Update – Ukraine conflict: NATO shores up enhanced Air Policing mission (janes.com)

NATO has rushed a lot more air assets to near the border, perhaps increasing chances for a mistake.


I got an idearrrrr

we paint 20 different flags on a bunch of jets and destroy the 40-mile sitting duck convoy......Russia won't know who to blame.

That column strikes me as irrelevant, at least for now.  It was all in the news, and then whoosh.  If the head is blocked and they can't go off road, it's just stuck, and irrelevant.

The UN routinely calls for cease fires, and they use harsh language at times.

They are HQ'd in NYC.  They took a vote condemning the attack.  I'm not sure what you expect from them.  The UN is about talk, and that is it.

Nope all they can do is pass a resolution to condemn the Russian action

You history buffs can tell me about this. Putin keeps talking about "denazification" and that sounds pretty weird. I'm aware of the connections to supposed neo-Nazis. However, western folks tend to think of Nazis as genocidal racists. Does it have a different connotation in Russia? Germany attacked Russia as sort of a sign of western domination of Europe, and Ukraine was seen as key to the operation.

I don't know what else can be expected from the UN, they have no independent military on call.  They talk, and vote.

It's all they can do really.

Putin uses the term "Nazi" to refer to enemies, he knows it arouses feelings in Russia.  It's simply a tactic to justify the invasion of Ukraine internally.

I am fairly sure the morale of the Russian soldier is pitiful and they have to be given some justification for shooting other Russian speaking folks who look like them.

It reminds me in some few respects of the US Civil War.
