You'd like to see the red go the other direction instead it's starting to look like a Gorbachev forehead birthmark.

The ability of a country under the same threat as Ukraine to send anything is worthy of praise.

Not only that but it's a **** ton more than just 12 pallets

This s*** gonna escalate.

Might be time for somebody to spool up a ***** WW3 - OFFICIAL ***** placeholder.

Something pops off, we don't wanna get caught flat footed.

No better time than the present to give it a test flight.

USAF’s Boeing 747-E4B “Doomsday Plane” (GORDO15), is a CoG (Continuity of Government) vehicle that is able to withstand a nuclear blast.

It went airborne today in an apparent test flight for a short time over Lincoln, Nebraska close to Offut Air Force Base in Omaha. pic.twitter.com/bP1sDlf6od

An interesting news story from https://www.newsweek.com/captured-russian-soldier-demoralized-war-troops-ukraine-russia-invasion-1683077

Quote:

---

Captured Russian soldiers say they do not want war and wish to go home as they claim they were deceived by their commanders, according to a translation of a viral video.

...

The person recording the video interviewed each of the hand-bound soldiers and questioned why they were invading Ukraine. The soldiers said that they simply wanted to return home, did not want to invade Ukraine in the first place and were demoralized.

---

Was covered earlier. E-4s and Navy E-6 command and control aircraft are often airborne. Likely has little to do with current situation.

i repeat: an official, bluechecked account run by the ukrainian government & representing the ukrainian armed forces is claiming that ukrainian pilots will be flying combat missions from the territory of poland. if true, this is pretty much an act of war by an EU country. https://t.co/R3RqTRxUqn pic.twitter.com/PyoJLrTJQv

This is an escalation. I really don't like where this is going.

We cannot imagine pain & heartbreak in picking up your pets, leaving your home & everything behind. Yet we are seeing heartbreaking images of Ukrainians fleeing with beloved pets 😞

U.S. AND ALLIES ARE COORDINATING NOT ONLY TO FREEZE THE ASSETS OF PUTIN AND HIS OILGARCHS, BUT TO SEIZE THEM AS WELL -U.S. OFFICIAL

Why are our leaders so stupid? This is basically them declaring war.

Oh my… an Ukrainian villager again decided to bring back home an abandoned Russian military hardware but this time a 9K33 OSA surface-to-air missile system by tying it to his tractor. pic.twitter.com/9EeR1PA6V2

"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."

Or to paraphrase:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I'm good with it being seized after reading about two children being burned alive in their car today due to Russian shelling.

Now in the Polish press. Ukraine just upped its Air Force by about a third. https://t.co/vgOK46g66q

This is 100% in response to Russian threats to nationalize Western assets of countries sanctioning Russia.

For perspective, this is about 2x the space the RU's controlled on Saturday...the areas N of Crimea and areas along the RU border have increased substantially. LiveUA Map has a map of this that updates on an ongoing basis.

I don't see how this is not just a matter of time.

If we were serious, the EU and US would announce a boycott of RU oil and gas. Anything short of that lacks credibility. We are financing Putin's invasion needlessly.

The sanction nobody is talking about. Russian users who attempted to visit pornhub were quite literally cockblocked by a message that told them that the content has been stopped along with a Ukranian flag and message of Ukranian support #Ukraine #UkraineRussia #UkraineInvasion pic.twitter.com/XdI75534JW

Total war.

That's actually significant to the Russian people. They have a huge part involved in the online sex world with Pornhub being a central platform for it. This is a pinch that the Russian civilian will feel before our national sanctions do.

Or at least I heard from a friend .....

Too late. You are now dubbed the Texags pornhub guru. Better step up that research.

And here’s where it’s beginning to trickle (or rather, pour) down on average Russians: As of tomorrow, Sberbank is raising mortgage rates on homes (both finished and under construction) by 7.5% to 18.6%.

This is Putin’s new economy. This will be his legacy. https://t.co/rRKrG6GEqd
