Ukraine’s never going to win.
Russia’s never going to leave.

I didn’t see any proof there either. "Earlier this month British military intelligence officially confirmed the mid-air explosion of a Russian A-50U surveillance aircraft, which Ukraine says it shot down — in what would be the first downing of such an aircraft in the 21st century." That not good enough for you? It's very first paragraph.
To: Chad C. Mulligan
Why would anyone believe British intelligence? They are as corrupt, maybe even more corrupt, than our own.
Ukes aren’t shooting down anything. I imagine NATO “mercenaries” are doing the work if it is happening at all.

Don’t know, but no proof ever showed up that they shot down the first one. Russian milbloggers reported it:
Russian military bloggers with close army links did report an incident over the Azov Sea.
“It will be another dark day for the Russian Aerospace Forces and Air Defense,” wrote Rybar, a blogger with nearly 1.2 million subscribers who supports and provides running commentary on Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“There are not many A-50s. And the specialists operating them are generally rare. If an aircraft of this type is hit, the crew will not be able to escape.”
Telegram channel WarGonzo acknowledged that the A-50 had been destroyed.
So they took to flying them farther south, overland. But not far enough...
We'll probably hear in a few weeks that new planes have been operating in theater.

You’ve got your own prancing fairy running your government.They sure do. What a prissy boy. And then there’s the suit/shoes fashion faux pas. I’m not even into fashion, but that screams.

Trump gets my vote, even if I have to write him in; Millions of others will do the same Why not Biden? But for his election this stuff you cheer on Russia for would not and could not have happened. Biden's election secured it and will allow this and more to endure...why on earth would you want Trump back in power to ruin all of this carnage and oppression you care so deeply about?

Getting a little light on the comedy by summoning them here - this is just a plane crashing...nothing like the laughs over murder, etc. you’ve enjoyed in the past.

After all, Putin is pretty stupid

Actually, my preference is for this war to end BEFORE it goes nuclear, but given your buddies in the White House, I may not be that lucky.
