interesting pic on that site of a Russian tank with sand bags piled on a platform over the turret. Appears to be makeshift attempt at Javelin defense.

the so-called Javelin cage has failed to protect the Russian tanks and raises the vehicle's profile significantly.  Its only value is to store equipment.

Germany being a co-belligerent with Ukraine (Rammstein, AFB) is the current issue.    If this worked, we should do it.

Good news that we have convinced UAE to turn their back on their Russian friends.   Blinken and company are putting in work.

And plenty of Javelins

This number is significantly higher than the testimony given to the House Intel Committee yesterday...

Spectacular!

But the chemical and biological weapons scare me. It sounds like Putin is ready and willing to use them. Against his Slavic brothers and sisters. And it will be 1000's and 1000's of kids that die at his hands. By way of chemical weapons.

How despicable. Contemptible mother fucker. Yup davaya mot.

Are chemical weapons a red line? What happens in regards to US and NATO foreign policy towards Russia if they do use them?

[1984Echoes]

I'm ready for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

I'm ready for NATO forces West of the Dnieper River (that includes Kiev, Kherson, Odessa, and Nikolaev, all currently under Russian control or fire... although I don't think they've really made a move on Odessa yet... just blockading them from the Black Sea...).

I'm ready for Polish MIG's to be given to Ukrainian forces (as well as Romanian MIG's), and for Patriot missiles in western Ukraine and to start shooting down Russian jets.

I'm ready for Ukrainian and NATO relief/ invasion (from NATO's/ Russian perspective) forces making a push to free up Mariupol from Russian shelling; which brings them past the entranceway into Crimea and on the edge of the Donbass. Direct combat with Russian artillery & other forces.

Wanna fuck with us Putin? Go for it. We'll react accordingly...

so... just try it.

(you know... "make my day").

But...

That's just me.

They ultimately weren't in Syria?

Here? They probably arent... having said that, past has not been prologue throughout this crisis, so who knows.

I think that you are probably correct.

I just am weary of being too definite on any statements at this point... actions have consistently exceeded the conventional wisdom every step of the way from the moment Russia invaded.

The Russian talking points appear to be taking shape about the CBW provocation.   Look no further than the assault on Jennifer Griffin on FNC.

Noted that the Russian propaganda trolls zeroed in on Victoria Nuland in this Jennifer Griffin thing.  She was specifically a villain to them during the O administration.  Deripaska said that she didn't like Russians in the infamous "nastya rybka" video.

I remember many youtube videos and rants about traitor Nuland from Ballmich. Sadly that's actually the first thing that came to mind when I heard her name resurfacing in the news lately.

I remember those days.   Our young friend Bunker doesn't seem as subtle as Bmich who appeared to have at least sampled reality before propagating racist foreign-generated nonsense. 

[romad1]

Yeah, US news reporting has really ossified around this "issue"

I'm not happy with high gas prices but, don't people know there is a war on? 

[romad1]

Oh, nice. Marina Butina landed where Anna Chapman ended up.   Red sparrows have a nice post-operation future.
