Hey there is no corruption in the good ole US of A…..our elections are secur………. :lol: :lol: :lol:
but even in an historical context

the War of Independence was not fought by angels, and it was a dirty war, a desperate struggle
Oh for sure. War is hell on earth. Way more demons than angels for sure.
the Ukrainians are fighting like Americans here, the Russians are fighting like George III

this is Ukrainian Bunker Hill

I told my wife about the RCAF Hercules going into the breach

she says she is proud too, she is 100% behind the Ukrainians

she says she doesn't understand how any Americans could side with the Kremlin

it honestly feels like a long night is ending here

first with the Truckers rising up against tyranny at home

then with Canadians uniting against the Kremlin on behalf of Ukraine

Canadian pride is being restored, this is more like the Canada I was raised in

I'm for neither party for a very simple reason. Both parties are corrupt.

It really should. I have been waiting for somebody to do it. Biden should have done it a week ago. Fuck Putin. They don't have the balls to shoot down a NATO cargo aircraft and it would manifest be an act of war to do so, especially without substantive evidence of arms shipment therein.

tho many try to drag me down into the abyss with them

I remain an optimist of course

for Christ is with me

so there is nothing to fear

we shall prevail in the end

as all roads lead to Calvary

Saul becomes Paul on the road to Damascus, when he sees the light

Another thing.. I would substantially increase troop and material deployments to Poland and Romania right now, including large numbers of fighter and bomber wings, and whatever kinds of armament NATO thinks is necessary to counter that fleet. Get it prepped now rather than later. I would rather it deescalate and we have to move all that shit back than it escalate and we have to move it all there at the last minute (too late). Furthermore, I think we can push them right to their border at this point. Just keep moving equipment into Kyiv at this point. Men are going to flood into Ukraine now. They just need the material and equipment. As long as they can push this to a stalemate, we can eventually turn it around for them by out-supplying the Russians. At some point, a no-fly zone might actually be realistic as well. Even if we don't implement it, just having all the aircraft staged nearby may be enough leverage to convince the Russians to drastically limit their demands and expectations.


I am starting to look at this from an air doctrine perspective too, and the prospective of potentially testing their air power and actually defeating them is interesting. I don't know if it is possible, but many of the vulnerabilities of the F-35 kind of get erased if we can at least get them to Poland now unopposed. I am curious if they would back down in the face of large deployments of fifth generation aircraft deployed to Poland.

And our B-2 could be really bad news for their troops in Ukraine, period.
