Adam Kinzinger wants NATO to enforce a No Fly Zone over Ukraine ?

these people in Washington are seriously detached from reality

[Smitty-48]

everybody is rooting for the plucky Ukrainians of course

although again, mobilizing the civilian population, handing out AK's, ordering them all to make molotov cocktails

that renders them all into combatants and legitimate military targets under the laws of armed conflict

if they are not wearing uniforms ?

the Russians are within their rights execute them on the spot as unlawful combatants

this government in Kiev is basically burning the village to save the village

[Smitty-48]

I'm still only seeing T-72's on the Russian side

I have seen one T-90 yet

the Russians still holding their best tanks in reserve

[Smitty-48]

still only seeing MiG-29s

haven't seen a Sukhoi Flanker yet

the Russians holding their best fighters in reserve

[Smitty-48]

that's very Russian

like the Pentagon will always come with the newest & best up front

whereas the Russians are taking a "don't use it until you need it" approach

[Smitty-48]

NATO has flown F-35's into Romania

might get to test that stealth out for reals now

[Smitty-48]

see, this is who the Ukrainian civilians are dying for here

not to absolve Putin of his aggression

but Petro Poroshenko is one of the most corrupt oligarchs on the face of the earth

burn the village to save the village

Amonie

the urge to destroy the other is the urge to destroy oneself

national suicide mission

this is the face of Fascism right here

[Smitty-48]

there are people rooting for this, as if the Ukrainians were fighting for the Declaration of Independence

but they ain't fighting for the Declaration of Independence

this is Oligarchy vs Oligarchy to determine which oligarch will rule with an iron fist

The Ukrainas foght of two air assaults at two airports around Kiev. At the last one, a military airport, they downed two transports gull of airborne troops.

A lot of reports of young, raw Russian recruits, who didn't even know they were being deployed for war, being hesitant to fight.

Putin was expecting his army to br greeted with open arms.

Next phase upcoming.
