-’safe and professional’ resembles The expression
“safe and effective”
a little too closely for my comfort.

“ safe and professional “, yeah, like our couple million of dollars surveillance drone Vlad brought down without firing off a shot- it was “ pissed on”, ( ironic) and now we send our expensive drones hundreds of kilometers away- safer from Vlad’s fighters.

I’ve got news for the US, Ivan doesn’t fight wars “ safe”, he fights to win….it won’t surprise me if the USAF losses more equipment poking the Bear.

Yes, as the Ukraine debacle further demonstrates to the world what a bunch of morons we now have in charge of our country, brilliant woke tacticians meet to come up with more ways to push us over the edge into a nuclear holocaust.

What an inversion of history.

Remember all the talk and writing about "if only Hitler had been stopped earlier" we could have avoided WWII?

Now, when Russia is gobbling up sovereign nations it vowed to protect, for the same reasons Hitler invaded Czechoslovokia and Austria, we are told, for the same reasons, it is perfectly correct for Russia to do so.

But..but... there are Russian speakers in Ukraine! Just like there were German speakers in Czechoslovakia.

I don’t care for needless warmongering in countries that are not ours no matter how much drama you add into the Biden proxy war for the coming Globalist government.

—”I’ve got news for the US, Ivan doesn’t fight wars “ safe”, he fights to win”

Perhaps in the old days?

What happened with the “special military operation”, and a quick victory?

I know! It is illegal to call it a war inside Russia and you do not want to be defenestrated.

Only thing left out was the shadowing armed US escort fighters that had to be bright on the SU27 radar making it behave instead of like the goon fighter that was dumping fuel all over the US recon a few months ago.

You don’t like needless warmongering? Then you oppose the presence of Russian nuclear bombers flying a few miles off of the US coast, right? And you agree with me that Russian aircraft making incursions into US airspace should be shot down?

“...Ivan doesn’t fight wars “ safe”, he fights to win...”

So, your eleven-time-zone country has been fighting for 16 months against a one-time-zone country and has been pushed out of Kherson, northern Ukraine, and northeast Ukraine. The Russian criminal invaders and human traffickers are not winning anything but Russian cemetery enlargements.

I agree. I also notice these same people hate America and are incapable of saying anything nice about America on a pro-American forum.

..say what? “gobblin” up nations?? How about protecting it’s borders from the ravenous NeoCon Nazis who shelled the Donbas to the tune of 7000 arty shells two weeks before he decided to show the world all the HunterI’mAPornStar Biden bio-labs that VickiF***theEU Nuland admitted were on the edge of the Russian border... Estimated 14k dead innocent civilians who had the audacity to ask for the referendum promised by the liars in Germany/NATO ?
I guess you would be outraged if we were freedom loving enough to invade the Cartel HQs in Mexico now that 100k of American druggies have died from that invasion across our border, right??? I mean you must be on our side or are you a Mexican/Chinese Commie lover who would blanch at the prospect of avenging American murders/deaths?? Curious minds want to know.... ymmv

The thing the Russian jets peed on was an unmanned drone, not a manned aircraft.

Let’s see, first Saddam was Hitler, then it was Milosevic, then Saddam again, then it was Assad and Gaddafi, now it’s Putin.

Russia has no interest in gobbling up other countries even if they could, and it’s obvious they’re not up to it anyway. I know the neocons are pushing this line, but sorry, that dog won’t hunt. Putin is hardly Mr. Nice Guy, but Hitler he ain’t. Nor is Russia the Germany of the latter 1930s.

Yes, I know comparing people to Hitler is passe.

However, in this case, comparisons to Hitler are apt for the reasons given.

“Russia has no interest in gobbling up other countries”

Like Ukraine?
