Well, I thought highways were understood to be included in unprepared airstrips; but you are correct!
Read the thread. This was in response to a proposed Russian attack on airbases in Poland.
Okay, you win, again!
So, how come Russia ain’t wrapped this up yet?
Let’s hear the litany of excuses!

Were those aircraft are gonna be refueled?
A part from that Russia had long range radars than can spot those aircraft fast, those jets are not gonna last too long.
Ironically drones are their best option to help them resist for while, cheap, small, can fly from anywhere, easier to conceal and the lost of one is not as bigger deal as to lose an aircraft and a pilot, at least from a PR standpoint.
Yeah I have read the thread and it's what I see could happen. If they start flying fighters from other countries, it's a declaration of war more or less. Putin will clearly put a line on that. It's clearly dangerous to escalade the situation even more.
"IRL" the Ukrainian military HQ got levelled into oblivion, btw.
But yea, alleged text messages from random soldiers though, that's much more relevant.
I am not defending Putin or Russia in my post. I am only pointing out who is responsible for China and Europe's departure from one another. Those things I listed happened before Ukraine crisis.
Whether Russia pushed Europe into US hands means nothing to the already deteriorating relationship between China and Europe.
None of Chinese's business.
Nobody is seeing Putin as a tool. Not China at least. Maybe people in the US always see other people as merely a tool, but that is totally another world.
Putin made a call that Russia has no better choice. Today's Russia is not China with the economy clout who can influence things without shooting. Today's Russia is like China before 1990s, economically weak and militarily weak. If US encouraged Taiwan to seek formal independence back then, Deng Xiaoping would have made the very same decision as Putin did today, regardless the cost. Also remember China did "invade" Vietnam and got condemned by half of the world (all Europe east and west, most Americas except US and some Africans), call that error of judgement or ego or pride as you will.
No, only the US would be happy to capitalize on Russia's suffering. China won't. People don't capitalize on their ally's lose, at least not Chinese. Chinese step in to fill the vacancy left by EU to help Russia, but you may choose the word "happily capitalize" as you wish.
