Sergeant, I hope you like vodka.
So, the talking heads are saying the fireworks could start at 9EST. SoS Blinken is confident that Russia will strike before the night is over. I'm over here wondering if anyone wants to wager this shit won't start at all |

I'm late to this party. What I saw and read today was indicating the "Russian Separatists" in the Ukraine asked Russia for "help," and that's the pretext they're supposedly going to use.
My question is, what if the Ukraine asked Europe/US/NATO for "help?" And we moved some troops into the country? Would Putin still go ahead? Just curious. I'm not as up on this as I should be. It's been a busy week trying to keep the power on at 0F. |

Rules say you have ADS B on when flying in Europe and a lot of other places and for the time being the aviation rules aren’t thrown out the window for US forces. If US Military aircraft were flying without ADS B on it’s a signal that the rules are out the window and gives the Russians a potential excuse to intercept or take some action against them. No “innocent” excuse for the Russians to take action against them if they are squawking and following the rules of aviation. It may seem like a load of horseshit given that some stuff has started to kick off but unless the US military is actually going to start engaging expect to see US aircraft continuing to show up ADS B. |
