Yeah, that is highly likely. I don’t think Era has been deployed outside of command level because how else does one explain why some of the KIA artillery officers seemed to have early 2000 Nokias?

Oh hell I should have followed the thread back, I didn’t even think it went back.

But so if what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, then shouldn’t they be happy if NATO invades them to stop ‘any war that could start from’ Russia?

They’ve been launching them?!? That’ll do more damage than a nuke on landing, no wonder there’s so much destruction.
The article claims it is the Pentagon reporting
Thank you @bobatkinson.

With all of the blowback to everything Russian right now, the story behind Stolichnya vodka (everywhere but in Russia) is interesting. The head of the Stoli Group, Yuri Shefler, was exiled from Russia in 2000. They’ve been making it in Latvia.
Stoli Group wrote that this rebrand ending its use of the full Stolichnaya name came as a “direct response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” with three factors playing into the decision: “the founder’s vehement position on the Putin regime; the Stoli employees determination to take action; and the desire to accurately represent Stoli’s roots in Latvia.”
“While I have been exiled from Russia since 2000 due to my opposition to Putin, I have remained proud of the Stolichnaya brand,” Shefler said in the announcement. “We have made the decision to rebrand entirely as the name no longer represents our organization. More than anything, I wish for ‘Stoli’ to represent peace in Europe and solidarity with Ukraine.”

Well Russia hasn’t specifically cited our preemptive war in Iraq, but those are kind of the implications no?
No we can’t preempt Russia.

I didn’t know you were talking about Russian Personnel. I missed an earlier comment you made. I thought you were talking about US troops.
My apologies.

The Balkans are also embers from the post-Soviet post-Tito empire with the complications from a volatile crucible of at least three violent proselytizing religions.

In this case of the Russians the answer is easy. The Ukraine Special Operation War criminal action will end when they love their children more then they love President Putin (or stop fearing him).

Putin is a murderer.
Really.
A cold-blooded murderer.
I wish the Russian government was weaker. The people of Russia are so much better than Putin.

If Ukraine ceases to exist then there’s no way to fight a war on its territory…just like what happened to Poland at the beginning of WWII?
