I remember a 90s story about USA visiting a Soviet tank plant re: disarmament, with production data from CIA based on the floorspace & USAs typical productivity (plus also stolen Soviet data๐Ÿ˜)

1) Missing the line from Przemyล›l in Poland to Ukraine...why?
2) random colours. What a trip.๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
3) if this means more money for the expansion of the Stuttgart - Munich axis between Ulm and Ausgburg, let's do it.

๐ŸงHe doesn't know how good diesel electric submarines are.
They aren't built because it's hard to build nuclear subs, they are built because they are still very very good. Especially in littoral waters.

Putin has several nice tables and some really, really long COVID tables for sketchy 1:1 meetings.

I only read words in capital letters in any of his tweets and never more than three words.

So this one says "U.S.A. DJT" only..

Symbolic only. The EU Parliament has no competence (legal term) in the area of national defence. Nor does it have "competence competence" or the ability to take on new legislative authority.

Still, nice to have.

A pug modelling a Queen of Anglo-Saxonia crown whilst crocheting and watching a TV (outside the image) to see if any points can be scored. The pug is very concerned that Russian railways will not be able to deliver more wool, which (of course) would make things worse.

Tomahawk will fling a 450kg warhead over 2500kms. Latest Ukrainian Flamingo FP-5 does fling a 1150kg warhead 3000km.

Don't see Russia having an option here.๐Ÿค” They're going to get hit by one or the other.

Yeah. My neighbour posted such a video about Odessa ๐Ÿ˜ก

I pointed out to him that most beaches were closed, the open beaches still kill people because mines wash ashore. And why shouldn't people enjoy life in-between the bombings?

"circle for an hour" "land using paper charts" ๐Ÿค”
So ATC had no 2ndary radar couldn't give them vectors? The pilots iPad full of charts also failed? No other planes affected only that plane?๐Ÿง
I suspect the journalism may be slightly lacking in completeness and context.

OTD in 2008, soon after I invaded Georgia, I was interviewed by Germany's biggest TV channel ARD in which I said I recognize all of Ukraineโ€™s borders, including Crimea.

3 days later we claimed a โ€œsphere of influenceโ€ that includes Ukraine.

2027 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of China's PLA. I think Taiwan could be reunited with China anytime.
Short of giving Taiwan 10000 nuclear tipped missiles, I'm not sure what prevents forceful invasion.
Promises didn't help South Vietnam, not have they helped Ukraine much. ๐Ÿ™
