I'm sure during WW1 and the Spanish Flu people said the same thing. I'm sure during WW2 people said the same thing. These are only a few examples. Stop your fear mongering. I say this as a Christian too. Tell your protestant pastor the same thing and stop giving him the "tithe" since it's the end and you'll see how fast they change their tune.

Ukrainians and world peace NEED Russia to win in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is bigger than Russia and Ukraine. It's a proxy war between a corrupt and inhumane NATO-US alliance (whose masters are the global banking system which enslaves people and countries) against the fast-growing BRICS countries who stand for countries sovereignty and individual freedom with a fair banking and financial system. Russia happens to be a leader in BRICS and that makes it the enemy of our globalist enslaving system (WEF, Bank for International Settlements, IMF... ). They control Western media, our finances, our politicians and our institutions, all the way to the Supreme Court. BRICS is the answer. BRICS is the kryptonite to the enslaving globalist agenda of human enslavement. So the goal becomes to weaken Russia to break BRICS but it is failing: Russia is winning. Russia is stronger than ever before. Russia single-handedly defeated a US-NATO alliance. This war is over. Prolonging it only causes more death on both side and more territories losses for Ukraine. Russia is producing more ammunition and equipment a month than the entire US-NATO group does in a year. Let that sink in. Russia is also is mobilizing ten times more VOLUNTEERS a month (not kidnapping them like in Ukraine or having) than the entire US-NATO alliance, while recruit numbers have been falling for US-NATO (nobody wants to fight and dies while on the wrong side of history).We are on the wrong side of history when we give more money for Ukraine to prolong its suffering, more money for Israel to keep its genocide going in Gaza, more money for Taiwan so they antagonize China. The day you understand that our Western institutions have been infiltrated and compromised by entities who DO NOT have the best interest of humanity at heart, is the day your start understanding geopolitics. Your kids, my kids, our kids will be grateful for Russia and BRICS to win against a demonic and enslaving globalist agenda and its US-NATO arm.

If it is ground targets like tanks and enemy troops that is the main objective? An A10 is more or less a tank in the air, and do not go up in flames of small arms fire. While the F16 is another story.. 75% F16's and 25% warthogs would be of more use for Ukraine if you ask me..

I think it's short sighted to see the shooting of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico purely in the light of the Ukrainian conflict and/or a pro-russian stance. Although Juraj Cintula, the man who shot him was reportedly pro-russian, there were plenty of other motives he may have had for the shooting - I won't say assassination attempt, as he allegedly states that was not his intent. He had protested Fico's election before and held widely differing views, the pro-russian anti Ukrainian stance may have actually been the only thing they agreed on.
