October 31, 20223 yr I vehemently believe the West needs to give Russia an off-ramp away from this war. More so than before, Russia is showing grave signs of an incredibly irrational actor. I’m not sure how this would work but I’m worried that the West now smells blood and are systematically going for the proverbial kill. Don’t think these guys react well to being so cornered. The worst part of all of this is that an off-ramp presented itself several weeks ago with those sham elections. All Putin needed was to tell the Russian people that he gave the people of Eastern Ukraine a chance to join Russia and they democratically turned him down so he feels justified in leaving. He would have saved face and also ended the war. After all, his whole point in the military operation was ostensibly to "liberate” those folks. Now with Iran potentially joining the battlefield, this thing isn’t ramping down even with the Russian loses.

They wanted this war, they thought this war was in their interests. Now they feel like they have to win, as the alternative is accepting embarrassment on the world stage. Losing is untenable. Which is why they MUST lose.
October 31, 20223 yr Russia doesn't need an off-ramp. It's the Europeans who need an off-ramp. It's the parasites in London City preventing cooler heads from broaching a deal. The scum scuttled an agreement back in March, they blew up NSI/II, and now they've forced a cancellation of the grain deal. There's always a Brit at the bottom of a steaming pile of crap! The world is watching.

November 1, 20223 yr Russia could stay inside its own boarders. That way, they wouldn't expose their military leadership as morons, their equipment as missing, their troops as untrained dweebs, and their leader as a pathetic sack of fecal loaf.

An experienced fighter pilot in a "TX Course" transitioning from another fighter takes about 2 1/2 months. Once they get to their squadron it's generally a couple or several months past that before they're really competent in the aircraft, just as a wingman. In other words, it's not a short process. Then there's the maintenance structure and troops which would take even longer to set up in country. Finally there's the equipment itself. The F-15Cs the USAF currently operates and is retiring were built in the late 70s and early 80s. That was 40 to 50 years ago now. The last USAF F-16 was delivered in 2005, or 17 years ago and I don't see the U.S. military giving those up when they're feeling like they might need those airframes themselves to fly in combat against the Russians, Chinese or political incorrectness. I would argue what Ukraine is really interested in are the weapons those airframes carry, primarily the air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground PGMs more so than the aircraft.
