Russia experiencing the full weight of US air power would be an exceedingly unpleasant experience for them.
Putin would be on the phone after a week begging for it to stop.
Bud, they will let Ukraine collapse before they attack the Russian directly.
And they are more than welcome to use direct ‘US airpower’ against the Russians anytime they want. I wonder why they haven’t done so yet?
I mean we’re talking about the same country that is too chicken to put boots on the ground in Yemen despite their ships getting attacked daily in the Red Sea by the Houthi’s.
Try winning a war against an actual military with planes, tanks, and boats first before talking tough. We all saw how useless ‘US Airpower’ was in Afghanistan.
When the US invaded Iraq the Iraqi Air Force was roughly the same size as Ukraine’s in 2022 and Iraq had twice as many tanks. The US annihilated them in six weeks, with almost no casualties. Russia has been trying to defeat Ukraine for two years and has lost half the territory it took in the initial invasion while suffering hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded.Bud, they will let Ukraine collapse before they attack the Russian directly.

Wait I thought your back ground story was you pretending to be a US citizen. I think you need to read the script again.Bud, they will let Ukraine collapse before they attack the Russian directly.

I know you desperately want Russia to be a military peer to the US but the proof is in the pudding. You have no chance and you know it.

A court in Russia’s Siberian region of Yakutia sentenced him to 11 years in a maximum-security prison. So when recruiters from the private Wagner mercenary group offered him freedom and a clean slate if he deployed to fight in Ukraine, Mr. Savvinov, a morgue orderly, seized the opportunity.
By February, Mr. Savvinov had completed his service and was back in his native village of Kutana. That month, on Defenders of the Fatherland Day, he was staggering drunk around the snowy streets, residents said, complaining loudly that villagers showed him insufficient respect as a veteran. The next night, he murderedtwo of them, according to a law enforcement report, striking a male drinking buddy dead with a metal crowbar before killing his own estranged aunt, who lived next door, by axing her in the head, and then torching her wooden house.
Russia’s practice of recruiting convicts has been the backbone of its success in Ukraine, providing an overwhelming manpower advantage in the war. But it is backfiring in tragic ways as inmates pardoned for serving in Ukraine return to Russia and commit new crimes.
Why do we need a chemical warfare program?Where is our chemical warfare program?
WTF are we doing?
- Our enemies have them.
- Our enemies use them.
Russian troops are carrying out “systematic” chemical weapons attacks on Ukrainian troops across the frontline - The Telegraph
To strike the Russians.Why do we need a chemical warfare program?
Chemical weapons are primarily useful when you don’t have the battlefield advantage. We wouldn’t use them because they would slow our troops down.To strike the Russians.
Fire begets fire. Russians are using chemical weapons, Ukraine must be supplied in equal measure.
Maybe a bit of an armor availability problem right now…
I was sad to see the other orcs appeared to survive.Maybe a bit of an armor availability problem right now…
Normalizing and expanding the use of chemical weapons is a bad thing. Also, Ukraine would just be potentially poising themselves - presumably, they want their land back, not tainted for the next half century because they decided to use chemical weapons.To strike the Russians.

The reason Russia is using them (IMO) is because they are incapable of serious maneuver warfare and they (correctly) think Ukraine will not retaliate due to western sensibilities.Normalizing and expanding the use of chemical weapons is a bad thing.

Maybe I just don't understand warfare but how do people survive an explosion like that?
Hmm, didn’t Russia do that once b/4? *checks notes*. Oh yeah, funding the Cold War and then, on top of that, their war in Afghanistan. That all ended so well for Russia.Meanwhile Russia is getting poorer, while devoting larger portions of what it does have to prop up it's crumbling military. Good times.
