a briefing
From your own source:
“Russian planes, pilots and air-to-ground weapons have all grossly underperformed in the war against Ukraine.
The absence underscored President Vladimir V. Putin’s failure to build a capable modern air force, as Russian aircrews race in and out of Ukrainian airspace and heave unguided bombs while fleeing enemy surface-to-air missiles that Moscow has still not managed to destroy, even after 75 days of combat.”
Wow they get this from biden’s disinformation chick?-)
