A fence isn't enough. The borders between Russia/Belarus and the Baltic countries need to be militarized. Build + staff underground bunkers along the border. Deploy sensors to detect incursions. Have pilots ready with attack FPVs + bomber UAVs to respond to any incursions with lethal force.

I'd be curious if any other fixed wing planes are used for this -- Mirage, etc. There was a report yesterday that Ukraine used the 30mm cannon on a Mirage to intercept a Banderol missile. I'm guessing that Ukraine has more F16s than Mirages, and maybe they just use Mirage in a single sector?

I'm sure Russian soldiers are loving the new DIY-refined aviation fuels that are now being supplied for Russian helicopters and planes ever since most of the major refineries went offline. The new stuff probably makes every flight more exciting, adding an additional layer of suspense.

If Russia is actively using T54 or T55 tanks in 2026, they're probably low in inventories of T72 or anything newer. I'm not saying they have zero tanks newer than this one, but they probably wouldn't be using a T54 if they had large inventories of T72 or newer tanks.

This needs to be scaled. The best way to stop Russia is not to cause attrition to Russians in Ukraine. The best way is to attrit the Russian army inside Russia. As Russia mobilizes troops, the buses, trains, transport vehicles, etc carrying them should be hit inside Russia before the border.

This is exactly right. Trump cannot personally profit from trade deals with Denmark or Canada because they won't bribe him. That's why he has good relations with Russia, N Korea, countries in the Middle East, etc. He has more opportunities to personally make $ by doing deals with autocrats.

The exchange of political prisoners for lifting sanctions has now been done repeatedly by the USA. Twice with Belarus & now the proposal with Russia. It's a pretext to help Putin that Trump can justify as being done for "humanitarian reasons." Somewhere, there is a quid-pro-quo for Trump or family

Bo French talks about how "Americans have been displaced by foreigners". There's no rule in TX that a white person has to leave the state if a brown person moves in. The presence of brown-skinned people in TX does not mean white people are being "displaced". Displacement/replacement is a fallacy.

The narrative from the far Left on Russia's invasion of Ukraine is non-sensical. Part of the far-Left spews nonsense rhetoric that the USA is only imperialist force in the world. Then another part of the Left makes illogical excuses as they harbor sentimentality for the USSR. Dishonest narratives.

Europe and Ukraine should maintain maximal pressure on Russia. G20 countries with leaders who care about human rights should refuse to attend if Putin attends. Still, I disagree that the war can only end with a total defeat of Russia. That may happen. I hope so. But it could also end in a freeze.

ordinary-observer.bsky.social @ordinary-observer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Russia is an authoritarian country. Putin could make a speech TOMORROW and say that Russia is going to freeze the conflict and declare victory because the nazi west is conspiring against it. This doesn't mean that European countries should return to business as usual with Russia or give in.

I cannot tell for sure, but these nets appear to be made out of some type of plastic material, in which case the netting is probably highly flammable. If there's any ignition at the site and any oil/fuel tank catches fire, the netting over the site may spread fire throughout the site.

Developing a hotel in Tbilisi would give Trump an easy way to continue to take money from Putin-linked Russian oligarchs. It's better than doing it in Florida because the USA government has no jurisdiction to investigate illegal USA Emoluments Clause violations in Georgia.

I used to wonder if European countries + Canada would cancel orders for the F35 due to concerns that the USA would one day refuse to ship spare parts. But maybe they'll just stop buying F35 over concerns that Lockheed + the USA government are too incompetent to be able to reliably ship spare parts.

European countries should take a more-active role in seizing Russian shadow-fleet ships transiting the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Mediterranean Sea as well as the English channel. Russia's recent attacks on European countries aren't "hybrid attacks". They're state-sponsored terrorism.

Was this a daytime strike? If so then they probably hit some skilled assembly workers, engineers, and/or managers at the company. Russian drones are truly used for terrorism. They hit buses, grocery stores, heating plants in winter... It's reasonable to also hit the engineering/assembly crews.

Absurd. Canada is not a colony of the USA. It's an independent country. Canada can sell their oil products, Potash fertilizer, maple syrup, hockey sticks, metals, minerals and whatever else to any country in the world. USA trade extortion + other threats will only isolate + weaken the USA economy.

Any lifting of sanctions against Belarus creates a backdoor that allows Russia to import sanctioned weapons components and machinery for producing weapons through Belarus.

This intimidation is pretty silly. Members of EU air forces must be scratching their heads. If there was an actual war and Russians tried to fly a Tu-95 + some Su-33s over Scandinavia, they would be destroyed by Meteor missiles from Swedish Gripens before they even came within 50km of Finland.

If Russia stops bombing energy they'll switch to terrorizing hospitals, universities, etc.
