Maybe we can get some advice from the ArchBishop?
Why Russia is having a difficult time in Ukraine, aka Where's the air force?

Putin and Xi dont see Russia as the aggressor, Russia has been trying to solve the problem of NATO aggression non violently for almost 20 years, the West sneered at them. .
Of course not. They're authoritarian assholes robbing their own citizens blind...and assholes like you support them against the United States and the West in general.
You are such a liar.

Why do we still have normal diplomatic relations with Russia?
What's the upside to it?
Shouldn't we just let them hang out to dry?
And why don't we have them with Taiwan?
Do you think the PRC will actually turn its back on its biggest customer? I don't.
There's normal commercial air transportation between the two countries, but they won't acknowledge one another.

You look insane when you think Putin and Xi are the victims here.
Not the first time an insane person has blamed me for their errors.
Insane people are not right anywhere near as often as I am.
Dude, you're a delusional drunk. You only think you're right.
Bull Shit.
One theory is that Putin is afraid to fly many of his best pilots, for fear they will defect. I am not sure I believe that. Most pilots have family at home, so would not defect. Even younger pilots have parents and siblings.
More believable to me is that Putin is afraid to lose planes and pilots in this war. This is the first war at this level fought in over 70 years, and no one really knows how it will turn out. There is a real chance that there is a wonder weapon that will be supplied to Ukraine, that could wipe out the Russian air force. Putin does not need victory, so why risk complete defeat. He just wants to destroy the Ukrainian economy, which he is doing.
I doubt a foreign, non-violent protest movement would do much against directly against Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
But undoubtably the Black civil rights movement, and American Black culture has been an inspiration to the color revolutions. Most have used Public Enemy's Fight the Power as one of their theme songs.
This problem is best resolved by the Russian people taking back their country from a dictator.
This war does not benefit the Russian people, and so if it were up to them, it would not exist.
Then they need to grow a spine and do something about it.
True that.
It's illegal in Russia to call Ukraine a "war". It's illegal to protest it. Mothers are asking where their sons are. As the body bags pile up and/or Russian soldiers disappear, never to be seen again, Putin is going to face problems worse than LBJ did in 1968.
