MIND U - maybe i'm wrong but i dont think the NATO delivery planes are actually flying into uKraine - but just on the outskirts of Ukraine where there is some established but secret corridor for shipping into Ukraine.

Let's hope that those secret corridors for the US and European transport of weapons for Ukraine remain a secret from the Russian military.

Could Russia technically say NATO is supplying Ukraine with military weapons, missiles, and armoured vehicle and therefore, that NATO is involved in the war?
I mean I hope that is circumvented cuz I don't want WWIII.

I think those lines in the sand were established before the war started.
Would be crazy for Russia to change their mind all of a sudden and attack a NATO country over it. I don't think even Putin is crazy enough to attack NATO directly.

at this point I wouldn't surprised if he couldn't attack a NATO country and all the nukes which are said he has are lies or they are old cold war out of date nukes.

Though realistically he only needs a couple hundred to effectively kill all life on the planet.

I think he has nukes but how far they would be able to travel is the big question.

Classic saber rattling.
but no one's going to step up to call his bluff for obvious reasons. doubt poutine would be dumb enough to directly attack a nato country no matter how ludicrous the Ukrainian invasion is.

A lot of russian communication is unencrypted and you can pick it up with SDR (software-defined radio) if you are in the area. All you need is a $20 dongle and a computer.
You can also listen to these online: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarV...eb2x&context=3

Had someone say "I'm going to buy some war bonds for Ukraine"
a shit load of people said "why the fuck would you do so... its like the worse ROI"
"I'm buying war bonds to support the country."
Everyone went silent after that....

Overheard at bank today:
Student: my mom sent me some money a few days ago but I haven’t received it yet
Teller: when did she send it?
Student: Feb 28
Teller: it can take 5-8 business days, but I can see if it’s pending in our system. *checks* I don’t see anything yet. What bank did she send it from?
Student: a Russian bank.
Awkward silence…
Teller: well, given the current situation, I honestly don’t know how long it will take to receive the transfer…

I asked about this earlier in the thread. Answer below: Quote:
Originally Posted by SkinnyPupp While not being a full member, Ukraine has relations with NATO under " MAP" which means they will assist them depending on their needs, with possible membership later (which they declined to do last year)... They want to make it very clear that they aren't influencing Ukraine in any way, and let them decide what to do on their own. This is exactly what Putin is afraid of, and what he thinks is actually happening, so it didn't matter in the end.
It was supposed to deter Russia from fucking with them, while not giving them full membership which probably would have caused this invasion - and directly WW3 - earlier. Or maybe it would have been a stronger deterrent. Who knows with Putin? | | |

Poland just handed over their entire fleet of MIG-29's, immediately and free of charge: https://www.gov.pl/web/diplomacy/sta...nes-to-ukraine

Win, win, win for three countries. The Americans get to make money from selling new jets to Poland, Poland gets new planes, and Ukraine gets fighter jets free of charge.

If the USA decides to let Ukraine have them, then, well...
