It's the extremes on both sides.
When you get to the far left and far right you often find people, for very different reasons, who side with Russia over the West and/or don't realise they are effectively siding with Russia they are so blinded by ideology.
Grossly simplified on the far left for instance there is a split between those who are anti-West in ideology especially against capitalism, etc. so naturally side with whoever is opposed to that and those who blindly believe that you can always come to a peaceful outcome if people just talk enough... (both are often duped by Russia without realising it).

Politics is a circle. Go far enough in either direction and you’ll reach The Looney Zone.
Might be lesser risk of them getting shot down by friendly fire
Exactly, extreme left or extreme right - they may take different routes getting there but they end up just as horrific.
You might be right, It looks like Sweden have said they cant meet Erdogan's demands.

You have been spend to much time on propaganda twitterit's ok for US to put a puppet in Ukraine as president and harm him with Nukes! God help all I would have world peace talks then going gun blazing with US cowboys
US put a puppet president in Ukraine and harm (is that armed?) him with Nukes! WTH are you talking about?
Why would China destroy all there manufacturing plants when it earn them money! And 85% of Taiwan is Chinese people! So China is going to invade their own people OK it make senses now! LOl, I hope China takes out US if it comes to it so we all can live in world peace at last
WTF? Where did I say China would destroy the fabs? I said Taiwan would if they were invaded or the US would if they hadn't been able to. I think its safe to say Taiwanese don't want to be part of mainland China, they are very happy with their democratic system.
Wow wanting China to take out the US and thinking that would bring world peace. I'm sure you'd love living under the rule of the CCP. Hong Kong certainly seem to be loving it.
Hmm...

Jeremy Corbyn may no longer be Labour leader but he’s still parroting the Kremlin’s lines. It seems like just yesterday the former Leader of the Opposition was accused of siding with Moscow over the Skripal poisonings, having suggested that Novichok samples from the Salisbury attack should be...

The A-10 are too slow to be effective given modern air defences and need 2 fighters as escorts, so 3 planes are being put at risk on any one mission
Doesn't really matter how fast your plane is vs modern air defence systems - you are always going to need to operate a plane which excels in that kind of role where you have air superiority if not supremacy (or able to project it for that mission).
(The alternative is being able to launch smart munitions from stand off range)

IMO it is long since time Ukraine had the capacity to strike against the origins of these strikes, in the early days it made sense to be more diplomatic but now things have moved on - if Russia launches missiles from ships in the Black Sea Ukraine should be able to bomb Sevastopol (the military installation) out of existence.

I don't think it really makes any difference what aircraft the west supplies. What Ukraine would relly need is a strike package capable of supressing the Russian Air defence, if they can't do this then whatever aircraft is supplied is going to find itself in a very dangerous enviroment that will limit its utility.
I really don't think NATO wil be willing to supply the EW assests that would be needed to accomplish the AD surpression mission.
It's no secret that the way the west would be fighting this would be to take out the AD and then drop precision weapons on anything of importance once the air has been secured.
This isnt the first time! His authenticity has been called into question a number of times, he was a bit of a laughing stock over the summer, but seemingly went quiet.
There are a few that do that, lot of big talk but little action or their camera "happened" to be off when whatever happened, etc. - I don't pay enough attention to them though to figure out who is or isn't genuine.
Ukraine scores a crucial IMF loan, following a last minute rule change.

So of course, the Indians are having a whinge.
I don't know how to explain to this idiot that the Ukraine and Sri Lanka situations are radically different.
