I was thinking of a rogue MiG flight to bomb Moscow, kind of like Doolittle. It’s about 500 miles.

A decapitation strike on Putin and his staff would be good (though I read earlier that they have dispersed their top people throughout the country).

Agree. Though the risk of civilian casualties could turn the tide of world opinion just as quick. Tough spot they’re in

Hey from the propaganda I figured Zelensky was going to ride a tank into Red Square any minute.

That's a cowardly way of saying "I don't really have anything.".

The Russian military is only using about 15-30% of troops. If Ukraine wanted an all-out war, there would be nothing left of the country.

The Russian strategy has been to force a negotiated deal. Thus, the reason, the Russians haven't made a move into Kiev.

But they can easily take out Russian armor and aircraft as a matter of routine?

In a series of tactical defeats. Poles were able to take out German Armor and aircraft. The Germans lost 50 tanks and 100 vehicles in the relatively minor battle of Mokra, for example. (Although the Poles won that one).

And it took almost a week for the Germans to establish control of the air over Poland and the Polish air force put up a credible defense before running out of resources. (sound familiar yet)

I think a more pertinent obvious question would be why did they not stop the Russians upon entry into Ukraine.

And they had months notice the Russians were coming!

But were told by the media they can easily take out Russian armor and aircraft as a matter of routine? Not buying that, no sale.

In a series of tactical defeats. Poles were able to take out German Armor and aircraft. The Germans lost 50 tanks and 100 vehicles

Thanks for the history lesson, but I'm not talking about WWII. I am talking about this so called war, right here right now. Btw, this is NOTHING like WWII. Not even close.

Very similar to the Polish campagin in World War II - including the timeline. Including the twin axis of attack. Only thing missing is a surprise attack from a supposed ally from the other side.

And here I was, hoping that you would enlighten me with all of your information and knowledge, and you wimped out. You're still very cowardly and you pretended to be something that you're not. I'm pretty sure that I'm better informed than you, and don't need your 'enlightenment'.

Speaking of TV, I watched the TV for about 15 minutes the other day, for the first time in years. OMG!!!! I thought I was being punked. Even the news was totally staged, rehursed and choreographed. I found my jaw sitting on my lap.
I’m convinced TV is a big factor in many folks contracting Alzheimer’s.

Blather on about the strawman arguments running thru your mind but it is becoming more and more clear that you have no real knowledge about airlift operations and my humble opinion you have no first hand knowledge about military operations or tactics in general.

Do Russians really think they will casually sit in a Starbucks in Ukraine 6 months from now and not expect a grenade tossed in the front door? Ukrainians will strike back on “Russian” territory eventually.
***Between our betrayal of the Ukes and the Rukes violating the Budapest Agreement by their 2 invasions, Russians will be lucky to sit in a Starbucks in MOSCOW without fear of a nuclear plume.

Ukes have nuke knowledge, fissionable material, previous ownership of nukes, 15 nuke power plants, Chernobyl, and now the motivation to build their own nukes and use them in this existential war.

We dropped nukes in our existential war. Who are we to scold them if they drive their own suitcase nukes into Moscow? Especially after we betrayed them over Nukes.
