You need to get out more. Try some African,Asian and Latin American English speaking social media platforms. The West is a small part of the World and most of the rest have experience of the "American way" and don't like it.

Just like you it seems. Have you set up your anti-American thread yet? You can hear yourself talk more and completely be unbiased on the subject. Hopefully, you can reach out to the similar minded. It will do your mental state wonders.

Sorry for my confusion but I’m still not clear why Russia don’t have anything close to air superiority throughout this campaign - any articles that you can recall that explain the backstory on what happened or is it the same story of corruption/overestimation of capability/ lack of training/maintenance ?

In short they do have it, but due to most if their armament not being guided they have to fly low altitude to hit targets accurately bringing them into range of the hand held anti aircraft stuff meaning it's very risky.

I'm not anti US just anti hypocrisy. Anyone found those Iraqi WMDs yet?
Invasion of a sovereign state... don't make me laugh.

There’s some chatter on the web about a Uke attack on airfield in Russia (Shaykivka) using kamikaze drones. Says they destroyed two TU-22M’s.

Nothing verified as yet. Have our Russian friends heard anything? Crazy if true.

If you mean Shaikovka airbase, then the reports are a Uke drone was shot down on its attack approach and exploded over several planes causing no significant damage

No they don’t. They aren’t able to conduct flying ops without prohibitive interference from opposing forces.

Therefore they do not have air superiority by definition.

That’s the one. Bit worrying having a Uke drone getting all the way to the airbase?

It's approx around 200km from the edge of Ukraine territory, assuming it flew through two NATO countries airspace on route

The choice of target is very unlikely to be a coincidence, the Kaluga region where the airbase is, is pretty much the nuclear power heart of Russia, multiple atomic plants in the region which effectively supplies Moscow - first nuclear plant in the world was built there in the 50s.

That's a very provocative region to suddenly strike

You aren't being serious,tell the Iraqis Afghanis and Libyans that,they may disagree.

Did we move the borders? There's a difference between regime change and forcibly redrawing the lines on the map.

Now, if you want to argue that policies of regime change by force don't work, I would agree that the track record isn't great. For every Guatemala we successfully knock over with relative ease, there's an Afghanistan where the intervention doesn't work out so well. Even in the case of Guatemala, the results were civil war, atrocities by US-backed government and general hatred of the US all across Latin America.
