          Like 20% of the population will always support whoever is in power, another 10% will unless everyone is actively dying where they live, and then 30%-40% don’t care enough about politics to do wrongspeak. I don’t know what poll you’re looking at, but any additional percent is probably related to who’s doing the polling. Maybe 2% is there that actually supports it out of genuine independent thought, and even that I doubt because it’s just an objectively stupid war.

          TL;DR we’re all just humans, and your countrymen would too in the same situation.

        Have you seen russian first aid? (Nsfl)

        Russians are, lets say unique. Always has been. There are attitudes in the Russian population that are cultural conflicting with peaceful societies. Dont excuse this campaign by blaming it on one individual. He has support.

        I mean, past 1800 AD or so they were all degrees of shit everywhere agriculturalised. I don’t have any reason to expect Feodor I was noticeably worse than Elizabeth I.

      Ukraine has stated they need 150-200 of them and I believe this commitment plus those from Denmark and the Netherlands will get them near 100.

      If they’ve already had their most advanced pieces of hardware pulled out, its doubtful. Nevermind finding someone to actually pilot the damned things.

      What Ukraine needs more than anything right now is more young professionals capable of operating the hardware of war. What they’re getting is a military garage sale.
