Talking with friend in Poland, they have a much less rosey perspective on the leaders in UKR now that millions of refugees are pouring in. One thing at a time. Ukraine is not perfect, fair enough. The nation of Ukraine was invaded by a much larger and much more powerful neighboring nation without provocation. The people of Ukraine have made it clear they would rather die on their feet then live on their knees, our kind of culture. They are up against terrible odds. Those are the things that matter right now. In this war the survival of Ukraine depends on support from around the world. Without support their cities will be shelled, their civilians murdered, their leaders executed in public. Civilians won't be heading back to Ukraine from Poland until it is once again free. The sooner the better. They want to go home. |

Quote HistoryI was JUST going to post this!  For the TLDR crowd: >Discusses the difficulty of NATO members supplying ex-Soviet model aircraft to the Ukrainian AF (guest commentator assesses that SAM systems would be easier to integrate and overall more useful anyway). >Discusses the extreme practical and political difficulties of establishing a NFZ (in short, even if you could establish an NFZ, it would be a primarily American-led effort, AND it would confirm every bit of Russian propaganda and misinformation about the causes of the war. In other words, the political advantages of keeping things as they are, FAR outweigh any theoretical tactical advantage). >And other things, such as the TB2s, why western powers over-estimated Russian AF capabilities, and so on, and so forth. GREAT STREAM! |

Edit: To add a warning: Warning: This response is full of Sarcasm, and was a tongue and cheek comment about our less than free states. Yes I’m aware that you have an advantage against cops in a tank, yes I’m aware that most states could give a shit about gun control while we are being invaded, no I did not think this many arfcomers would be stupid enough to think this was a serious response. Yes after being here since 2008 and primarily reading and not posting I should have known better. |

They can close the valves at the upstream compressor station if they want, you can still screw them on the down stream end. And if they are on a SCADA network, they need someone in the OPS center to maintain and monitor the SCADA system. Ask me how I know. |
