If it was Russia alone facing the collective west, that might be a problem. But it isn't. It's Russia, China, India, and Saudi Arabia.
As it is, the collective west is being demilitarized and deindustrialzed. The west thinks it's going to bleed Russia, even as we're hemorrhaging money and weapons. This is a global war of attrition.
AFA striking Moscow. You think Russia wouldn't retaliate? How about seeing Kiev, or Warsaw, ot Brussels or London disappear? The west is traget-rich and defense-poor. It wouldn't take nuclear weapons, but a few well-placed hypersonic missiles would make mincemeat out of decision-makers

Ukraine Pivots To F-16 Fighter Jets Hours After Securing Tanks
The Ukrainian side is of course fully aware that its strategy to keep pressing the West for bigger and more advanced weapons at all costs is working. The aforementioned defense ministry adviser explained to Reuters further:
"They didn’t want to give us heavy artillery, then they did. They didn’t want to give us HIMARS systems, then they did. They didn’t want to give us tanks, now they’re giving us tanks," Sak said.
"If we get them, the advantages on the battlefield will be just immense," he added. "It’s not just F-16s: fourth generation aircraft, this is what we want."
And then this amazing, brazen admission: "Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get," Sak added.
What is the limiting principle at this point? Because all we ever hear is the robotic mantra, "whatever Ukraine needs." Next week they may claim to "need" a nuclear warhead...?

Oh Jeez. More wasted taxpayer dollars. At what point is Z going to ask for NATO soldiers so we can waste American lives too?
This is playing out like Vietnam

Quote:If this was Vietnam, the first thing JFK would have done is okay the "removal" of the Ukrainian President. JFK was shocked, shocked I tell you! when "removal" actually meant the assassination of South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem.

By the way, Signym, Ukraine asked for those F-16s a year ago. But unlike the South Vietnamese, the Ukrainians will use these machines as intended because, unlike the South Vietnamese, losing this war means the Ukrainians either die horribly or have to leave Ukraine. The South Vietnamese died by the millions, but they never acted like losing a war was the end of their country. The South Vietnamese figured that the North Vietnamese would show mercy. The Ukrainians know for a hard fact that Russia will show no mercy to Ukrainians. The Holodomor is remembered by Ukrainians even if Russians pretend to have never heard the word.

You forget, SECOND,a Ukrainian President was already removed. That's what started this whole thing.
Z's corrupt buddies have already died, been fired, or quit. And there's no need to remove him, since he's doing exactly what the neocons want: fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.

Beginning in May 2017, Yanukovych was tried in absentia for high treason and abetting Russian aggression against Ukraine. The trial included testimony from several senior Ukrainian officials, including Pres. Petro Poroshenko, and Yanukovych’s lawyers attempted to characterize the prosecution as a politically motivated stunt by Poroshenko’s administration. Poroshenko, in turn, painted Yanukovych as an instigator of “Russia’s hybrid war against Ukraine.” In January 2019 Yanukovych was found guilty of high treason and was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Yanukovych’s attorneys appealed the decision, although Yanukovych’s continued exile in Russia meant that it was extremely unlikely that Ukrainian authorities would have the opportunity to carry out the sentence.

Signym, you have made an error!
For future context: Viktor Yanukovych is the former Ukrainian president Putin reportedly wants to put back in power.
Putin has long described Yanukovych, 72, as Ukraine’s only legitimate president, and his false claim that the former president’s exit from power was the result of a Western-backed coup is central to the Kremlin narratives and efforts to justify the February invasion.
As Russian troops accumulated in the tens of thousands along Ukraine’s borders in December 2021, Moscow-friendly former leader Viktor Yanukovych was preparing for an offensive of his own – a bid to overturn, in court, the Ukrainian legislature’s decision that stripped him of his title and status as president in 2014.
Two months later, the Russian forces poured across the frontier, many of them pushing southward toward Kyiv in what was widely seen as an attempt to topple President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s government and secure the installation of a Moscow-friendly leader.
Media reports and other evidence suggest the Kremlin may have considered Yanukovych a candidate for that role. A journalistic probe by Schemes, the investigative unit of RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service, uncovered details about a pair of court cases that could have lent the fugitive ex-president’s appointment an air of legitimacy – on paper, at least, if not in the minds of millions of Ukrainians.
And while the Russian military’s march toward Kyiv failed spectacularly, the timing of the lawsuits and the judicial response to Yanukovych’s push for reinstatement raise persistent questions about the vulnerabilities of Ukraine’s court system to influence from abroad.
The court that ruled on both of Yanukovych’s suits, the Kyiv District Administrative Court (OASK), which handles suits against Ukrainian public institutions, has strong ties to the former president, who appointed its key judges during his 2010-14 term.
The judge who ruled on the first case, Ihor Kachura, served as a deputy minister of industrial policy during Yanukovych’s stint as prime minister in 2006-07; the judge who decided on his second case, OASK Deputy Chairman Yevhen Ablov, is a Yanukovych appointee.
Both Kachura and Ablov are among those accused in an indictment alleging “the creation of a criminal organization and abuse of power" that has been brought before an anti-corruption court by prosecutors. Four other OASK judges, including the chief, are also accused.
At no time did these factors prompt any public move to consider whether the fact that these judges were trying Yanukovych’s cases represented a conflict of interest.

Yeah, tried in absentia by a politicized court. Bullshit. Just like "Trump colluded with Russia" and I'm a Russian troll.
