You probably still think Ukraine somehow will regain the lost five ethnic Russian provinces…..Hopium and Unicorns.

Vlad still holds all the cards, and there is nothing the West can do.

“Vlad still holds all the cards, “

Vlad holds more than cards. He holds the $millions he stole from the Russian workers.

Rob the state pension fund to pay for his two week war.

Russia is broke. Cannot afford to continue this war.

But ending the war would put millions out of work.

21% interest rates, 10% inflation, food shortages.

Not so good.

Yes, the tipping or the rockets with their wing tips was done whenever they could do so. That was a gutsy move by the RAF pilots.

[laplata]

Most of the tipping happened over land when they were at cruising altitude and speed and level.

Vlad holds nothing, Trump has all the Trump cards.

Most have no idea about a Russian deck of cards, they play with a very different deck, which is why the West is very, very disadvantaged.

I wouldn’t say that it was effective. They suffered in thousands of casualties perbraid. Moscow actually had the best air defense in WWII. Some two months of Gean bombing in 1941 resulted in virtually no damage but huge losses of aircraft. The blitz ended after the first Russian bombing of Berlin. A single raid caused more damage than the e tire German campaign.

And who is trying to achieve peace and why? Kellog is a neocon plant whose daughter is profiteering in Kiev. He has Trump’s war right now and peace is the last thing he wants.

He has Trump’s war right now and peace is the last thing he wants.

It’s the last thing Putin or Zelensky want as well.

The conman, grifter zelensky really wants peace.... continuing to attack putin...,

The only time you stop attacking to ask for peace is when you're the aggressor and and want to show you're willing to stop, are clearly winning, or have such capability that a pause in fighting won't lose you any ground/advantage.

Ukraine is none of those, so their only options to force Russia into peace (temporary or permanent) is either complete surrender, or hit Russia hard enough often enough for Putin to pause and think that peace might be a better option than continuing the special military operation.

[Svartalfiar]

The best option was to allow P-51s to strafe suspected V-2 sites in Germany, as the P-51 had excellent range and total air superiority by the time the V-2 was fully operational.

Putin definitely wants peace, “ceasefire” is not peace. Zelensky wants gravy train to go on, and Trump to preserve a proxy. Trump is in the most uncomfortable situation from a political standpoint. If anything, Ukraine is in a process of dismantling of American influence in favor of the British in their country.
