Andrei Kozyrev was Boris Yeltsin's Foreign Minister. He is now retired and lives in Miami. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Kozyrev

Fuming Putin fires generals over invasion losses, says Ukraine "While Putin is busy firing Russian generals, the Ukrainians have been hard at work killing them." LOL! Maybe Putin will soon be putting out Help-Wanted ads for new generals.

Ukraine says they bagged another one: A third Russian general has been killed as the war intensifies, Ukraine claims Ukraine's military said in a tweet that they killed Russian Maj. Gen. Andrey Kolesnikov, believed to be the commander of the 29th Combined Arms Army.

Maybe China isn't as chummy with Russia as we thought: Russia says China refuses to supply aircraft parts after sanctions

Madison Cawthorn charged with driving with revoked license for second time

He could just declare that he won, and spend the next few years arguing that he was robbed of his victory.

In 2015 a NATO member state shot down a Russian fighter, and there was no nuclear exchange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shootdown

You are missing my point; That is how the free world reacted in 1939; It is not how they are reacting now.

An interesting point made by someone on another forum: The US and NATO are dragging their feet about providing combat aircraft to Ukraine, over the fear of antagonizing a nuclear power. In the Vietnam War, North Vietnam was getting MIG's from Russia, and also Chinese built MIG's from China, both nuclear powers.

It’s a Deal: U.S. Brokers Agreement Where Polish Fighter Jets Will Fly For Ukraine Alright! Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland in connection with the statement by the US Secretary of State on providing airplanes to Ukraine

You think he would stop at Ukraine?

Series of tweets from a PolSci professor explaining the relationship between Putin and the toadies who keep him in power. The situation she describes is not what I thought it was.

I once read an article by a historian who was arguing that instead of taking on the German army head-to-head, the Allies could have dramatically shortened the war by focusing on just one thing: Depriving Germany of petroleum.

And unfortunately, a complication in the US backfilling the Polish AF with F-16's is that Taiwan has a pre-existing order for new F-16's, and was already trying to find a way to accelerate the delivery. US seeks to speed up delivery of new F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan
