Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them.

We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.

We pray for the world that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need.

May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world.

Amen. [The Catholic Agency for Overseas Development ]

I wonder if the loss of pilots doesn’t matter even more than the loss of air frames. I’ve heard that the Russians have the bad habit of using up their best pilots until they die. This might be the kind of situation that Japan found itself in the WW2.
Even so, unless the US can somehow get itself to provide arms to Ukraine all this might not matter for what I’m afraid could turn out to be the first stage of the next world war.
As we convince our current and potential western Pacific allies not to trust us, Russia is destroying its air force but rebuilding its industrial base and Europe is slowly rearming (and potentially deciding it has less of a need to be tied to US global political decisions).
I’m sure everyone is tired of parallels being drawn to the 1930’s, but I can’t help but see alarming similarities.

I have no comment on the article, just the Author Davis Axe. He is a leftist tool writing for a now communist CCP owned Forbes. He has multiple articles every week in regards to this war and EVERY single one will have this line.....”thanks to Russia-aligned Republicans”

This Republican certainly is not in Putin’s camp. But I don’t care much for the corrupt Ukraine, there Natzi elements and having to fund them. This is European problem and they have the money and capacity to deal with it PERIOD.

Gosh - if all your posts about how the Ukraine is mopping the floor with Russia were true - the Ukraine doesn’t need out help and has obviously already won...

There are some reports from Ukraine now stating 51 planes in 11-days. If anything, the losses of Russia aircraft indicate that bombing the AFU with FABs is in overdrive.

The FABs have changed the war. Now there are reports of 2500 and 5000 lb FABs being prepared for use.

Ukraine is experiencing exactly what Germany did in WWII with stop gap victories but strategic losses. The Ukrainian 3d Brigade is a US Division sized unit and has been expending itself for the past month buying time for Ukraine to build hasty trenches east of the big breakthru.

By the end of March, Ukraine will have retreated to the East Dniper River.

Russian and Ukraine bloggers say now they expect Russia to push East and try to take Kiev, but they have put so much pressure across the lines they are at several breaking points.

The front lines were about 620 miles long - some are predicting that they will be over a thousand miles long in another month.

When the dam breaks at the front lines Ukraine will like Germany in 1944, on the road to defeat.

We are being warned by Lloyd Austin that the United States (NATO) will go to war with Russia if they defeat Ukraine. Of course SecDef has to come out strong. England manning Storm Shadow, France manning Missiles, Germany manning missiles in Ukraine after the German Army Commander and staff were taped taking about British and French active duty military serving in Ukraine under the guise of Mercenaries... then France and Britian accused Germany of endangering operational awareness and possibly making Britian and France possible targets for Russian strikes in retaliation.

The writing is one the wall. Ukraine cannot be salavaged by Bilateral Security Agreements allowing English, French, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, and German Military Units to engage Russian troops on the battlefield independent of NATO Article 5. Good luck with that. As soon as British troops are on the ground, and a storm shadow missile hits a Russian oil refinery or city, Russia is going to make a smoking hole on British land, and it may come as a frist strike all over NATO. NATO will allow it’s land or military bases to be hit while supporting Ukraine without attacking Russia calling it defensive.

NATO will ignite at a minimum an European Continental War of Agressionk due to its never-ending expansion.

Lloyd Austin threatening a war direct war with Russia was meant with Russia putting it’s entire Nuclear Force on Def Con 1. They are planning a nuclear detonation on their testing island.

I believe that NATO thinks it can attack Russia using it’s NATO troops under Bilateral Agreements in Ukraine without Russia being allowed to attack their home countries. This is insanity. We are not simply on the bring of a tactical level nuclear war, we are on the verge of a nuclear exchange.

Between the WEF wanting to reduce the population and take Russian resources, maybe our Western leaders are going to solve their population problem in a war in which they hope to defeat Russia.

No matter where you stand on this war it is time to stop the maddnes of Biden’s Mutually Assured Destruction. The West is collasping under the weight of the Global Agenda, the Race Card, Illegal Immigration, and Homosexual destruction of Christanity.

Never mind these claims are completely unverified.

Meanwhile, on the actual battlefield, Ukraine's defense lines continue to collapse and Russia keeps making daily gains:

Only if you believe Ukrainian propaganda which of course is just a ploy to get more hush money from the United States corrupt politicians to continue to cover up whatever graft greed and corruption they had going on there.
