Selfishly, while my son is waiting out college applications. I hope Russians totally banned from attending school in the US. That would reduce the pool of competitors for the better schools

Maybe

I can only imagine NYC on 9/11 if the aircraft were still inbound and everyone knew they couldn't stop them.

I've heard things that say he's in over his head. I don't know what else he could have done. He might have had his people on a war footing earlier but then that would have given Putin his provocation. He's basically put his country on a cross for the World. Now the international community will be the Pieta.

get that joker out!

The popular will in Germany is behind Ukraine it appears

Basically, the airspace over the border is a conflict zone as of this. The US has multiple Global Hawk drones enroute...I think we have had them flying on constant basis along with our other manned surveillance aircraft since November.

Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) Back to Basics A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means. It states the abnormal status of a component of the National Airspace System (NAS) – not the normal status. NOTAMs indicate the real-time and abnormal status of the NAS impacting every user. NOTAMs concern the establishment, condition, or change of any facility, service, procedure or hazard in the NAS. NOTAMs have a unique language using special contractions to make communication more efficient.

This is a big deal

Good stuff

Wolf Blitzer asks the dumbest questions.

what the fuck is that idiot Dejoy doing to destroy the USPS? Why isn't he fired already?

This was in Mitt Romney's FB feed. He was saluting the Hill AFB F-35s enroute to Europe.

and yet if you want a WWIII this is where it will start.

So...

A couple products that should be sanctioned immediately Tula ammo Red Army ammo Wolf ammo Barnaul ammo We can at least slow down the killing of Americans on our streets with Russian ammo

Erdogan is not happy

Just reading about the Polish and Lithuanian leaders in Kiev today saying all manner of supportive things. Like...they sponsor Ukraine for EU membership. I can imagine their passion might lead to some danger. You can imagine the scenarios where Poland and others who are in the Hate Russia club might say they will fight with Ukraine and not just by proxy.

Love it

Wars can create the furnace that solidifies nationhood.

Not an outcome Putin's buddies like. Why did you create this business crisis for us Vladdie? We could do so much better with someone else.

This is a day old but still essentially accurate. I do believe that only Ukrainian battlefield success defined as survival as a force in being for as long as possible with a viable supply corridor to the West for more ammo, medical support etc. is what will eventually bring Putin down. As in end his regime.

This is a complete no duh. China Must Back Russia Over Ukraine for Support With Taiwan: Editor (businessinsider.com) China and Russia are not 100% allied but they are moving closer and closer to each other.

No kidding

I'm totally for Ukraine being in NATO if they are committed to the Rule of Law, a semblance of democracy, and will contribute to the common defense of the alliance.
