I appreciate your and John Nolte’s views on most things, but this is not one of them. We lost in Afghanistan because, as Trump noted, we were unable as a matter of law and custom, to exterminate the Taliban and its civilian supporters. Conversely, the Taliban won because it is better organized and more competent than the government we backed *and* it can exterminate its civilian opponents.
A no-fly zone in Ukraine is pure force-on-force. People flying Russian military helicopters and airplanes cannot reasonably be called civilians. In force-on-force encounters, we can clean Russian clocks. Heck, by simply surviving despite a ramshackle inventory and nugatory budgets, the Ukrainian Air Force has shown the essential unreadiness of the Russian Air Force, which has 10x the aircraft.

Globalist warmongers want millions of people of European heritage to die in World War Three.
That is their motivation.
They don’t expect to win World War Three.
They don’t want to win World War Three.
They just want the death and destruction of World War Three.
