There was a map tracking reported attacks that indicated a spearhead had reached the north side of Kyiv. If it was the armor that supposedly came out of Belarus, they might have a position set up that isn't capable of actually pressing into the city but can make the airspace above unpleasant.

Just about anything can carry a mobile SAM if the CNN stuff is right. They said the initial fireball was below the clouds. So it probably too low for a proper AA battery. But who knows

It's 4 hours ahead of today which was 12+ hours after war started

I bet his handlers were operating on a office work mentality and didn't think Putin would actually do anything until 5pm on a Friday so they were working Biden up to making a coherent speech Friday or Saturday but got caught off guard

i see 137 as military+civilians, but that seems extremely unlikely. I've seen a few suggestions of "hundreds" of civilians but like I'm in the COVID thread a lot and most countries can't even keep count of how many people die in their own hospitals as a live update so I figure that we'll probably see people fighting over the number killed in history departments for decades.

i dunno if it's an official thing but the way that media has taken to reporting on casualties is that they only report what has been "confirmed" for whatever level of confirmation seems appropriate. it is supposed to deal with the problem where media would report "as many as X killed" based on guesses, estimates, missing people, etc. that would then have to be walked back when specific numbers were known. there was a lot of talk about it a while back because a number of conspiracy theories used those initial reports and the subsequent lower numbers to vaguely gesture at something sinister happening. so now we get implausibly low numbers being reported instead and we're supposed to read between the lines that the actual death tolls are going to be much, much worse.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Why are they meeting? I figured NATO members would have wargamed out a list of contingencies and would be responding from that list. What are they discussing? Telling members not to funnel arms to an insurgency?
