Well, the Ukrainians seem to be effectively taking out Russian air defences. If the West finally got its shit together and supplied enough F-16s the war would soon be over,
which is what everyone wants.

And before anyone starts thinking this is war-mongering on my part and only serves the interests of the arms industry. It is not. There are huge stockpiles of retired F-16s that could be given to Ukraine without it costing anyone anything, except maybe the Russians their illusions of grandeur. It would also be the fastest, cleanest, least bloody way to end this for all concerned.
"failed counteroffensive" Obv you haven't been following the Avdiivka direction. At all.
Or the Kherson direction. Or the Crimean direction.
The real battle is in the south, and RU is losing logistics, manpower and equipment. ATACMS are now online and hitting their mark - and the F-16s will be in the air by end of the year. Russia is losing - and will be crushed.
You should read the whole story, man before beginning to fantasise. The Economist agrees.
Strategically, Ukraine is losing the war because of the inadequate perception of the situation by society.
This opinion was expressed by the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Kukharchuk in an interview with Channel Five.
He claims that at the beginning of the war, all Ukrainians were ready to defend the country, there were many volunteers. But after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kiev, the situation changed.
"Immediately after that, I noticed that there were theses in the media that we are fighting with homeless people, that the Russian army does not know how to fight, that in principle victory will be in a week or two, a maximum of a month. That first in the spring, then in the summer, then in the autumn, then in the winter, without specifying which winter, we will go to the Crimea. That the victory is basically victorious. So people were put in a warm bathroom. We have broken down the vision of reality. But it didn't happen in Russia. They began to realize that the war was not going to be easy for them. They realized that they would have to fight for a long time," Kukharchuk believes.
He also says that the Russians are "getting stronger" every day, and if Ukraine really fought the "degenerates", it would have defeated them long ago.
"That's why we're losing. They have these processes going on, and their public readiness is much higher than that of our society. And when they talk about a nuclear bomb, a war of all against all, for some reason it seems to me that they are ready for these processes, " the battalion commander added.

Former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has slammed the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU, lambasting the country as massively âcorrupt.â
âAnyone who has had anything to do with Ukraine knows that this is a country that is corrupt at all levels of society. Despite its efforts, it is not ready for accession; it needs massive internal reform processes,â Juncker said during an interview with German outlet Augsburger Allgemeine published Thursday.
âMaking false promisesâ to Ukrainians regarding EU accession âwould be neither good for the EU nor for Ukraine,â added Juncker, who was boss at the Berlaymont in Brussels from 2014 to 2019.
âYou shouldnât make false promises to the people in Ukraine who are up to their necks in suffering,â Juncker said. âI am very angry about some voices in Europe who are telling Ukrainians that they can become members immediately.â
A bit late. Fully assimilated into the melting pot.
Never too late. WW2 was just as long ago in eastern Europe as it is in Canada, and in Ukraine it has been worth (so far) almost a decade of war—murdering tens of thousands of human beings, wrecking the landscape and livelihoods of millions more, sending millions off as refugees, and condemning uncountable young men to the waking nightmares of PTSD.
Own it. Bring it home. Ask Putin to invade Canada.
Well, that settles it. The smoking gun, the casus belli: Canada is obviously full of Nazis. They are such enthusiastic Nazis that they are giving the Nazi saute with both hands, even banging those hands together in a threatening manner. Nazis. All of them.
Well, almost all of them: there is an oppressed Russian minority (oops, did I say minority? I meant majority! After you take over you can have a referendum) who really want to speak Russian and be part of Russia again. I'm sure you can get one of them to say so.
You should appeal to Uncle Vladimir to send a special military operation to root those Nazis out. After all,Canada is a made-up country! There is no such language as "Canadian", and I saw Putin holding up a map from the 1600s that didn't even have the word "Canada" on it.
I'm sure you can find a separatist group in Canada that you could arm and get them to take over some town or other, declare they're a separate country, and get Russia to recognize it...then annex it. Sure, some of that group might be literal Nazis but mumble mumble.
What are you waiting for? Get busy! You have a countryânay, a continentâto save from Nazis!

Only 1998 to go... Canada apologizes for honoring another veteran from unit that fought with Nazis The representative of King Charles III in Canada expressed âdeep regretâ for giving elite awards to Peter Savaryn, the former chancellor of the University of Alberta who served with SS Galichina during World War II
Hey, I've got a good idea. Let's obfuscate the real issues and focus on token triggers and guilt by association so as to promote the Neo-Soviet reincarnation of the Nazi playbook. That sound like a wise use of time and resources to you?
AMSTERDAM â In the aftermath of World War II, more than 300,000 Dutch people were investigated as collaborators, from men who volunteered for the German army to those accused of betraying resisters and Jews, who were often arrested or sent to their deaths.
gee, looks like Ukraine wasn't the only country with people supporting the Nazi cause.
