That tank or APC running over the obviously civilian car is infuriating.

I think it was the General, Hertling? that predicted the Russians will engage in atrocities.

Not exactly a bold prediction, given their history.

No idea whether that Twitter thread is accurate or not, but it’s easy to believe that young Russian men, with less than 1 year in the military, don’t want to be in Ukraine.

Unless vacationing on the Black Sea.

There is a terrible habit of escalating incompetence Western Europe.

 

I can boil this down in one example:

 

We are talking now about how inept and pathetic the Bundeswehr is. Of course, that cannot be attributable to one specific politician, as it has been a succession of weak leaders who have escalated complete incompetents to positions of power in the Defense Ministry due to their own domestic political games (looking right at you, Angie Merkel). However, in the sorry list of shitty heads of the Ministry of Defense, there is one who stands head and shoulders above the rest. She was soooooo bad at the job, and took soooooo much ridicule by the German people (who generally don't give a fuck about the Bundeswehr anyway) that there was no place for Angie to put this woman in the Government when Angie got to the end of her term. Even the military was openly blasting their own Defense Chief.

 

But Angie needed to escalate into the Secretary of Defense role the woman who, at the time, Angie thought would be her heir. A woman named Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. So, in order to make room for this move, Angie had to move this laughingstock out. So she used her power to install her elsewhere.

 

Who was this pathetic Defense Minister... and where was she installed, you might ask?

She's the one running the EU.

 

I think she thought big bad Russia was in the rear view and everything would be resolved diplomatically. The only force she needed was the token stuff to assist us in the Middle East so she could check the box. We had a couple of Germans at a viasat conference. They talked about being way being on link-16 deployment and talked about their gum and bandaid budget. It’s one of those ugly realities that if shit really did go down in the EU, NATO would struggle to coordinate at the level the US is used to because everyone else is still a gen behind at best.

Sanctions seem toothless to some extent. Gazprom isn’t allowed to seek western financing but Germany is paying Gazprom for natural gas. That feels like if we placed sanctions on HEB but only that they can’t accept Amex payments.

edit: assuming HEB is open in the first place.

You just described Costco.

It's infuriating.  I keep hearing our American politicians talking about how they are focusing on keeping gas prices as low as possible for Americans.  I'm just shaking my head.  That's their priority.  It's mind-numbing.

That's because they know a massive amount of Americans will be bankrupt in less than a month if certain things like gas and food gets too expensive.

Ukraine would have no real way of knowing how many Russians were dead as they're on the run and losing territory. I do think they are putting up some major casualty numbers on the Russians though.

And for Americans that can survive higher prices, many of them would be unwilling to sacrifice for America much less Ukraine.

The Reuters article about Ukraine ready to sue for peace is disappointing.  This thing gonna end in 1 fucking day with Putin getting everything he wants (Ukrainian recognition of the “independent” territories, Ukrainian leadership resigning, formal rejection of NATO membership by Ukraine, and installation of a puppet govt.)?

Yep, no one will probably ever know their losses. Closest we’ll probably get is the Ukrainians billing the Russians for each of their solder bodies that had to burn

Our entire society is built to increase shareholder value. That's all that matters in America. None of our actions wrt/ Russian consequences are surprising, those poor businesses posting record profits through the pandemic really can't be expected to tighten the belt and pay more for energy or more for labor.

I will be fucking shocked once we start doing the right thing.

Let's be honest. If shit goes down in the EU everyone will expect the US to resolve it.

I wonder if we can just send her over, stick her in a Kiev square, let her run her piehole,  and she can drive the Russians crazy and they'll just leave.

I appreciate your optimism. I hope he's headed to his bunker to end this right now like all "good" dictators do.

We decided to take on special obligations after WW2 and I don't have a problem with that. Also plenty of EU and British soldiers have fought/would fight along with us. I understand your frustration with the current situation though and feel the same. Especially on things like luxury goods.

Has she even been to the beaches of Odesa? Lots of Commies have fond memories of their time there.

Yeah how many of those people will drop their mags and clear the chamber if the Ukranian government surrenders?

saw somewhere (here?) that the guns out there will be a problem in the future, but either the gov't can deal with it later or if the Russians "win" then who gives a fuck.

Who knows but if Russians have to start fighting street-by-street in Kyiv, they're in for a long fight. It must be relatively easy to roll through small towns or villages but a city of almost 3m is different. 

I also have to believe that the reluctant Russian soldier is going to find ways to avoid battle. They probably don't want to be in the Russian military in the first place much less face people shooting at them.

Flight Radar is fun to play around with:

Current tanker on station (out of Mildenhall):

Replaced this guy heading home (to probably Ramstein - flight path history was a perfect racetrack overlay):
