Who is pushing this Ukraine to self destruction? Have we exhausted all room room for dialogue?

Mumu, you didn't hear Russia has invaded their country?
The planes were in their airspace to bomb them. What would you do if your enemy's plane invaded your country?
Some of you will just wake up and post nonsense and, unfortunately, succeed in getting a few 'likes' from some other crazy fellows.

This is good news. But much of the country's defenses has been destroyed already.

Ukraine ought to have invested heavily in SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles). Same with Taiwan. You can't go head to head with a country like Russia or china through fighter aircrafts, but if you have a lot of Sams then good for you because enemy would lose a lot of its airforce.

You can't take out the Israeli military like this - which is also a defensive military. They have integrated five level of defences from iron beam (1), Iron dome (2) , David Sling n Barack 8 (3), Arrow11 (4), Arrow111 (5). The Israelis can crater anything that flies into their airspace from as low as 5 km to 2500km outerspace. They have air defenses laid from rooftops to those inserted inside the mountains.

This same model is what countries like Ukraine, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan ought to be using. Don't waste waste your money on fighter jets.

Mr Analyst:

You forgot to mention what your country should be using. Can prayer and fasting do it?

For the first time in my life, there is a threat of what many people have warned about...nuclear war.

Let's pray and hope it does not become reality.
That will not happen. Not even in a thousand years. Very certain!

South korae are well guilded by US THAAD and might request more, while Taiwan is building up more with Patriot defence system.

If you knock out russian air power, the zombie tankers can easily be neutralized by US javalins.

I just wished ukraine had the air defence system of Isreal kind, russia will think twice before attacking.

They both have nuclear arsenal.
Don't joke with someone who has nothing to lose in a fight.
From Kiev to Moscow is just about 10 minutes flight for missiles.
If Russia misbehaves, Ukraine will retaliate.
Both countries will lose tens of millions of their citizens.

They can get overwhelmed eventually. It's just like a boxer that assume a block and doesn't throw punches, opponents punches gets to him eventually and he gets overwhelmed.
A serious nation serious with its security and defence will invest in offensive weapons too, the most important being aircrafts. Israel is one example of such serious nation.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Putin is really crossing his bounds..
Russia does not view Ukraine as a country, Putin has stated this a few times. Russia views Ukraine as Russian, but like a little brother, very condescending to Ukrainians.

Also Putin is afraid of Ukraine, very afraid. if Ukraine becomes a successful free democratic country, Putin's lies will be exposed to all Russians. Putin has stated the West is as corrupt as Russia therefore Russians do not need to embrace Western world. yet Putin has nothing to offer his own citizens. to complain about Putin today will result in a fine or more... No one is allowed to speak out against anything the government does...

Yet Russians are asking why they cannot have free elections like in Ukraine...
This has nothing really to do about NATO as the group is a defense organization only..
Countries want to join NATO to protect themselves from invasion by Russia... why would they want to embrace a nation that seeks to subjugate all citizens to the Russia boot?

Russia does not try to offer anything of value to other nations so that they would like to be associated with Russia. well world dictators want to be associated with Russia, but citizens do not..
You see the difference?
NATO is defense ONLY according to you but they bombed Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan et al. Too much CNN and BBC. I forgot to mention Yugoslavia
