So if you own a DJI and there is some old grass air strip nearby, you won't be able to fly. All drone operators have to be FAA licensed (pay a fee) & display their license number on their drone now. And if you are a commercial drone operator, there is special Pat 107 licensing for you. Commercial is anything including roof inspections, real estate pics etc. https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/ View Quote Not entirely true. Not all drone operators have to be licensed(still have to follow the rules though) hence why the Mavic Mini line up is a thing. |

Anybody remember this news story? It's dated October 21, 2014.
Polish parliamentary speaker Radoslaw Sikorski says that in 2008 Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to Poland's then-prime minister that they divide Ukraine between themselves. Sikorski, who until September served as foreign minister, told the U.S. "Politico" website that Putin made the proposal during Prime Minister Donald Tusk's visit to Moscow in 2008. Sikorski was quoted as saying in the interview, dated October 19, "He wanted us to become participants in this partition of Ukraine...This was one of the first things that Putin said to my prime minister, Donald Tusk, when he visited Moscow." According to Sikorski, who accompanied Tusk on his trip to Moscow, Tusk did not reply to Putin's suggestion. Following the annexation of Crimea in March, Russian parliamentary speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky sent a letter to the governments of Poland, Romania, and Hungary, proposing a joint division of the country.

But behind the scenes, the dictator is increasingly paranoid and fears that someone in his inner circle will poison him, a new report says. Daily Beast contributing editor Craig Copetas says he's been told that Putin has people tasting his food before he eats it and that last month, he replaced his entire personal staff of 1,000 people. "Laundresses, secretaries, cooks to a whole new group of people. The assessment from the intelligence community is that he's scared," Copetas said. Copetas says that the preferred method of assassination in Russia is poison. If someone does poison him, I hope they get it on video. |

Originally Posted By Zhukov: My thoughts about the whole "Nazis in the Azov battalion": I don't doubt that there were or even are some neo-Nazis. Whether they believe in Nazi ideology or just embrace the symbology is unclear. There are reports of neo-Nazis in the US armed forces and there have been many reports I've seen from German newspapers that the Wehrmacht currently has some issues too that have caused quite a scandal. Then we also have the avowed communist officer from West Point. To be clear: ANYONE who is spouting this extremist ideology is a threat to democracy and a lunatic. NO ONE should be defending these people. What is blurring the lines is people abusing the terms "Commie" and "Nazi". I've been in a bunch or vitriolic arguments here on Arfcom where a ton of people are throwing around the term "Commie" and applying it to anyone who deviates from their version of conservative orthodoxy. The left does the same by calling a bunch of us Nazis. It's all bullshit and created the conundrum we have now. Words mean things and if you start applying incorrect terms to people who don't fit the description, you are cheapening the meaning of the word. Know how outraged you get when someone calls you a "racist" even though you're not? Know how people now ignore when someone is labeled a racist because, more than likely, that person isn't? Same thing here. Start being more circumspect when you start lobbing labels at others you disagree with. View Quote I've noticed a strong tendency to try and label people these days who are strong patriots, people who believe in their national identity over anything else, as Nazi's rather than patriots or nationalist. That is the part that pisses me off. If you want to defend your peoples history, land, and culture, you are now a Nazi. |

We do not want to work with ships on their way to or from Russia, Russian goods or Russian-flagged or Russian-owned ships. For us, this means that we do not do any such tasks, says Erik Helgeson, vice chairman of the Swedish Port Workers' Union, to SVT. Two weeks ago, the union sent a letter to Minister of Infrastructure Tomas Eneroth (S) with a call for a stop to all Russian and Russian-connected ships from Swedish ports. But no message has yet come and on Thursday, the union will make a decision on a possible blockade. The Minister of Infrastructure tells SVT that the issue is being discussed internally within the EU, which must have a common position and does not want to give a date for a decision. The issue has recently been relevant in the port of Gvle, which received an oil tanker with aviation fuel that arrived from Russia last week. In the port of Sdertlje, however, another decision was made when a Russian ship was refused to dock, according to SVT. View Quote |
