Honestly, it's worth trying as means to show the world a starker contrast between democracies and autocracies. The Soviets did feck all during the Berlin Airlift that lasted nearly a year in 1948-1949, and that was despite the fact that West Berlin was already surrounded by East Germany. Nevertheless, we will need pilots with balls of steel to do that.
edit: When I meant "feck all", I meant that the Soviet did not shoot down planes carrying the goods.

Ah in the past different populations had vastly different versions of events. It's not new. The imperialist has rarely told citizens the truth. And nationalism is often built on pseudohistory.
True, of course.
But also true is that, to generalise, Boomers are wrecking the planet and are a dangerous generation - Boomer leaders are utter maniacs.
Note - I’m talking generationally, I have friends and heroes who are Boomers (who agree with this point).
Yeah who would sign up to pilot those planes in an active war zone?
But will we still get Super Tommy Tuchel?
What about if chemical weapons are used? I could see that as a justification for at least a NFZ.
I think any WMD use would change the calculus for NATO. Putin using thermobarics and other massive/destructive non-WMDs is probably as far as he could go without drawing NATO in by using a WMD. Even if he does the false flag chemical attack as was reported yesterday, I think that would change the calculus.
That's how you define a "dove of peace"!
That's got a nicer ring to it than "mouth shitter" so, yeah absolutely.
Apologies to all, esp @RedDevilQuebecois for me being a fool. I've deleted the derailment my stupidity caused.
No media competence unfortunately. The technique outran their ability to adapt. Also it's easier to just stick with your opinion than admit you've been wrong all along. Admitting climate change in the end means that your generation caused it as a boomer. Probably the same with conspiracy theories and propaganda. If you've spent years telling your child that these internet media are lying and the state TV is the reliable source, pride is a huge obstacle I suppose.
How about "shitter of mouths"? That way it sounds more epic
I think CIA tried to train a cat with a listening implant to spy for them against Soviet diplomats, spending about $20 mil on it only for the cat to get hit by a random taxi during its first field mission. Both CIA & KGB had so many weird projects during the Cold War

Ah you have to admire a creative mind!

Indeed. Boomer leaders are very proud and stubborn also, almost to a rule.
I think it'll be much faster than that, the Ukrainian forces have done a great job but must be getting depleted now, it's unlikely they'll engage in prolonged urban warfare with massive damage to their own civilians. It's not going to be Stalingrad ver 2.0. Once the city is surrounded it'll fall quickly, maybe next weekend.
If they strap a bomb to me and I explode I'll be totally fine, right?
I don't agree with this thread, Putin at this stage of his life can't be negotiated with, only deterred. There will always be some idiot in Washington to come in with a new naive viewpoint. Putin himself has to create an off-ramp that he can live with, he won't listen to anyone in the West.
I don't know. The Ukrainian people have made it pretty clear they don't want to be conquered. They appear completely unified and their determination can only have grown as the atrocities of the Russian armed forces have gotten worse. You may be right, but I don't see it going down that easily for Putin.
The sneakiest sneak who ever sneaked
Ah I wouldn't have put a pin on me being an idiot if I was being sneaky, I just didn't want my stupidity confusing anyone but me.
fecking hell, that's genius but also bloody horrific.
Yep, street scenes look like an apocalypse and corpses are everywhere. The Russians won’t open a corridor there.
The intel suggests Russia is struggling to even hold their ground around Kharkiv and Kyiv. I don’t see that playing out.
Where are a few people getting the idea from that Ukraine has put up the resistance it has so far, and the West has implemented the sanctions it has, only for the Ukrainians to suddenly get cold feet and decide that a bit of Putin dictatorship would be the better part of valour? Maidan lasted longer than this, over three months, and that was entirely on the civilians. Russia will have to level major cities before people surrender.

The Russians don't have months, let alone years. In 3 - 4 weeks from now their cumulative casualties - killed, wounded, desertions, surrendered, captured - will be reaching catastrophic levels.
Fair enoughSo are we the Nazis now? I lose track.Denying people McDonalds and other consumerist tat is obviously more heinous than starving and freezing civilian populations to death.
We will look back and wonder how RT was allowed to be broadcast in the West until a week ago.
You’ve heard, “I’ve got gay friends”
You’ve heard, “I’ve got black friends”
Now you’ve heard, “I’ve got boomer friends”
I wonder what can be interpreted from this. Mass desertions and resignations within the FSB?
