Is it absolutely out of the question to secure the Ukrainian airspace either by the US or NATO themselves? i understand the repercussions could be horrific, but can everyone just sit back and watch Russia, Belarus and Chechens slaughter Ukriane and take Kiev.

I wouldn't bother Deery.
Whatever about religious undertones, the authors of the 'Encyclopaedia of Wars' documented the history of recorded warfare, and from their list of 1763 wars only 123 have been classified to involve a religious cause, accounting for less than 7% of all wars and less than 2% of all people killed in warfare.
Clealy they didnt plan logistics very thoroughly.
Not sure about the first point, Petro Poroshenko was on Sky News earlier and he said they're around 2KM away now, something will kick off for sure this evening.
and given they’ve been planning this for months, if not years, it’s bizarrely poor
As I wrote yesterday; clowns are in charge here. And we are still blocking the swift exclusion as it looks like, a fecking joke
Tried to makes sound like Berchtesgaden. That’s what came to my mind first.
If Germans were known as bike robbers in Denmark and Netherlands are the Second World War, I can see the meme already…
Maybe it got lost in translation and it's 5000 soldiers called Helmut.
That’s a shame. It seems Russia has a grip on Germany. It needs to shake it off as the rest of the world can support each other against this.
Those helmets haven't got Disney characters on them have they?
Massive moment. Russia needs to be crippled off the back of this. The world economy is so vital to success and I do wonder if Putin has missed the bigger picture here.
In a world of cancel culture where no businesses will want to be associated with Russia, no talent will want to work in Russia and trade will be crippled there could be huge lasting impacts for Russia.
This war is likely to come at huge cost financially and human cost, but may achieve no long term success if they don't have the financial or human strength to consolidate their power. Even if they win the battle they could very well lose the longer term war.
I know I shouldn't but you made me laugh.
We as Germans have a historical responsibility towards the Ukrainian people. The way we are letting them down makes me furious. Our country is a joke.
The Bulgarian PM said the quiet part out loud there...Twat.
What a moron, I would expect this from the previous ape of a PM but this maddening.
Go for it. No worse than putting the Ukraine flag on a Facebook profile picture!
Yeah, it’s impressive alright being on the wrong side about basically everything. And the most sad thing about it is that any true discussion is impossible because the go to answer is “do your own research”.
I’m glad these nutters are few and far between here in Denmark.
Oh, she’s thankfully not a part of any group of mine. Just a fb acquaintance.
white refugees? Yes bring them in!
Very good point.
You do feel Russia and Putin has missed the bigger long term picture here. Too much inward antiquated thinking. The world has changed and Russia will find itself ostracised the longer this goes on.
Oil and Gas has long been its bargaining tool and there’s many countries who don’t need Russia anymore. This will get bigger following this. When you add to the move to renewable energies you have to wonder what happens in the long term as it certainly won’t be prosperous. Even more so ostracised in world isolation.
Which is true to form for them.
The hell? Thats so bizarre. Who the hell authorizes something like this?
Yes. But you'd think they would learn empirically by now.
Maybe she likes short men who like whipping their shirt off.
Game of chicken anybody?
They are not bulletproof.
it is a joke, but a real one. Keep rubbing it in, we deserve it. It‘s so embarrassing considering pur economical Power and expertise in modern weapon systems…….
Thanks for the rare opportunity to laugh.
It seems like Kyiv is going to become a new immense case study about urban warfare. What could the Ukrainians do in such situations as more and more Russians pour in? IED's & snipers?
Fairly certain I saw video yesterday of the ambush talked about in that Twitter thread.
He’s nearly 70 years old. I’m sure he doesn’t care about the long term implications.
Despite them without a doubt being ferocious warriors no one should trust Kadyrov's words on anything, especially when he's boasting.
Yeah, there’s video evidence disproving that lie
