Now... MiG-21s are OLD AF and not known for being the safest aircraft in the world. But a follow-up tweet says a Puma rescue helicopter sent to investigate also disappeared.
No jumping to conclusions.... could be just accidents, could even be overzealous Ukrainians. BUT, the patrol location was within Romainian airspace. According to what these folks are reporting. Again... fog or war and many, many rumors, so take with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Well, she's not, really. Tons of war equipment and millions of dollars are being pumped to them. But, they need fighters. I am also very angry over the fact that Putin can trot out his nukes and threaten the whole world. I don't pretend to know what is the best strategy in dealing with this. I'll say it: someone has to kill Putin. Might not be the best way, but it might be the only way. Putin is a modern day Hitler figure.

Where does it end if you give into such a bully.
Yes he is just like Hitler.
I guess we have to be patient. Even FDR had to wait for Pearl Harbor.
Yes taking out Putin is an idea. Might avoid WWIII?
But the question is how do we do it?
