The same morons who don't get it are spewing BS in the Israel/Palestine thread.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

The only pilot mentioned is Dino, who is 22. This seems to confirm something I speculated on about a hundred pages ago, that the Ukrainians have sent younger pilot trainees and building pilots from the ground up. I assume they must have some experience, but everything I've seen is they are young. The Ukrainian AF has lost a lot of veteran pilots, but, not all. I wonder if the calculation was it would be easier to train younger pilots versus unlearning some stuff on older pilots who had flown MiGs for a long time, and then train them up?
22, damn. That's WW2 stuff there. The kid would be in college if it weren't for a mad man.
This is the clown show and not Trump stating Putin invading Ukraine was genius? Ok.
Sounds like another disinformation campaign to blame further fighting on the WH.
Good observation. Another is that fewer and fewer old Soviet airframes are gonna be around in coming years. Train those “kids” on “newer” birds.
They can both be true, with differing degrees of idiocy.
It’s obvious you’re unable to comprehend that point
The march to 1,000,000 has begun.
Jeez. Those peasants have no choice but to march forward.
I think we can all agree that these stats are fairly accurate and represent casualties and not deaths. To put some context here are the stats for WWII
Research Starters: US Military by the Numbers | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans
See a breakdown of numbers in the US military, by branch and year, in World War II.
We basically had 1,078,000 casualties, with 407,000 deaths. That was fighting Nazi’s and Japanese and their numerous allies in dozens and dozens of countries in Europe, North Africa and the Pacific over about twice the amount of time. It was also at a time where our population was almost exact same as Russia is now.
So, basically, the massive miscalculation Putin made has his country in a war with a country smaller than Texas, where they are suffering the equivalent to WWII US casualties and deaths and will equal our numbers if it goes on for two more years. They likely have about 200k dead and 300k injured. Just incredible. Another way to look at that is about 3 times our Vietnam numbers incurred over 10 years in a mere 27 months. Let me say that angain, Russia has gone through and suffered losses the equivalent of three of our Vietnam Wars in 2 years and 3 months. And we all know how big an impact WWII and Vietnam made on us as a nation. We still have new books, movies and tv shows on it these 60/80 plus years later. Russia is ****ed and has already lost.

Putler’s death and Russia’s defeat in Ukraine may signify a point the world can start going forward together after a whole bunch of Chaos 2018-2024
For Putin to withdraw, Republicans cannot be in control of US politics.
For Putin to invade Democrats have to be in control of US politics.
This is exactly why NATO weapons should be used to take out rail lines and supply roads 100 miles into the Russian border (even using NATO assets, if practical).
If Ivan complains, tell him they're probably from Iran or something....everything Ukraine is using is from inside Ukraine, bro...
Beyond the propaganda it is interesting Ukraine is said to continue to hit these radars which can also detect drones and missiles per prior threads.
These guys are just jaw droppingly stupid
I wonder if the flames are from hitting a gas tank, or all the alcohol in their bloodstream?
I've said this before, Russia has a massive demographic problem. They already have low birth rates, and a low average lifespan due to chronic alcoholism and poor health care. They lost per capita something like the 3rd most citizens during the Covid pandemic. This war is handicapping their economy for a generation, and maybe in ways that can never be recovered from. Even if they start mobilizing all the fancy boys from Moscow and St. Petersburg they cannot replace their losses on the battlefield.I think we can all agree that these stats are fairly accurate and represent casualties and not deaths.

Yes, the US needs to allow weapons to be used on Russian soil, but the Ukrainians have done a great job utilizing weapons on contested soil. ATACMs strikes in the eastern provinces and in Crimea have been devastating.

You mean vs Republicans in control and turning a blind eye to Russian aggression?
Cause Putin couldn't wait for 2028 since Dems supported NATO.
Around 100 more going to Ukraine.

Looks like they caught Nat’s brother @MichaelKeller99
This may be the last straw for Putin. War is coming home to Moscow. They can’t hide it anymore.
