Re: War with Russia

Disappointed with Austria, might rethink Glock until or unless they change their stance.
I am understanding of neutrality stance Austria is trying to hold to a point, BUT, here we are dealing with a regime that is conducting industrial scale war crimes following a invasion of a sovereign Country.
My personal appetite for apologists and inhibitors of freedoms hiding under ideological curtains and political charades is no more.

“Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg spoke at the 14th European media summit this week, saying that Ukraine should not receive candidate status in June.

I understand they want to go through Ramstein (sp.), but why not just take them directly to Ukraine? Why doesn't Poland just tell Ukraine to send some pilots over and we'll let them fly the planes back to Ukraine?

I don't get it. It sounds so simple.
Logistically I think there is more than meets the eye. Poland would not just give their fighter jets without some re-supply to their fleet. Then it is who will re-supply them. If it is US, then we would (I assume) have to prep the re-supply aircraft such that sensitive/proprietary technology is removed, as an example.
That’s my best view.

About two weeks ago, Putin said that sanctions were an act of war. Does this mean he has just declared war on the US?
One thing that has emerged over the last 20 days is clarity of Russian military ineptitude. With that in mind, we are of course a NATO Country so, war declaration against US would trigger article 5 and I’m not so sure that Pukin is into that. He thought he’d just bully his way through Ukraine and that has even proven rather rough for that pig. I don’t believe he declared war on US, Russia wouldn’t be on a map had (or if he) tried that.
