Does that make one an ace +1? Surely infantry get scores for air kills?
Hand them a load of rusty blunderbusses (blunderbae?) and send them back to the Motherland.European leaders divided on giving asylum to fleeing Russians

I don't understand Russia. They look like us, have similar European origins, but can't do anything well. Why are concepts such as democracy, incorruptibility, personal freedom, free speech and basic rights, freedom of the press, economic liberalism, etc. so foreign to the Russians? All of their European neighbours less, for now Belarus have this, including Poland and the Baltic trio. Russia has defeated every invader since the Mongols…. they're a victorious nation, but act like defeatist isolationists, always seeking respect. What's wrong with the Russia headpiece?The phrase "couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery" springs to mind:

Once again, right from Hitler's playbook.The phrase "couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery" springs to mind:

Let's not fall into the quadmire of US politics and thus risk having this thread shut down. I'm less interested in Russian politics, and more referring to the Russian national mind, way of thinking/living and culture. What makes Russians feel so inferior that they must use such false bravado and invade their neighbours who are doing nothing to threaten Russia beyond pursuing liberty and happiness.and to a certain American…..
and to a certain American political party.
You should travel and find out what a lot of foreigners think of the current situation in the US. Some love it, some hate it and some who love it fear for its short term future.
Seventy five years ago the greatest nation on earth, now rapidly moving towards a dysfunctional banana republic. No other empire has crashed so quick. No other country has impeached a president for having sex with a consenting adult. Already there is talk of impeaching the current president (https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/25/...iden-impeachment-house-republicans/index.html). If that happens it will quite likely be because he is spending future tax cuts for the billionaires in Ukraine as that is what one politician in Arizona is openly saying is wrong with the current administration. If he, and others, get their way American aid to Ukraine will end this year.
