Russian invasion of Ukraine

Part of me doesn’t think it would a bad play to accept as I’m not sure how Putin would sell it back home, the destruction or the amount of russian soldiers lost or that he’s allowing a “drug addled neo nazi” to stay in charge, let alone the impact on the domestic economy which will take a while now to recover.

Could well be the least bloody potential way to regime change. Anything is a risk right now though.
Good post MB.
Putin is known for his spin and suppression of the truth.
I do think whatever the outcome there will be a sea of change in the world and hope it’s one without that fucking loon.
Removal from within maybe ?
 
Here's a quote when the story broke March 1:

Sixteen MiG-29 planes and 14 SU-25s could be provided by Bulgaria. Poland will send 28 MiG-29 warplanes, and Slovakia can deliver 12 MiG-29 planes, the officials stated.
Think it's only the Polish MIGs so far. Poland getting F35s in a year or two. They are a serious fighter planes, different gravy to anything else in the air.
 
The comparison between the two isn’t helpful. That’s not “up to me.” That’s literally just logic. The OP is correct. The PROBLEM is that “people can read into it what they want.” That’s what makes the figures illogical to compare.

This isn't 'literally just logic', it isn't logic at all. I know one is capital the other is revenue, but so what? It's a sum of money. There is no reason logical or otherwise why one cant be used as a measure that helps in conceptualising the other.

10% of the GDP of a major industrialised G7 nation is a fuckton of money. I find it a useful yardstick to compare the scale of Russian investment in the UK to our GDP. You may not but that's up to you.

Indeed even the 2 the RAF sent to Estonia could probably adequately defend against the all the su variants Russia could send
