This whole fucking tragedy would have been avoided if Ukrainian leadership had the common sense to stay neutral and if they didn't play along with NATO's attempt to use Ukraine as a bargaining chip against Russia.

By the same token, America is extremely well prepared for the mission of SAM suppression.
