No you won't as you are now threadbanned
Yep, that has been threatened alright. If he does that, it's game over for Mother Russia in so many ways economically. They won't get another lease agreement from anyone, for anything. Not just aircraft. The country will be blacklisted for international insurance on top. IMHO that will hit them harder and for longer than many, if not most of the sanctions. McDonald's and Chanel may go back in but international leasing and insurance will be a closed door.
And they have very little time to row back on this. Those aircraft are becoming worthless by the day. They've no access to spares, no international access to back up maintenence records(a lot of which are still on paper), so by April the planes are massively devalued as they won't be allowed within sniffing distance of international overflights. As it is they're limited to internal flights for the most part. Oh and just today in a blink and you might miss it headline; Bermuda which has half of those aircraft in Russia on her register has removed airworthiness certificates from them. Which means that those 700 odd aircraft standing on Russian tarmacs are effectively worthless. The other half will follow in short order. Insurance will pay out something to the lessors and Russia will be out in the cold back to Soviet times.
Worse than Soviet times. Back then they built and operated their own air fleet, today their latest Sukhoi airliner uses Pratt and Whitney engines and European avionics.
"Near Severodonetsk, the occupiers broke into the house to the pro-Ukrainian volunteer Alexander Kononov and shot him in a wheelchair, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Haidai."
Those brave Russians.
Exactly... I'm wondering how the world can get out of stagflation with all that debt, unable to adjust interest rates upwards? This is why I think some form of global debt forgiveness is going to come into play.
Wonder if that's changing now, if the reports about 30 cruise missiles being shot at that training centre in Yavoriv (sp?) are in any way accurate. I think the Ukrainians said 30 missiles fired, 22 shot down and 8 hit (unlikely they managed to shot down 22, but still)..
My apologies comrades my source for the earlier speculation about the American.
I shall continue despite the pathetic personal abuse to continue to link to sources that counteract some of the Ukrainian propaganda and so that people can get a more balanced view of what is going on in the Ukraine.
Ukraine opening a counter offensive near Kharkiv and Mikolajiv ... According to Ukranian officials. Which if true is very positive news.
Wait, so do I throw away my PLO scarf or remove all my Glory to Ukraine avatars?
War is so complicated.
Russia asks China for military assistance in its invasion of Ukraine - https://on.ft.com/3MM3DpX via @FT
Any other sources on this ?
time to take the Palestinian flags down folks
the ECB was planning on 3 or 4 rate rises in 2023
Why ? ... I just saw your response..... I think you are a bit shortsighted in your view on everything Russian or from Russia. There are always nuances. Publisher of the Moscow times is a Dutch fella who is very critical for years regarding Putin.
The tactic during Stalingrad was to pour in just the right amount of troops to keep the Germans constantly on their toes and defend the area close to the river. The Red Army soldiers would last about 24 hours before death and they would replenish them at just the right amount.
All of this was to wear down the Germans before the famoussuper offensive, when they poured the lot in. Or the A-Team.
Russia seem to have been throwing in the conscripts, new recruits, mercenaries and I have seen prisoners even being mentioned.
The A-Team are still sitting in the base waiting to be called upon. Along with the back up plan of the Belerussians.
But without doubt, they are losing a lot of vehicles and weaponry. Way more than they thought they would have.
Not many wars happen with an economy 70 trillion dollars in debt though. Eventually at some point interest rates have to rise fast, it is impossible to escape it, it is economics.
Palestinians would not be noted for their adroit decision making
Assuming their priority was low casualties... Russia takes a different view of the value of a fighter jet or missile they have limited quantities of to Western armies.
Also at the outset I think they had a shock and awe coup in mind rather than coming up against determined resistance. So now gears have shifted.
Um, they do have a habit of being on the wrong side of history. Supporting Nazi Germany, Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, Lebanese civil war, trying to overthrow Jordan.
There are some mental gymnastics one has to do to see their point of view, but there's also something that concerns me and has for some time with regards to Palestinians. It's extreme narcissism and thinking they're unique in terms of their experiences. One should be able to judge Russia Vs Ukraine on its own merits without resorting to twisting yourself into a pretzel wondering how you can make it about Palestine.
Anyway, the same question will be asked of Israelis in the next few days so I'll post it when it comes out. There should be some Israeli-Russian perspectives which will be interesting to see where they fall. Will they stick with Mother Russia or twist?
Must of been something like that. Even if low priority airfield even that they used 8 missiles it was the right thing for them to do. Should of been doing that on all the airfields even the low priority airfields. Stop them being used by the Ukrainians. I'm also surprised they haven't targeted the rail lines in the west
"And the area in which he was killed isn't currently under Russian control. Some speculate that he was killed by some trigger happy Ukrainian civilians or he undercover with the American government"

Ah you're off again. Well I'm surprised
You must have missed practically every news agency reporting that the reporter in question Brent Renaud, was shot and killed while reporting in Irpin, a suburb of the capital, Kyiv after coming under Russian fire while working there.
Irpin is one of several flashpoint close to Kyiv, which Russian forces are currently encircling and attacking. But oohhh nooo twas the "trigger happy Ukranians or he was one of those nasty CIA types!
Where the fuq do you get your news? The Kremlin?
Fake news. Israel has come out and said that they won't be a haven for Oligarch money. However, they aren't going to sanction their own citizens. Abramovic and Fridman both have Israeli citizenship, so that's a non-starter. Just as if Abramovic was British I don't think the British government would have sanctioned him.
You'd think Palestinians would be against one nation oppressing another since they know all about that, but on the other hand, Israel is backed by America and America traditionally does not like Russia, so Palestinians like Russia? Also, Hamas have a goal to liberate Palestine, and one backer of Hamas is Iran, who are fairly close to Russia, so again... Palestinians like Russia?
Seems a bit like Vietnam... tail end of which overlapped the 1970s oil crisis... inflation crisis.
Quick google says:
Stagflation was prevalent among seven major market economies from 1973 to 1982.
Most wars dont lead to economic collapse in the US for example, they usually have growth in their stock markets in double digits during war times, what makes this any different? apart from inflation of course
Those economists I mentioned a few posts back were asked to what extent they agreed with the statement "The fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine will be stagflationary in that it will noticeably reduce global growth and raise global inflation over the next year."
60% agreed. 9% strongly agreed. 19% were uncertain. 0% [sic] disagreed.
Earlier in the thread there were posts about Putin being furious 8 missiles were used to take out a low priority airfield ... they have 200 and replenishment challenging. So one reason might be... they thought the expendables could do the job and didnt want to risk / use up high value assets.
When the CIA go undercover, they use journalists apparently.
A collapse is far more likely. The ECB this week refused to raise interest rates from -.5% and will continue to print 40 Billion Euro's / month despite inflation rising now.
Absolutely and totally in no mans land. If they raise them certain nations will struggle big time, if they stop printing same again.
Plot twist. Palestinians come out mainly in support of Russia.
Ah ffs..can I please get the info on how to ignore these parasites back up here
I didn't believe I would need to be but their hard work needs to be ignored
