Bullshit. One pilot credited with the same number of kills as Ukraine claimed for the entire country that day? Not a chance.

I don't think anyone claimed Douglas Bader had single-handedly fought off the entire Luftwaffe.

This is a normal post No, but the overwhelming number of Russian planes provides more targets to be shot down.
That's the Battle of Britain principle I was alluding to.

I can believe that there's one Ukranian kid who spent their entire life playing dogfight sims and training to be a fighter pilot.

More targets, but also more opportunities to be shot down. A target-rich environment might seem a good thing until they start targeting you back.

This is a normal post Kiev is acceptable in English, unless you're some sort of Proper Noun Nazi.

This is a normal post To be fair though
if Putin had said he was going to sort out the way they spell things and get rid of metric in Ukraine the UK would have supported him.

This is a normal post You won't find 'Kiev' on a modern English language map, though.
- of course, now you're going go find one and go all nyur nyur nyur

This is a normal post Russia has air superiority...
...so there's far more Russian aircraft, and far less Ukrainians sneaking around picking off what they can.

This is a normal post Intresting Fact about Soviets and Ukranina Rsistance
according to Wikipedia by the late 1940s, the mortality rate for Soviet troops fighting Ukrainian insurgents in Western Ukraine was higher than the mortality rate for Soviet troops during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. They fought without foreign support until the mid 50s

This is a normal post the nazi einsatzgruppen had a lot of ukrainian help in the east
quite willing to assist their mass murder of undesirables, the ukrainians. Still, I reckon Stalin probably got rid of all the german aligned ukrainians during the 50s

This is a normal post Apparently, Ukraine has/had quite the problem with white supremacy/neo-nazi groups.
See: Azov Battalion. It seems that the Ukrainian government and law enforcement are largely in support of it all.
I'm sure birb will come steamrolling along at any moment to furiously berate me for spreading pro-Russian propaganda and school me on how Ukraine is actually a perfect East-European Nordic oasis of tolerance and acceptance. But let's be honest, it's not exactly the picture we've been getting at the border.

That's not to say that having a higher than average incidence of hate crime is justification for invasion by another nation with equally low (if not, lower) tolerance of people that look, speak, fuck or pray differently. But still, it's maybe important to realise that being bombed doesn't make you any less of a cunt. They *absolutely* don't deserve the bollocking they've been on the receiving end of. But it seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
