Russia begins Invasion of Ukraine

Blockades are generally regarded as an act of war...
They're. Just like state sponsored sabotage efforts on your home soil.
But blockades are still different from a full scale war launching attacks on the controlled territory of the enemy. That's an escalation further.

Just stating how the article 5 defense packt would probably pan out.

It's one out of two things: either the rumors about Moskva carrying nukes are true, and they're trying to recover them, or the rumors about that Kilo-class sub that sank due to an accident are true, and they're trying to salvage it.

Got a link to said rumours of the Kilo accident?

It is definitely interesting that this salvage vessel is there … a couple of Neptunes into her amidships would definitely rub salt into the wound.

So are sanctions

Not in anything like the same way as a blockade.

Sanctions can be done remotely, blockades need military assets deployed around borders to physically stop people & goods entering, by force, if necessary. A blockade is on a whole different level.

Only some rumors that a Kilo had been reported as way late for radio contact. It might've been nothing, ex. just broken-down radio equipment.

Time lapse of the grab em by the table guy:



I think the rumors of him being afflicted with something are true, I hate to make the comparison with someone so beloved as Michael J Fox (and I’m definitely not a medical professional) but the way he seems to cope looks similar…it’s bizarre

He was probaly holding his finger close to the button...

 


My German is still trash sadly, but more or less it's said in the tweet.


Well there it is. This is coming hot on the heels of Scholz' failed parliamentary vote on a vaccine mandate, where he was unable to garner a majority among his own coalition. The Chancellor's cowardly response to the war in Ukraine will will probably end up in a governmental crisis. It will be either Lindner from the FDP or more probably Merz from the CDU/CSU opposition leading the charge.

Sholz is clearly a douche. These other folks any better?

This has to be a high score.
There were spreadsheets in the comments.

Ukraine delivering the Top 500 hits we're counting down!

Good to see that UA are now owning some modern shoot and scoot artillery. Here is to hoping russian troops keep on trying to use their cell phones.

And, anti artillery will be a huge thing for UA.

So, are you now at the point of supporting an immediate end to Germany buying gas and oil from Russia if Scholz is ousted? It would seem to be something most Germans would put up with, judging from the polls.

I might be wrong, but I very much doubt they'll stop buying gas from russia no matter what happens politically.

You might get a new guy who's more enthusiastic when it comes to sending weaponry to Ukraine.
 
A bit off topic and hopefully not offensive, as none is meant, but I wonder if this war will mean the return of all baddies in movies being of generic Russian origin like they used to be pre-9/11. Mid-eastern terrorist baddies aren't as fun as hulking rashan stronk men viv bad akksent.

No not really, since after this will be done, Russia will no longer be threatening (at least for quite a while)

Then this war will never end in anything other than an overall defeat for western values, and Russia will not suffer the kind of punishment they deserve. They will de facto come out of this conflict looking stronger. Simply because history will record that even with Putin committing genocide, the west (principally Germany) continued to fill his coffers with billions of dollars, like the good little lap dog it is. It will represent the most shameful act of cowardice, moral degradation, and greed in modern history.

2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown

A Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jet shot down a Russian Sukhoi Su-24M attack aircraft near the Syria–Turkey border on 24 November 2015. According to Turkey, the aircraft was fired upon while in Turkish airspace because it violated the border up to a depth of 2. 19 kilometres (1. 36 miles) for about 17 seconds after being warned to change its heading 10 times over a period of five minutes before entering the airspace.

People who literally gave us Hitler think their money is more important than stopping war atrocities.

I don't want to downplay this but fuel is really important to countries without other means of getting it.
it could mean hardship and poverty for them if they don't get that gas
