Conflicts not exactly known for their aerial dog fights or missile defense capability.

“its what we call people who start invasions for territorial gain.”

Even when the people of that region want the takeover? They don’t want the corrupt Ukrainian regime in charge.

“most Ukrainians are fighting ferociously”

That happens under conscription and you have a choice because you will be shot from behind if you don’t shoot forward. Not much of a choice when you are forced into service and have a gun in your back. Never in history has this worked out well.

“As to corruption, by every measure Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine”

Again I ask if you have ever been in Ukraine and experienced the corruption because I have. It is a battle of the haves and have nots.

This is not our war. It is a distraction from our own problems that are more urgent than some little pissing contest in a world half away that if we get involved could escalate into thermal Armageddon in a heart beat.

Why in the world would an American Pilot put his life in danger for a border dispute in Eastern Europe?
