I'm not talking about Russia military versus Ukraine military. From what I read, some of the reddit volunteers had actual experience in the US military. But- fighting Russia is fundamentally different than when the US fought the Taliban. I don't think the US military is ready to fight on a level playing field against the Russians. They are used to things like fighting poor goat farmers in Third World countries. In no way am I denigrating the Afghans by saying that, their winning with limited resources only makes their victory more glorious, but there is a big difference in fighting the Russians.

I would like to mention that according to @Periplus and @alexander I work for the CIA. and then I also allegedly work for the Saudis. allegedly I work for China, CIA, "Israel," am Amhara and am also a shill for Geico car insurance. oh and I'm also allegedly both a nazi and a communist.

I am well aware that they are constrained by fraternal links with Ukraine and so couldn't conduct air to ground operations in the same manner, however, how is it that Ukraine still has jets and drones flying in the sky? No civilians would be hurt if those assets were neutralised.
It's not a "setback" if the Russians are unable to establish complete air dominance given the 10 to 1 ratio advantage between their respective Air Forces; it's not a "setback" when Russia is facing endemic logistical issues.
I think we can all get too carried with talking about the superiority or inferiority of an army during a war. The truth is war is unpredictable and a side that is at an advantage can quickly lose it or a side that is at a disadvantage can suddenly gain an advantage.

They still have jets? you mean the ghost of Kiev? I think the Russians have complete air superiority. I don't think that's even being disputed anymore.
disaster in which a goddamned farmer steal a well operating tank with his truck, that is a disaster. It is due to the logistic issues they are facing like 15 000 troops with all their tanks, vehicles and equipment are stuck because they run out of fuel, never to mention they are without food. If you went to a military training you would know the 15000 one right there are an easy target. NOW that is a disaster.
P.S This general went to these 15000 troops to solve the problem and got snipped and killed
all those stories could be as fake as the ghost of kiev and the snake island "f you, Russian warship" stories.
it is true I haven't had military training unlike all the social media commandos apparently but this guy is with the Indian armed forces and he is pretty convinced that it's basically hopeless for the Ukrainians.

I don't think it's known either way whether the out of fuel story is fake or not, although I think it certainly sounds fake but actually the fact that there is that massive convoy and it is able to peacefully make it's way or be at rest, whichever it is- that is actually just more evidence of how bad things are for the Ukrainian side.

No, I mean that Ukraine still has fixed wing aircraft in the sky in addition to the drones that have been targeting Russian columns.
I.... don't believe that and I don't think there's any evidence to back that. As I've mentioned before, the Ukraine side has been putting out a lot of fake stuff. I think the Russians have air superiority and whoever denies that is either uninformed or deliberately lying. I think they clearly have air superiority.
Yavoriv is where they just hit the redditors in an air strike. how are they doing air strikes that far in Western Ukraine if the Ukrainians still have any sort of air force? maybe they have some paper airplanes but I think it's clear that their air force has been decimated and that the Russians have air superiority.
Where are your sources for these Ukrainian aircraft? I'm willing to accept your claims about Turkish drones like Bayraktar being used against the Russian positions to some extent.

''Here, the base has just been destroyed, we're leaving. Among the dead are my friends, so we're running away from there. cries The base was destroyed. I need to get myself together. Here, the destroyed base, and it was also bombed there. Just now. Well, people say it's not true."
''Our base, where we signed a military contract with Ukraine, has just been destroyed. There were dozens of us, only we remained. There were hundreds of soldiers at this base, Americans. One hundred percent of someone is selling information about our database."

I just am absolutely convinced- there has to come a point where Europe splits and becomes divided into a pro-Moscow and a pro-Washington camp. If you're a proud European, are you really ready to die and see your country get decimated in a WW3 just so your country can continue as a US colony?
I am convinced this is the same thing as what happened in Afghanistan- when push really came to shove, the Afghan puppet government soldiers just weren't willing to fight. I think the same has to happen in Europe. I think the same has to happen in Europe- the pressure increases until things crack and Europe gets split along pro-Moscow and pro-Washington lines. To imagine any other outcome- to me it seems as believable as triangles having four corners.
