Birds are chirping on the Independence Square live stream. It’s beautiful.

I think this was the original plan but the US flat out saying that he was planning a Ukrainian invasion made him change tactics and go with the whole “we’re de-Nazifying Ukraine” angle instead.

Does anyone know - can our satellites track vehicles through clouds? Or is that still a barrier? If so is there any other way that doesn’t involve a big international incident?

This is also the least dramatic Friday on UP in months.

Yeah seems like it.

The math depends on how much damage they can do with 20% of their nuclear capability.

Biden actually did a pretty good job cutting him off at the pass on that stuff by just predicting everything he was going to/might do.

Guessing the Communist party doesn’t have a ton of pull in Russia anymore?

I am pretty sure Russia, US, Israel and probably other countries (China?) have several subs cruising around on the bottom of the ocean undetectable that can all surface and fire multiple nukes a long distance.

An incapacitating first strike isn’t really an option, and never has been.
