"Topsy-turvy" Indeed. Take this one: "Russia is a state that cannot be defeated in Ukraine because, if humiliated..." Nothing wrong with the argument but Mason ignores the reality that its not Russia that's at threat of defeat: it's NATO and the west. Consequently the serious danger would be expected to come from its control of nukes. Likewise with the F16's. I'm no armchair bomb fetishist but its basic stuff. According to those who have flown them, because of the positioning of the air intake they can't actually be used on anything other pristine runways: of which Ukraine has none. So...apart from having to take off in some other country which means some stupid gullible NATO country has to effectively declare war on Russia to get them skyborne...these things were also designed half a century ago...mostly built forty years ago therefore NATO would in fact be pitting these dated: essentially "vintage" aircraft against what all experts unanimously agree is the most advanced and modern air defense system in the world...but of course as he says: "Russia is losing strategically." ??? Jeez. -Its incoherent. There's just no rationality in these people...no logic, no understanding of basic fact or evidence: their own "strategy" is whole blue-sky wishful thinking.
