Good read firsthand account of a Russian soldier. His battalion was completely obliterated down to just a few original soldiers. The Ukranians were prepared with crazy good strategy.

Sounds like it it time to drop a few missiles on a couple of the pipeline pumping stations to make their decisions moot.

Shell has already created the Latvian 49.99% blend. They are still trying to make money at the limits of the government, and that means a fiduciary duty to pursue loopholes to trade with Russians, because across the market someone is going to find a loophole and gain an advantage. The barrels still appear on the market.

Sanctions have mostly created byzantine processes. It will take a physical action to stop the physical transport.

Is it really an "invasion" if the government of Ukraine invites them?

An invitation from the president and the entire leadership of the country probably carries a bit more weight than one from Ivan, who has lived in Luhansk since 2015.

So helping a sovereign country defend itself counts as a provocation. Got it.

Will be interesting to see what these are used for. Pentagon so far has been tight lipped as to what systems they are sending.

Poland well-prepared for cutoff of Russian gas. Plans years in the making now pay off.

"Naimski's Law and Justice party returned to power in 2005 and began laying plans to build the LNG import terminal on Poland's Baltic coastline. The floating terminal was completed in 2016."

"The most important piece of Poland's independence strategy is the soon-to-be christened pipeline from Norway, which the nation's minister of climate and environment, Anna Moskwa, calls "the great pride of Mr. Naimski." When that underwater link starts shipping gas in a few months, it will have the capacity to deliver 10 bcm to Poland a year more than making up for the quantities Russia was supplying."

No, what was irrational and unprovoked was Russia's invasion of Ukraine. BEGINNING in 2014.

Probably remote operated submersibles. Drones that are submarines. Could also be surface vessels, although I'm not sure of the benefits of that vs just having a small craft navy in Ukraines situation.

Look for the recently scraped paint pattern on turret below open hatch. The other is easier.

Drone boats. May be used for reconnaissance, surveillance, placing or removing mines, surface warfare, electronic warfare, etc. Lots of fun possibilities depending on what's sent.

Here is an article with some options of USVs Ukraine could receive. Kirby has specifically referred to USVs which stands for Unmanned Surface Vehicles. Not submersible.

Would be interesting if they had a small unmanned boat or sub that could carry a couple of Mark 48s out to where the Russians are launching cruise missiles from their subs.

I'm more interested blowing up the Kerch Strait bridge.

More evidence that Russia's MO really is "give us what we want or we'll nuke you". They don't care about anything but expansion, control, usurpation of "inferior" peoples. Yep. They totally went into Ukraine in order to "protect Russian speakers" and "liberate Ukraine from Nazis".

Total subjugation and annexation of a nation or we'll blow up the world is really a reasonable approach that would have never bitten the US and the rest of the developed world the ass if we'd just let them keep taking bites. We provoked them by enabling Ukraine to say "no".
