Some countries are probably becoming really perturbed and might do this despite caution emanating from Paris and Berlin. The Russians likely keep pushing until there is a shoot down then will have to decide between an air war with Europe (very bad), something asymmetric (possible), or just issuing a stream of bellicose statements but ultimately taking it (very likely).

That's probably what will happen if he tries it again. Polish airspace with no transponders on? Someone's gettin lit up.

The Polish government has told its citizens to depart Belarus "urgently".
The actual fuck.... really happening?
Google appears oblivious upon a search, but K1052's post does have a link to a link.... where it looks legit, but I am unaware of how reliable the source is.
The border was previously closed due to Russian military deployment along the border.
Poles just reopened the border, and NOW would be a great time to leave before Russia invades NATO airspace again and gets shot down.

As Russia intends on expanding the war, now is a good time for Europeans to flee enemy territory. Before they are captured, tortured, and killed.

Im talking out of my ass here.

If the grand vision(tm) was to take on China by plotting an axis WITH Russia ... If the administration has given up on the idea of flipping Russia, then what?
Seems like the path to China goes *through* Russia now.
At this point Russia is more of a vessel state of China anyway right?

At this point Russia is more of a vassal state of China anyway right?


Yes. Putin is less than a junior partner now, thanks to Russia's reliance on China for critical war materials. Did you see Xi's Yay China summit recently? He basically gave Putin the cold shoulder, didn't want him ruining his CCP bash with talk and pics of his gaping, oozing Ukrainian wound. And Putin had to take it and smile.


*Xi flips hair*

That's nasty ok? This party is about me. So like, get with it or leave. Ugh, I can't even...

And little tubby Kim is all "Ladies ladies, you're both pretty."

As expected Zelensky asked to purchase TLAMs.

Volodymyr Zelensky has requested Tomahawk missiles in a behind-closed-doors meeting with Donald Trump.

The Ukrainian president told his American counterpart the high-tech weapons system would help bring Vladimir Putinto the negotiating table to discuss a peace accord.

Multiple sources told the Telegraph that the request was made in what has been hailed as a massively positive meeting between the two leaders held on the fringes of the United Nations.
In an interview after the meeting, Mr Zelensky said Mr Trump was amenable to his appeal for the long-range cruise missile, that would put Moscow in range of Kyiv’s strikes.

times radio embed reporter in pokrovsk
azov corp encirclement of rus salients resulting in 3000 orcs killed in a few days.
ukr has set up an app with realtime updated last known position of enemy, reinforcement rus troops being offloaded directly into himars/drones because rus has no clue as to the situation of its troops or threats. the ukr mapping is showing the situation is much better for them than all the thinktank groups had been describing.

putler purging corruption and installing relatives because rus cant afford the 'usual' amount of kleptocracy so in order to claw back some of the the funds the ones whose loyalty was to the money and not dear leader are getting arrested.
