    I'm surprised they have waited that long.  In my eyes if I'm at war with a country and you send him weapons.  You become my enemy.  That should have been a day 1 thing even if it was an empty threat.  Even providing Ukraine with Intel is an act of war.  We are playing that annoying ass game of I'm not touching you.  If Russia bombs a NATO convoy they have every right to.  

    I’d imagine many of the NOTO commanders are hoping they will do just that

    Yea this is what has me slightly worried. Rubio’s last few tweets are not optimal. 
     

    Having gone three days without power last year I don’t need a cyber attack or EMP in 2022. 

    I really don’t think Putin wants a direct confrontation with us. That would be an unequivocal act of war

    Anyone who thinks Putin would never use a tactical nuke is a fool.

    Of course he might. We can’t let him dictate the actions of the rest of the world based on that threat

    In a massive development, the EU says that it will donate fighters to Ukraine.  AFP confirms. Still waiting to see how this works and if this is “ now” or if it is “if you’re a country later.”

    How it could work: Poland flys MiG-29s as does Slovakia, Slovakia is waiting for new F-16 block 70s.  Bulgaria flies Su-25s.  Other Allies would pick up their air defense. 
     

    Before anyone asks- no, it’s no use putting a Ukrainian trained on a MiG in a Eurofighter.

     

    That’s ok the MiG can do a 4G negative dive

    This is what makes this so maddening. Either they have absolutely no clue about the readiness of their own military, which is starting to become the prevalent view, or they are only marshaling a fraction for some reason.

    If they have no idea about their own preparedness, is this because the military lied, or the military just didn't know or did Putin not care?

    Hell, say we are accepting that they are limited in their ability to provide blanket devastating airpower, where is the beloved Russian Artillery..

    The overall strategy has been confusing to put it nicely.

     

     

    Think of how their military leaders advanced. It’s not rocket science.

    They have enough air power to completely saturated the current front in a way that anything that could be perceived as a potential slowdown to thier advance could be bombed to oblivion.

    Clearly they don’t. I think they are near the limits of their forward capability and the potential of lost air support assets at this point jeopardizes their ability to protect themselves domestically. Really hard to believe but the only plausible explanation

    Document apparently bears Putin’s signature 
     
    Quote

    They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.

    Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.

    By this point Trump was the frontrunner in the Republican party’s nomination race. A report prepared by Putin’s expert department recommended Moscow use “all possible force” to ensure a Trump victory.

    Western intelligence agencies are understood to have been aware of the documents for some months and to have carefully examined them. The papers, seen by the Guardian, seem to represent a serious and highly unusual leak from within the Kremlin.

    So, which American politicians do we find out have been bought and paid for by Russia other than Trump?  Ron Johnson?  

    Clearly Wendy Rogers. Likely tulsi gabbard

    Weapons are pouring in from Eastern Europe. Any stall tactic will just worsen Russian losses. If they haven't controlled the skies yet and a cease fire goes into effect, there is no way Russia will ever control Ukranian airspace.

    I know that and you know that. I don’t think anyone has told Mad Vlad
