Fuck russia
To be more precise, fuck the current Russian government. Its not like all Russians are evil, they just happen to be born in a country with oppressive governments for the past… 2000 years or so?
According to polls, majority supports special operation, Putin and plenty still enlists to army 🤷♂️
You mean like the Russian elections where really 80+% votes for Putin and totally not because they are standing next to a window? Uh huh, sure, uh huh
Like 20% of the population will always support whoever is in power, another 10% will unless everyone is actively dying where they live, and then 30%-40% don’t care enough about politics to do wrongspeak. I don’t know what poll you’re looking at, but any additional percent is probably related to who’s doing the polling. Maybe 2% is there that actually supports it out of genuine independent thought, and even that I doubt because it’s just an objectively stupid war.
TL;DR we’re all just humans, and your countrymen would too in the same situation.
Have you seen russian first aid? (Nsfl)
Russians are, lets say unique. Always has been. There are attitudes in the Russian population that are cultural conflicting with peaceful societies. Dont excuse this campaign by blaming it on one individual. He has support.

I mean, past 1800 AD or so they were all degrees of shit everywhere agriculturalised. I don’t have any reason to expect Feodor I was noticeably worse than Elizabeth I.
Serfdom proves otherwise, but it’s not like it was a whole different ballgame.
Hmm. It had mostly died out in England by her time, apparently, which is interesting. It wasn’t formally abolished until 1925, but obviously was in practice.
Elizabeth was the first pre-modern English monarch I thought of, but she was also one of the most repressive from what I’ve heard. She was also the first to adopt a policy of genocidal brutality in Ireland. Feodor… was apparently sickly and possibly intellectually disabled. I wonder if life was easier or harder at the time than it had been under the princes.
Damn 32 F-16s could fuck some shit up, godspeed guys, godspeed.
Ukraine has stated they need 150-200 of them and I believe this commitment plus those from Denmark and the Netherlands will get them near 100.
200? do they plan to no-fly-zone the whole of Russia?
They can only carry a few missiles at a time, ukraine is huge, and some will inevitably get shot down.
200 sounds about right.
Factor in service rotations too and it makes even more sense
Not all of them will fly at the same time.
Some will be unavailable for various repairs, some will be too far from the interception target to get in time, some will inevitably destroyed from time to time. 200 isn’t that far fetched.There are some small concerns about parking to contend with.
Eh. They have range issues IIRC. They’ll mostly be good for interception.
If they’ve already had their most advanced pieces of hardware pulled out, its doubtful. Nevermind finding someone to actually pilot the damned things.
What Ukraine needs more than anything right now is more young professionals capable of operating the hardware of war. What they’re getting is a military garage sale.
If nothing else, these can parts and trainers . That’s pretty important.
Will they be able to get 3 working ones from these wrecks though? If they were in good condition, they’d still be using them.
