Autonomy has it’s drawbacks.

At least Russia can supply it by it’s mastery of the seas./sarc.

The Ukraine lost the war some time ago. Russians have air superiority leaving Zelensky to ask for planes and saying he could train pilots to use them in 60 days. So Russia’s air superiority against Ukraine’s new trainees and donations. Uhmmm...no.

This propaganda is just spin.

They got themselves into this mess. Can’t blame NATO for expanding, right? Put them in a corner? Too many pundits say just that. Look at Russian history. Victims and aggressors equally. What did they do in Poland? Don’t you think the rest of Europe is wary? Just ask Finland and Sweden.

Help them bleed.

There’s plenty of resources to help everyone succeed over there, including human capitol. Too bad they’d rather kill.

Nice of your Putin to expose his Kerch Bridge air defenses for the U.S. and NATO spy plans and satellites tonight. Just like Putin did for the Moskva.

The Ukraine lost the war some time ago.

Do you think the Russian retreat from Nikolaev, Kiev, Snake Island, etc. are actually ‘goodwill gestures’ and not clear cut evidence of Russian failures? Do you recall Putin telling the Spanish PM in 2014 that if he wanted to he could take Kiev in “two week”? Do you think he didn’t realize he was wrong, or that he just doesn’t really want to capture Kiev and instead to drag out this war for months?

“Russians have air superiority”

Correction: HAD.

Russia is now evacuating their aircraft from Crimea to the Russia air bases at Yeysk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Krymsk. Aside from the bases at Kacha and Belbek (Sevastopol) there’s nothing on the apron at any other base in Crimea.

Even the Dzhankoi helicopter base has been evacuated.

Belbek is the largest Russian airbase in temporarily-occupied Crimea.
