For sure Fuagf, both things are true at the same time but particularly where one wants to put the emphasis.
My emphasis, I used "token" out of sadness. Sad, how long it is taking to contain Putin and protect the Ukrainian people. Hundreds of thousand are dead and the next months look like more of the same.
There can be no "lethal blow" to Russia as well. Has to be a long drawn out and incremental war of attrition - ie; terrible outlook.
Do you think if Ukraine/Da West wiped out the whole fleet of those new fancy long range (and nuclear capable) planes one of which Putin Was riding around in yesterday - that Kiev wouldn't be flattened like Hiroshima?.
