Key Ukrainian port city of Mariupol "near to a humanitarian catastrophe" on Wednesday after more than 15 hours of continuous bombardment by Russian forces, deputy mayor tells the BBC

I believe this to be utter bullshit by the West.....

For the last 10 years all we hear is how planes like the F22 and F35 cannot be touched by anything. Putting in a no-fly zone with their hardware should not be as big a challenge as they say. Especially with how hyped they are with their untouchable equipment.

So it's ok for the West to wage brutal economic warfare without worrying about retaliation.

It's ok for the West to send lethal weapons.

It's ok for the Western civilians to join the foreign legion in Ukraine to fight for Ukraine using the weapons they have supplied.

BUT for some reason risking their pilots is just to much risk for them?

"Hi my name is GI Joe, I am here to fight. Oh and I brought my own personal F35 from home, is it ok if I put a Ukraine flag on it and use it?"

Stop gaslighting, stop saying you stand with Ukraine, but really only to a point. It's ok for a Ukrainian teenager to die from a missile strike from an SU35, but a big tough Western Military Man can't be risked?

FFS do something to save the innocent people.

Zelenskyy is rich, Putin is rich, Biden and all these EU leaders are rich. The innocent people of Ukraine are not. This will affect them for a lot longer then any of us.

Sorry for the rant, I am just tired of watching these people die while rich leaders craw around trying to act like they are hero's with Ukraine when they are not.
