For those pointing out that this could be an official denial to cover the actual deliveries given Russian rhetoric on weapons assistance - I genuinely hope that is the case.

Moving USAF fighter squadrons into place would be a huge escalation.Quote:
Under NATO the US could have promised to replace existing airframes with new equipment and deployed its own USAF fighter squadrons to shore up their defenses in the meantime

and so will the next thug(s). Evil must be checked. I do not want us to get involved either but I would rather conduct combat operations to stop this indiscriminate killing of civilians from an unjust invasion than just the shooting down of one of our own war fighters.

It won't stop there, Putin will turn his attention to another region/country with the world giving him the green light to do so.
This suggests that Russia not only began building up its forces around Ukraine’s border a year ago. It also likely planted agents in cities across Ukraine a year ago to lay the groundwork for the invasion. https://t.co/CxXhlGMVvG

Looking back at this tweet, the best explanation is that many of these soldiers, including their officers, were not aware that an invasion was imminent, which would explain their behavior and the poor operational security. https://t.co/jGqw8W4tow

As an example, I heard an anecdote that the soldiers deployed to Belarus had return tickets and were under the impression that they would leave once the exercise was over. That clearly wasn't the plan, but Russia's senior leadership kept their soldiers under that impression. 3/

Anyone think we might get more than we bargained for by completely wrecking the Russian economy via sanctions?
I think we've seen this one before.
Dilettante said:
If no more major sanctions come in from now on, and the Russians reach a desirable outcome in Ukraine within the next 3 days, is it possible that it was worth it for them?
I'd like to get opinions from the finance people, but the economic sanctions seem overhyped. Their currency has depreciated 20% so far, and the stock market remains closed, but some economists in the WSJ claimed their GDP would only decrease ~5% or so. It's a hefty hit, but if it's temporary (only lasts a few years) I could see an argument that Ukraine is strategically and economically more valuable than what they've given up.
Are we expecting their economic situation to deteriorate further? Because it doesn't seem like they are totally devastated yet, unless I'm missing something.
Frankly, the sanctions should remain in place until Russia completely dismantles their ability to wage war again, but that might just be wishful thinking.ABATTBQ11 said:Dilettante said:

Sanctions will likely keep coming and stay until Russia leaves. This has been a humanitarian **** show, and I think the EU and US are going to insist on Russia returning to the status quo before they're willing to do the same. They've learned their lesson on appeasement and Russian land grabs, and they know that allowing them to keep anything will simply encourage them to try again in a few years. They've gone too far this time, and I think much of the world wants to ensure they don't try again.
