Great question. Why is NATO and the US administration allowing a genocide of Ukrainians?

I guess this crap doesn't work as advertised. 

half of the missiles Russia launched were shot down. 

no defense system is 100%. and Russia is launching missiles across Ukraine, I doubt Ukraine has enough to cover everywhere.

The best US defense system was covering Kyiv. NATO aircraft would have helped to take down more missiles. Face it, it's time to bring in NATO. Russia may have decided to wage an actual war.

Take a look at the horrific pictures and videos. "Half" shot down isn't cutting it. Bring in NATO to stop the war.

Not gunna happen, anytime soon.  This is basically the definition of a proxy war.  Not sure why you would wish for nuclear war? 

Blowing up a bridge = attack on civilian targets, which was expected. 

A dozen countries armed forces actively fighting Russia on Russia's doorstep = nukes freely getting lobbed back and forth, which is 100% certain.  That's no a stop to the war, it's an extreme escalation with potential for millions, if not billions to die.  A crazed cornered animal lashes out at everyone/everything

Russia won't stop until they are made to stop. 

Besides, Russia doesn't want to start a nuclear war.

reports that UKR Pres. Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed that Ukraine has deployed NASAMS air defense systems.

Gee, it's like all sides lie about everything in this war.

Sounds a lot like Russia trying to downplay the blowback from threatening to use Nukes.

Just look at the reaction from within Russia, to the bridge attack.  They whined like little babies and called it a terrorist act, while THEY are targeting civilians daily, raping, torturing, etc...   They can dish it out, but they can't take it.  Park a dozen enemy armies on their doorstep, or even inside what they now consider Russian territory, and you've all but forced Vlad to push the button.   

The man is a psychopath and they don't understand reason. 

The best bet for an end is an internal Russian action to stop Vlad, as thousands and thousands of more ill-equiped Russian fodder soldiers go into the meatgrinder.

Kyiv is, however, slated to receive two Raytheon-made National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems by November, Defense Department officials have said. The systems can knock down drones, missiles and helicopters — which is just what Ukraine is looking for.

Yet there are worries that those systems, along with six more slated to be contracted and delivered in the future, won’t arrive quickly enough to give Ukraine the air cover it needs.

The first two NASAMS this fall "are not sufficient air defense,” said one Ukrainian adviser who asked to speak anonymously to discuss arms deliveries. "We’re not talking Stingers here. We’re talking about something that has mid-range and higher ranges.”

It will likely take time for those weapons to arrive. Western countries are reluctant to give up their own advanced missile defense capabilities. Plus, contracting, building and training crews on how to operate them takes years.

So NATO left Ukraine's capitol city with no air defenses. Maybe that's why you don't want NATO to take down Russia?

I'd love to see NATO take down Russia.

But that's probably not a smart play. Better to have Ukraine fight the war with NATO weapons. 

I imagine in the wake of these increased attacks on civilians by the terrorists in Moscow that missile air defense systems will be expedited.

You really are fing retarded. 

The problem with western air defenses is that there's a lack of production capacity. Over the last two decades of fighting COIN, we haven't needed anti air capabilities so they weren't developed and purchased. Which is utterly dumb because anyone with two brain cells stuck together could see the writing on the wall about having to face a near peer adversary, coupled with the fact that US anti air doctrine is planes doing the work instead of SAM sites. The one country who knows what they're doing on this is Israel, and they aren't sharing anything to anyone for security reasons. 

So yeah. I think this has to do with the Russian's new theater commander, who just got the job Saturday. He's trying to make a statement that will backfire.

Not to mention Western doctrine is more about air superiority rather than needing land based air defense, like Russian that, even before we saw how poorly their air force was during this war, was vastly behind NATO air dominance.

"I’m greatly concerned. Unless we have new production, which takes months to ramp up, we’re not going to have the ability to supply the Ukrainians,” Des Roches told CNBC.

Putin could just rope-a-dope until the weapons run out or the US can get on a war footing and ramp up production.

This indicated a shift from the SMO to a combined arms war. The strategic objectives have changed. 

Now that Bakhmut is nearly liberated, the heavily fortified defenses of the occupying regime are almost completely demilitarized from Donbas.

Grab a chair, NATO freaks.

Right. Brag about taking an abandoned hamlet in the middle of nowhere but a fortified city of 100,000 is no big deal.

That's how you win a media war but get slaughtered in real combat.

Russia has spent what, 2 mos on Bakhmut? 

They've committed their best troops to a single town, where Ukrainian defenders have been tremendous in occupying this force while all around them Ukrainians make progress. 

By the time they get Bakhmut they'll be in crap shape while the Ukrainian defenders will have an easy path to retreat.

 

Another pyrrhic victory for the RuAF while Ukraine continues to take back territory elsewhere at a much faster pace.

But why would Lukashenko lie about something like that??? I don't understand why he would lie!
