I'm Kroby kesm too!

I find this very reassuring

No they are as close as they can get without getting nuked by isisrael. If the inspectors see them push past a certain point they'll tattle.

So the first article never has Putin drawing lines that get crossed its always a tv personality or a military official or the usa arguing with themselves over whether it would be too much of a provocation. Same with the Wikipedia red lines, they don't have Putin drawing the line or they have a response.

There have been times when Putin has said definitively "don't do x or we will y" and he has followed through every time as far as I am aware. Like with cluster munitions, (which didn't get on the list) he said "don't send cluster munitions or we will start using them too" and they did and Russia did.

He could also just cut off some funding from said state.

"People" taking a break from murdering children. Sitting around smiling as they set their plushies of fire.

These are the "civilians" killed by Palestinians on October 7th. All the women and children were killed by the IDF.

F16s cant get to Russia from ukraine. The F16s need a clean runway because their air intake isn't shielded from debris. So any air field that has rocks on it is ruled out. If there are any airfields that aren't getting hit on the regular they would be in western ukraine and the F16 only has a 1000km operation range.

Wait which red lines didn't Putin respond to?

Russia doesn't have to hit nato territory to respond. They could hit us bases in Iraq or Syria no problem.

Couldn't he just pardon himself?

For the first time in a year, opinion polls show that a majority of the Israeli population would back Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election if ballots were to be held today.

A survey presented by Channel 12 News on 29 May found that 36 percent of the electorate prefers Netanyahu

36% is a majority in israel?

What I mean by maneuverability is a copter can launch from a small clearing without the operator leaving cover for more than a second or two. A fixed wing has minimum range limitations, it needs lateral space to climb to a height where it can see its target and thus need much more time in the air.

They need drones to be able to get airborne, pick out the target, and strike, without getting spotted by opposing spotter drones. All that has to be done in a limited amount of range because once you get too far the signals get jammed.

Fixed wing cant hover or suddely change direction.

early on it was just shy of 400 military and police but that was before the 200 Palestinians were identified and the total went to 1200. Looks like in December the official count changed to 373 military and police and 695 settlers.

They see Russian red lines and have no choice but to cross them. The abusive relationship between the hegemon and its vassals doesn't have good communication channels. The vassals are aware of who their master's enemies are, but not the plans to defeat the enemies. (not that such a plan exists) Thus the vassals are left to their own devises to determine how to please their master. In the absence of direct instructions, if an enemy makes it clear what actions will upset them, the vassals will surely do it, because hurting the master's enemy is likely to please the master.

My galaxy brained take: Putin understand this and wants an attack on Russia proper so he can escalate and say "I warned you." Maybe a nuke or a strike on a nuclear power plant. Slow inevitable crushing defeat isn't getting the west to give up so maybe a big shocking slap in the face is what they need to shake the cobwebs loose. He means to use nukes the way usa says they used them in Japan. "to end the war sooner"

The official tally was 800ish people (edit: latest tally is 695 israelis) who weren't acting duty soldiers or police but there is no accounting how many died from israeli's hannibal doctrine and a large number of settlers will have had military training and weapons at their homes.

Settlers being in occupied territories is a war crime specifically because civilians shouldn't be in war zones. israel is responsible for every settler's death.

Filth means poop. DPRK sent balloons with burning paper bags of poop onto occupied korea's front porch
