Because they are scared of Putin firing nukes. Also training an air force takes alot of time and money, only USA and China can really do it tbh.

- amelius 1y ago> Because they are scared of Putin firing nukes. I think the only reason to be scared of Putin firing nukes is if he or the existence of Russia was threatened in some way. But he can stop this war any time he likes.
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoAnd what a good strategy be like?
- amelius 1y agoMaking Putin understand that this war leads him nowhere, without going as far as threatening the existence of Russia. This means US/NATO planes above Ukraine are OK, but not above Russia.
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoAnd those planes should do what over Ukraine?
- amelius 1y agoPut simply, bomb enemy ground forces.
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoAha, US/NATO jets bombing Russians. Sure, seems like a solid plan.
- amelius 1y ago* Russians invading Ukraine.
- anovikov 1y agoGood strategy is to just wear down till they run out of people able to fight. Ukraine is at about 10% of the way there. It won't take all that long - in any case, if Ukraine is to be defeated it will happen for demographic reasons (lack of births due to female emigration and men ageing out of service), not through combat attrition. ~20 years down the road when it happens, Russia will be so demographically weakened through it's losses it won't be of much threat to anyone.
- amelius 1y agoIt is a good strategy only if you don't think about the lives lost.
