The Ukrainians are however shelling donetsk civilian areas and killing 2-5 a day.
You think Russians are perishing in large numbers in this war?
I have a bridge for sale.
Putin’s fascists: the Russian state’s long history of cultivating homegrown neo-Nazi
Why have the Rooskies not exhibited total Air Superiority/Dominance over Ukraine?
—————————————-
Because they don’t have to. Their Sukhoi S35 fighters can down any plane Ukraine has left without even entering Ukrainian airspace using the R37M air to air missile which flies at Mach 5 with a range of 220 miles.

I love when people like you have nothing to contribute to discussion.
And belong to the hoho side, of course.
You can’t take the hoho out of some people. Posts like yours are often dead giveaways.
Russian warships, including submarines, left their Black Sea base — most likely toward positions to strike Ukrainian targets.
I read more about that elsewhere and did not think they were heading anywhere specifically. Interesting.
“Soledar officially liberated, Russian control”
//////
Laughing out loud.
The Russian army isn’t even daring to fight in Soledar! There is NO Russian army there. Kremlin had to send convicts from the private Wagner group to do its dirty work. And Wagner is being decimated 6 to 1 there !
“There are 200 Leopard 2A4’s in storage in Spain alone.
Some of those are going soonish, IIRC.”
Great news!
Let’s end the Kremlin-KGB-Russia invasion of sovereign Ukraine.
The Ukrainians are however shelling donetsk civilian areas and killing 2-5 a day.
American conservatives don’t believe spoon fed Kremlin Bolshevik fairy tales. We’re better than that.
I suppose those 20,000 Poles shot themselves in the head at Katyn? No, that mass murder was on orders of the Kremlin and now the Russian people deify Stalin. The historical Nazi nature of Russian society is quite obvious to all but true believing Russophiles.
Exactly!
Kremlin nazi troops invading a sovereign country (Ukraine) must leave now. Russia, save your citizens at least. Stop using your people as cannon fodder. You are dying for nothing. Ukraine will take back Donbas and Crime anyways.
However, Ukrainians are gentlemen so they will never invade Moscow. So, dear Kremlin KGB crowd, stop being so scared about the Ukrainian Vikings! They will not destroy you, if you go back home to Mother Russia.
And yet no Russian aircraft can actually overfly and be on call over Ukrainian airspace to perform basic interdiction functions like attacking convoys, blowing bridges and highway overpasses; or performing on-call frontline air support.
You know, the things the USAF does.
Btw, the UkAF is still flying and Ukraine is getting aifreight, S35’s notwithstanding. Probably because even the F35’s dont dare overfly Ukrainian airspace.
If the Russian AF could do all that air superiority stuff, among other things that would have ended significant rail and highway traffic in Ukraine, and they they would have won the war by now.
At what time did u learn that u totally lost it?
Syria has repeatedly asked us to leave.
But no.
Who told you that? 😂😂😂
◾Today, at one of the temporary accommodation centers in Shakhtersk, I met with residents of Soledar and other settlements from the vicinity of Artemovsk.
◾They were rescued by the Russian army and taken out, many with small children, from places shelled by Ukrainian fighters.
◾People with tears in their eyes tell stories about that they have experienced, they say that there is nothing left but life. But, the main thing is that they are saved.
◾Soledar will soon be included in the zone of administrative responsibility of the Donetsk People’s Republic, and citizens with Soledar registration will be able to count on all social guarantees that apply to residents of the Republic. Today they are provided with all necessary support, including preparation of necessary documents.

Katyn was 1940. Get over it already.
And it wasn’t Russia. It was the USSR.
Or, if you want to stay back there..
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia
the ethnic cleansing was a Ukrainian attempt to prevent the post-war Polish state from asserting its sovereignty over Ukrainian-majority areas that had been part of the prewar Polish state.[10] Henryk Komański and Szczepan Siekierka write that the killings were directly linked to the policies of Stepan Bandera’s faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and its military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, whose goal as specified at the Second Conference of the OUN-B on 17–23 February 1943 (March 1943 in some sources) was to purge all non-Ukrainians from the future Ukrainian state.
Hohols never change, though. Even back then they were trying to achieve ethnic purity.
Just more on what the Ukrainians did to Poles.
“Attacks on Poles during the massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia were marked with extreme sadism and brutality. Rape, torture and mutilation were commonplace. Poles were burned alive, flayed, impaled, crucified, disembowelled, dismembered and beheaded. Women were gang raped and had their breasts sliced off, children were hacked to pieces with axes, babies were impaled on bayonets and pitchforks or bashed against trees.
The atrocities were carried out indiscriminately and without restraint. The victims, regardless of their age or gender, were routinely tortured to death. Norman Davies in No Simple Victory gives a short but shocking description of the massacres:
Villages were torched. Roman Catholic priests were axed or crucified. Churches were burned with all their parishioners. Isolated farms were attacked by gangs carrying pitchforks and kitchen knives. Throats were cut. Pregnant women were bayoneted. Children were cut in two. Men were ambushed in the field and led away. The perpetrators could not determine the province’s future. But at least they could determine that it would be a future without Poles.[118]
An OUN order from early 1944 stated:
Liquidate all Polish traces. Destroy all walls in the Catholic Church and other Polish prayer houses. Destroy orchards and trees in the courtyards so that there will be no trace that someone lived there.... Pay attention to the fact that when something remains that is Polish, then the Poles will have pretensions to our land”.[119]
UPA commander’s order of 6 April 1944 stated: “Fight them [the Poles] unmercifully. No one is to be spared, even in case of mixed marriages”.[120]”
Oh. And here are estimates of the Poles killed by Ukrainians then..
“The Institute of National Remembrance estimates that 100,000 Poles were killed by the Ukrainian nationalists (40,000–60,000 victims in Volhynia, 30,000–40,000 in Eastern Galicia and at least 4,000 in Lesser Poland, including up to 2,000 in the Chełm region).[2] For Eastern Galicia, other estimates range between 20,000 and 25,000,[142] 25,000 and 30,000–40,000.[111] Niall Ferguson estimated the total number of Polish victims in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia to be between 60,000 and 80,000,[143] G. Rossolinski-Liebe: 70,000–100,000,[144] John P. Himka: 100,000.[3] According to Motyka, from 1943 to 1945 in all territories covered by the conflict, approximately 100,000 Poles were killed.[145] According to Ivan Katchanovski, a Ukrainian political scientist, between 35,000 and 60,000; “the lower bound of these estimates [35,000] is more reliable than higher estimates which are based on an assumption that the Polish population in the region was several times less likely to perish as a result of Nazi genocidal policies compared to other regions of Poland and compared to the Ukrainian population of Volhynia”.[141
“I will go out on a limb for a guess when Ivan starts their long awaited push, Jan 20th, “
No, it was no later than December 19th, with 500K surronding according to your fanboi McGregor....
The USAF only bombs third world countries with limited or absent air defence. They have never gone up against a peer or near peer nation. Russia flies over Ukraine but they can do most of what they need to do with missiles, drones and guided arty. This is an attrition war-it’s the slow grind that wins it.
