They let people out of prison and gave them guns.... "Go and kill a Russian!" with a stern finger.

Unsurprising that there's maybe been a few issues with that strategy

But the question was under what authority can the United States enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Ukraine can grant that authority.

Zelensky already has requested the USA for a no-fly zone.  Anybody arguing otherwise is an idiot.  USA is the only country with Raptors and more than token F-35s, plus F-15 bomb trucks, Vipers, Hornets, the best bombers in the business by far, and ample supply of tankers, AWACS, command/control, etc.

USA has the largest Air Force in the world. It is basically, the only western country that can lead a no-fly zone.

Russia, honestly, seems to be the last country I can think of that isn't controlled by these elites, cabal, NWO, whatever you want to call them. Putin said he will defeat them at all cost. Many believe they originated with Soros from Ukraine which is why he is fighting them. Maybe I am completely wrong but I wasn't wrong about the fake covid hype or the stolen election.

Su-27 Returning From Romania Will Likely Be The Last Fighter Ukraine Gets For Some Time



As you can see in this photo below, after the Su-27 diverted to Romania, it is fully loaded with air-to-air missiles, but it returned without any armament. This is because NATO countries will not send an armed aircraft into Ukrainian airspace as not to be dragged into the conflict. If the Su-27 had shot down a Russian aircraft while trying to return to its base, it could have resulted in a major international incident and escalation point. As such, the jet returned unarmed and required an escort of Ukrainian fighters once in Ukrainian airspace. Its missiles will likely be returned via other means, such as via Il-76 transport, as NATO has been supplying the Ukrainian Air Force with replenishments for their air-to-air missile stocks.

He's a failed economic "expert" scam artist that fled to Ukraine after he was accused of rape and also to avoid paying child support. He found a small amount of success rebranding as a MGTOW alt right talking head, and now he's in an active warzone spreading pro-russian propaganda (He's sucked putin's dick on twitter for years). There's your synopsis.

I mean FFS, the last thing I would want to do is arm crooks, but you know if the choice was to do it, or to have less defenders, then I would pick and choose and arm the most trustworthy ones.  We use criminals to perform jobs all the time.  My agency had a few work crews with chainsaws and weed eaters always out cleaning up roadsides and cleaning up homeless camps.  A few run away but they were not in there for major violent crimes...

This candy ass complaining in the video is just bitching because he is too fucking worthless to take his own self defense into his own hands.  No sympathy from me.  He could have procured something at any point prior, and if more people like him would have stepped up there would be no need to have criminals helping.

I guess that is a great example of CYA. "We didn't send armed fighters to fight against you, we just let them borrow some unarmed equipment and gave them some supplies".

Macnamara shut it down. Now Airbus builds planes there. Also, Theodore is a major central point for oil pipelines. And the Navy built NAS oceana on the corner of the industrial canal and then abandoned it a few years later.

This is probably one more part of Putin's psychosis - Russia continues to fall farther and farther behind, and with a stable government in Kyiv, Ukraine pulls ahead of their former masters. Only with a vastly corrupt Russian stooge running Ukraine (see pre-2014 Maidan movement) does Russia compare well socially and economically with Ukraine. By pulling closer to the prosperous EU, Ukraine threatens to leave Russia in the dust for all to see. Putin loses credibility.
