That is a voice of capitulation and giving Putin the win, not of reason.
In other words, they need nukes.
yup and nato and be in eu
This is how it ends:
He joins Daft Punk?
Basically win lose or whatever Russia should get to dictate the result?
Anyone that believes what yanis says also believes that Ukraine and Ukrainians should not get to determine their own future and what they believe to be acceptable to them.
Then frankly you don't believe in democracy. Similarly to the GOP in the US and their thrusts to subvert the supreme court that's going on right now with members of it ties to Q Anon conspiracy . You've all fallen for the infinite Russian online campaign which has been going on for decades telling you how bad the west is, how mundane issues should blow up and become the centre of your universe and oh how strong Russia is and not to mess with it. Theyve absolutely melted the minds of millions of susceptible people into believing a social media post with a fancy meme attached gives them more information than a well researched article written by a professional journalist in their national newspaper.
It's all connected. Every last bit of it. From the Biden crime family shite to the EU wants to take your first Borns into it's EU army.
If Ukrainians want to join NATO then Ukrainians decide for themselves.
Democracy has been tested very very hard and the US is not out of the worst of it either . We shouldn't appease dictators or the source of vast swades of disinformation and cyber attacks in the world. Nor should we be appeasing their happy passengers . Yanis.... Mick Wallace ... Claire Daly... Coupled with grifter chancers like Nigel farage.. various Tory MPs and countless GOP sentors. These people are a mix of the impressionable clowns and snakes in the grass. They're a mix of trying to destroy out systems because someone on Facebook told them they were bad and actual bad actors who make money from peddling the same shite nonsense to the same idiot clowns.
Putin has no choice but to recruit mercenaries from everywhere as long as they follow orders. Now there is a huge number of deserters in the Russian army, whole platoons are dropping their weapons and going to the tribunal, morale is destroyed, people do not want to shoot at their own kind, and even more so at civilians.
Steady on now!
Us "elephant penis "people have feelings too you know!
What worries me is if jihadists from the Middle East jump on board with the Russians and see this as an easy way to get into Europe and get access to major weapons
Yeah having an elephant penis is a huge drawback ....
like the existing Budapest Agreement?
But it doesn't worry you if the same said jihadist or any other blood thirsty criminal jumps on board with Ukrainian side because...?
Aviation Interest.
Right now, off Moldova, there is the rare sight of 1 x Kc135 tanker, 1 x NATO E3-Sentry with its prominent radar disc and an RC-135w Rivet Joint, all in close proximity to each other.
The E3 looks to be positioning itself behind the tanker to refuel. I'll post an aircraft view of the encounter if it comes to pass.
The world waking up to China is the icing on the cake of Russian military incompetence.
This is the view from the E-3's perspective, with the tanker dead ahead, LAGR272.
This is what the view from the observer window at the refueling station on the KC-135 will look like. The boom is "flown", or steered using the small wings on the boom. The receptacle on the E3 is on top and behind the cockpit of the E3 and a series of red, yellow and green lights guide the pilot flying into the boom, as it is out of sight.
Jes-s wept. Eg he was decrying the fact that Google was not in favour of the war - I WONDER why? And the Texas frackers we’re loving it - I assume that it makes them more money. And he wants to find a way to get them at each others throat - with what purpose in mind? Is this not a strategy straight out on Putins book. I can only assume that Yanks would apply the same strategy to all the issues out there that needs solving in his eyes. Eg small shopkeepers V supermarkets; big farmers v small farmers
Good. Maybe oul Uncle Xi should make it clear he condemns Ukrainian children being murdered then? No fence sitting is acceptable when it comes to terrorism.
Also. This British Airways flight is taking a massive risk flying over Crimea at the moment. Its right over Sevestopol at 30 000ft. What's going on here, I wonder? It might be that it's actually further south, but that the ADS-B is being jammed in the area to give a false return.
Cheers GP, your posts are always very informative.
Thanks buddy. I like giving folks an idea of what goes on in certain sectors of aviation that is normally out of the public eye.
On the subject of Jamming:
As I've mentioned in earlier posts, those of us interested in OSINT, or Open Source Intelligence, get our information from sources available to the general public. These can be anything from Facebook posts of people in or near areas of conflict, Google earth combined with Google Street View to triangulate or confirm the location of images, or freely available weather satellite images from various satellites.
One of these is the Sentinel 1 Satellite. This is a radar-imaging Satellite that is used to measure cloud density or even wave height at sea. It can also spot vessels out at sea, which appear as grey smudges. This is how the community was able to track the Russian amphibious fleet down the coast of Portugal just before the war.
The radar is susceptible to interference from naval or ground based radar bursts, that appear as heavy lines on the image. Back in July, it came to light that Russia was testing a new method of blocking or jamming the Sentinel radar, as intense interference lines were appearing on Satellite images taken over and to the south of Crimea. I believe that, even back then, Russia were getting their ducks in line and knew that they needed to find a way to interfere with the satellites passing over their potential areas of operation.
Here is a link to the issue in question.

It's a UK government plot to put a wedge between Pakistan and Russia.
That's a FR24 glitch, it took the same flight track as all other flights just over northern Turkey, the correct track is now showing on FR24.
It's not all that rare (especially of late) and is becoming increasingly more common the last number of months.
There you go! Cheers.
He'd have to get lucky...
A good resource I recommend for the general public is ADS-B:-
Whilst FR24 is my personal favourite (as a fully paid up subscription) I still rely on ADS-B for the military side of things as only a handful of military stuff shows on FR24. An example of this was watching AF1 on ADS-B yesterday which anyone in the aviation community will know is blocked from FR24 as are many military aircraft.
Anyone wanting to watch military only planes using ADS-B can do so via the military filter or by pressing the "U".
Here's an example of a military plane which won't show on FR24:-
Back in July, it came to light that Russia was testing a new method of blocking or jamming the Sentinel radar,
Here's some footage of the tests
I used to enjoy an aerial combat sim that ran on Win95 that had air to air refuelling in it where you had to locate a KC-135, ask for a top up, then gingerly approach it from astern and attempt to mate with it. Quite tricky it was..
