I would be highly skeptical of the results if since the split from the USSR that region in Ukraine has been anti-Russia but you can look at prior voting patterns in Ukraine for evidence. The Donbass and Crimea have always been pro-Russian strong holds, way before any conflict.

I don't know if the referendums were shams but it takes more faith to think all of the sudden that these people hate Russians and are leading insurgencies against Russians. There was a literal civil war in the Donbass for 8 years, Ukraine has shelled Donetsk continuously during that time and still do today really. You really think the locals there, that are getting shelled by Ukrainians, that have always voted pro-Russian that have the highest Russian ethnic populations out of all Ukraine that have been in a civil war with Ukraine are anti-Russian?

And experts argued that more sophisticated weapons such as the Patriot system and ATACMS are not as important to the coming fight as effective training, logistics and tactics. Patriot, for example, is a long-range, high-altitude missile system used against intercontinental ballistic missiles and high-flying jets. One Patriot will not be enough to defend Ukraine’s entire 500-kilometer front, Hertling said, stressing that it must be used in combination with mid-range and low-altitude air defenses.

You need to use an ar15, it is a weapon of war.

Clearly I'm not thinking this through. These are the same people who told us that the S300s that keep hitting the ground must be Russia retrofitting their GtA missiles to fire GtG because they're running out of missiles so badly
the solution is obvious
we can shoot down ICBMs by firing S300s at them in low earth orbit. Perhaps we'll retrofit the S3000s and equip them for satellite launch via elon musk, just strap them to some starlinks
