Something that provides a whole lot of modern context is realizing that America was France’s early “Proxy war”. They wanted to give Britain a hard time, and so they gave colonials weapons to do it. Both of us won out from that exchange.
The key part here is that France didn’t keep an iron stranglehold of us. It was enough to win us our freedom that we would want to be their buddies without being forced. Fun story for anyone who insists the US wants to control the Ukrainian government.
The assholes are bombing the reactor containment over the incident site they created originally, I am more than happy to ship all the bombs to Kyiv so they can walk into Moscow and hang the war criminal in charge
Not a bad idea. Some 22s logging training hours flying from Poland to Finland to visit our friends while the Lancers practice nighttime maneuvers out of Elmendorf would have Ivan shitting his pants as things start exploding from all around, one thing we do very well is long range logistics.

Pfft, I don’t want to control the Ukrainian government.
I just want Russia to suffer for their crimes.
We are not the same.

Nah, takes too long.
We should spring for express shipping, sure we have some air-launched cruise missiles we can mount to b-1bs to handle the logistics.
What we really need to do is send some f22s on ‘training maneuvers’, and be extremely surprised when random sukhoi start falling out of the sky.
