(23,855 posts)I have no doubt that every significant country - not aligned with Russia or China - are working on a unified global strategy to neutralize Putin's conventional belligerence. He can continue to degrade his army and world opinion in Ukraine, but the Russian army is now exposed as the Potemkin Powerhouse that they are.

(20,867 posts)the narrative that president Biden should be doing more is a right wing talking point.
Air defense systems/missiles, drones, Javelins, and Stingers are needed more than planes.
The US isn't acting alone, it acts in unison with NATO.

He will be happy to lead a United Nations effort to fight Putin's Russia. Actually, it is the world against Putin now. And Putin loses every time. He done fucked up, totally.

(23,855 posts)Biden's Presidency might be known as a world game changer.
Funny how history and human nature gives us Biden's and Zelensky's to counter Putin's and Trump's.

(90,225 posts)... the story wrong because they're still in WWII type thinking.
Stingers made a difference in 1980 40 years later those things shoot from 1 miles away. Russia has those weapons too making close air support there near impossible.
They need anti artillery weapons to stop the shelling then the larger cities can sit it out with a protection dome like Israel has.

(58 posts)There was no reason to create such an elaborate 'Public' deal for those Migs.
The Ukrainan pilots could have gone to Poland and flown them out.
The Polish gov was setting up a deal that would have given Putin a reason to charge multiple NATO countrys with direct action against Russia. These kinds of deals are not done publicly.
Biden was right to refuse this. Putin is destroying himself, and he will ruin Russia on the way out.
