Ukraine, Russia, and the West

This is a list of visually confirmed losses and currently stands at 13 aircraft and 33 helicopters.

NYT newsletter this morning:

The Ukrainian military yesterday claimed to have shot down 10 Russian planes and cruise missiles.

Two claimed intercepted cruise missiles were part of the Lviv strike.

  • it’s pro 2nd amendment basically; citizen take up arms against oppressors and it works

For what Russia is doing to Mariupol now - you have to go back to the Allies firebombing Dresden, or the US firebombing Tokyo or nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I’ve been thinking about what we did in WWII a lot lately - wiping out civilians to effectuate a surrender. You can always justify it by saying it saved American lives. But Putin can say the same now.

Pre invasion Ukrainians were worried about the possibility of nightclubs being closed early in Kiev.
