  1. "Real freedom" - like the freedom to be able to speak your own language?

  2. So, Ukrainian pilots are not able to compete using the same jets that the Russian pilots use? Do F16s have an anti-collision device to prevent a repeat of the three stooges?

  3. Though I am aware of a number of technical failures which caused aircraft crashes (though not on training exercises), I am not aware of any occasions of Russian pilots crashing into each other. Are you? @grahambaker6664

  4. That shows how ignorant you are! The people of Donbas are ethnic Russians. Russian is their native language, because they grew up in Russia. The area was given to Ukraine during the break-up of the Soviet Union in the early '90s. Why should these people be banned from speaking the language they grew up with. Zelensky himself grew up speaking Russian. Even now his Ukrainian is not very good!  @anacc3257

  5. So, in Mariupol, if a shopkeeper greeted a customer in Russian instead of Ukrainian, they would receive a fine. One Mariupol journalist, who refused to print his publication in Ukrainian rather than Russian, was abducted by the SBU. A week later, his head was found in the forest nearby! Priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who conduct services in Russian face persecution and arrest by the SBU. "Church services should only be held in one language: Ukrainian." That says Mykhailo Podolyak, the advisor of the Ukrainian President Zelensky. And YOU believe there is nothing wrong with this? @bonnie7898

  6. Which languages are denied in the Russian Federation? As I have detailed in my other posts, and contrary to your statement, residents in (eastern) Ukraine (which have since chosen to join the Russian Federation), were indeed denied that freedom! @grahambaker6664
