OS, have some faith… :)

I had in mind secretly. One thing I saw being suggested is to mount those Migs on trucks - and bring them in - but really, it should have been done before the war. The Russians will likely attack those trucks.

To be clear, I think all those belated shipments of weapons will only cause more bloodshed and more risk of escalation. The Russians will bring in more people and better (more brutal) weapons… they’ll fight harder. In the end it will still have to settle along the lines of the Minsk accords. The more the Russians bleed, the more they’ll want to get. If they’re serious about NATO in Ukraine being a huge threat to them (and they are) - they cannot afford to lose. From their POV that would simply mean an inevitable war at a later date.

They wanted to settle without a regime change. Zelensky should have taken it, but he wasn’t ready. Too many promises and weapons coming in. The dude believed Biden, believed Putin… he probably still believes in the power of the internet. He could be right - but not when a nuclear power fears for its survival.
