Now Putin calls sanctions a declaration of war. This dirty bastard stops at nothing. Russians are erecting statues os of Stalin and referring to him as a hero. That tells you one thing. Russians are vermin.

I know quite a few Russians, all of them great guys. Let's not decent into generalisation and hate propaganda, shall we?Now Putin calls sanctions a declaration of war. This dirty bastard stops at nothing. Russians are erecting statues os of Stalin and referring to him as a hero. That tells you one thing. Russians are vermin.
I can sympathize with you as my situation is similar. I share a house with an estranged wife and my "Bark Angels" are all that I have to live for. It's a shame to have to admit it that but life is what it is. I was 4F during Vietnam and at 72 they most likely wouldn't accept me but I do know how to use a fire arm.Very close to my emotional response as well. I never served. I have no children or grandchildren. I'm not responsible for large numbers of civilians or Government personnel. When the mushrooms start sprouting, so what? I've had my fun and my marriage sucks. Yeah, let's blow stuff up! Easier than divorce court.
As much as I would love to see Putin "desert stormed", it would be morally bankrupt of me to say "we should do it".
Okay, this isn't the discussion I want on this forum. Let's stop right there!I do know how to use a fire arm and would really like to to kill a Russian before I die.
That explains why Europe is welcoming a million refugees. Make those Ukrainians into Syrians, Nigerians, Rohingya, Roma or Uyghurs and Europe says no thanks. Then again, my wife is Ukrainian-Canadian and I'm quite partial to the blonde, blue eyed, tough yet graceful women of Ukraine.Why? Blonde, blue eyed Ukrainians vs non-white other nationalities? Nah, couldn't be that obvious...
There is no mushy middle, if you're Russian today (or German in 1933-45) and you're not resisting Russia's war on Ukraine, you're either complicit or complacent. One's motivations in either direction can vary from: self/familial preservation; to willful ignorance/disinterest; to firm belief in "the cause"; to plain old self advancement and gain.Evil flourishes when good men do nothing - I think it goes like that.

More seriously, the war began in 2016 when Russia ensured the outcome of that US election. I do not wish to see us escalate above the nuclear threshold, but I will be the first to say that I believe that we have been at war this whole time and there are those who should fear Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution...
"No-fly zone" is a vague definition. It can be provided by different means, for example, giving Ukraine SAMs and assisting with electronic countermeasures.Dimlee, I truly understand your sentiment, and I wish we could, however a no fly zone would end up being a disaster. You have to remember that there are approx 11,000 warheads pointed at each other.

introducing any complex armament ssystems is taking months or years before it become real threat for enemy - sorry to say so but giving Ukrainians anything may require more than 8 hours training is pointless"No-fly zone" is a vague definition.

No. He just wouldn't have taken off. If that fat oinker is the pilot, he would been greased up fit in.
We are doing those things the best we can. We are already skirting the line.
I really feel for you. Ukraine is being thrown under the bus. I wish it were not so, and I wish more than ever that we could do more. Unfortunately, we have to think of the entire European continent and North America as well. Literally billions of people. It's not that simple.
Europe took in 1.3 million refugees back in 2015, that were fleeing wars in the middle east.That explains why Europe is welcoming a million refugees. Make those Ukrainians into Syrians, Nigerians, Rohingya, Roma or Uyghurs and Europe says no thanks.

In terms of manpower (quantity), yes, that's true!
That's a good question - if I had to guess I bet they would send "contractors" there to give OJT and operate the system at the same time.are they going to deliver crews as well, or at least instructors and ask putin to hold for a moment to train crews of radars put them in service, train artilery units how to utilize this??
