I've seen a video of MANPADS shoot down one.
Peace can be had tomorrow. All Russia has to do is withdraw all its troops from it neighboring sovereign country's soil that they invaded.
Why should Ukraine accept anything less than that?
Would you? If Russia invaded Alaska, would you claim we should just negotiate a peace at any price and let them keep Alaska so they don't get mad?
Peace in our time?
The only thing holding up Ukraine is America and its tax payers. They are printing money to keep it afloat while raising interest rates on Americans. Ukraine wasn't any less corrupt than Russia. How about Ukraine stop being corrupted with American business owners and doing shady bellybutton crap with companies like MetaBiota. Remember, the real quid pro quo was stopping the investigations into Hunters son. Now that these companies are no longer being investigated due to corruption, Putin had no other choice but to take them out and take back what he believes Is Russias land.
Putin gave them 8 years of warnings. They thought they could do whatever they wanted. They thought wrong, and now are paying the consequences. Ukraine isn't anymore an American country than Russian country.
Hey real quick, why was Ukraines Head of Armed forces wearing a Swastika Bracelet?
