All they need to do is tell Russia they're going in to load up and remove all those civilians, and that if Russia tries to shoot down our plane, we're going to unleash the devil on them from every direction.

We can remove these civilians in one swoop with a plane that big, and someone needs to do that right away!! These folks have been without almost any food and water and electricity for weeks. They are sitting ducks, and someone needs to save them!

That would be interesting.

We need to do SOMETHING to get those civilians freed from their underground tomb-to-be.

I can't imagine that there's a runway within 50 miles of Mariupol that hasn't been reduced to rubble. I don't know where in the area a Globemaster could land.

of all they are doing to help Ukraine. Ukraine has way more weapons fighters intelligence and support than is revealed.
