The Russia/Ukraine War Thread


Sharpshooter

Recommended Posts

Here is a must watch video.  I have to admit being caught that it is a beautiful Ukrainian women making the appeal.

 

Don't; the appeal is genuine.  Peace is the absence of danger. Peace is the absence of occupation. 

 

Will countries contribute to the liberation of Ukraine?

 

Peace is the absence of weapons of 'Ze Moscow.

 

Nussing but weapons for Ukraine, will bring ze peace to Ukraine...

How in holy hell is this not grounds for Article 5?

Likely because we don't want to end the world over a single ship that was likely hit by accident in the location it was hit flying the flag it was flying. 

I am unfamiliar with the situation, but if Turkish and if in Romanian waters, this was a mistake by Russia, not likely a planned perfect operation. 

after seeing Russia blow its own fighters out of the sky, and in one case damage its own ship in the last two years, it is the balance of probabilities that the hit, if reported correctly, was an error or a rogue local commander thinking he is getting a doubya, but will fall off a roof soon.


ROFL, only stopped by to post this but got interested in the recent posts...

Türkiye doesn't mess around with that either, I'd be interested to hear their own military's assessment. They shot down a Russian Su-24 that entered their airspace along the Syrian border in 2015.

eeep. Reminds me of a decomissioned bunker where JTF2 stores some of their gear. It isn't manned 24/7 and there are rarely even a dozen people inside getting or depositing things, but in the greater Ottawa region there are worse bunkers we are using. Thing is we have ropes and dirigibles and atv's and stuff like that in ours, not a Nuke command center, lol.

Russian plane draws Japanese reaction

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/japan-responds-with-fighter-jets-to-russian-aircraft-circling-its-airspace/ar-AA1qvu2p?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=f35d236bd37c4e78a9e296b1359adff2&ei=10

"

Japan's Defense Ministry reported that it scrambled fighter jets after two Russian patrol aircraft were detected flying in circles around the country.

First Time Since 2019

Although the Russian planes did not enter Japanese airspace, their proximity raised significant concerns. This incident marks the first such military activity around Japan since 2019, when Russian bombers breached Japanese airspace.
