LOL. The west is allowing Russia to keep stolen land so Putin can “save face” as Macron said.
And the West is allowing Israel to keep stolen land to preserve the legacy of Levi Eshkol. Of course.
Fantasize about Putin’s warriors storming Odesa ....
At my #76, I said not a word about "storming Odesa." What I actually said was,
The Russian front line is attacking Nicolaev. If/when Nicolaev falls, they can procced to Transnistria, and Odesa will be cut off. In the Zaporizhzhia oblast, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is now behind Russian lines.
Your pretend response to your own fantasy is unbecoming.
It is a fact that Russia has been shelling Nicolaev. The obvious next step if/when they capture Nicolaev, is to proceed to the border of Transnistria. What I said was that Odesa would be cut off. There would be no need to storm Odesa.
How does the battlefield look today with the current 1-2 USAF aid flights a day?
Today, as on the first day of the war, Ukraine against Russia is a mismatch and hopeless. What do you think they are flying in that can sustain a 1,500 mile front? You are being ridiculous. The largest capacity aircraft the USAF has is the C5M at about 130T. Maxed out it would carry 173 lbs for each mile of front.
When they get to 8 to 10 flights a day, they will get back to claimed levels in April. I will be the game changer.
Pentagon: ‘Roughly 8 to 10 Flights a Day’ Full of Aid for Ukraine Pouring into EuropeApril 12, 2022 | By Greg Hadley and John A. Tirpak
Roughly eight to 10 flights full of supplies and equipment for Ukraine are landing in Eastern Europe every day, Pentagon press secretary John F. Kirby told reporters on April 12, as the U.S. and other nations race to get their aid packages into the hands of Ukrainians combatting Russia’s invasion.
It was 8-10 flights was from the whole world. It was never all US. Now it’s 1-3 from the USAF. Hardly a Berlin airlift and you know it. Of course there is other equipment (HIMARS, etc.) in other nearly NATO states (Romania, Poland, etc.) that don’t need airlift but we’ll just live in our fantasy world and imagine Ukraine is alone. We’ll also pretend Brandon isn’t allowing Russia to manage the sanctions, sell energy through 3rd parties, etc., rather than drill for more oil. That’s all subject to change.
You seem to be forgetting Ukraine is the home team here. Russia is the expeditionary force and barely capable of operating in many areas right now. Winter’s coming. Time to bundle up.
