So many lives would have been saved if NATO did destroy russian air defenses in belarus and russia, and russian aircraft, right as the invasion started in earnest. Being cowardly didn't avert WW3, it only made it more likely to happen.

Zelensky noted NATO had done this before in Bosnia and northern Iraq, but Stoltenberg refused, saying it would require destroying Russian air-defence systems in Russia and Belarus and being prepared to shoot down Russian aircraft. This, he warned, would trigger direct war between NATO and Russia.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:
