Something that randomly just occured to me: what's true for the Russian airlines operating western aircraft is also true for the multitude if militaries that operate Soviet and Russian built aircraft (and presumably tanks, weapons, and ships, to a lesser degree). Outside of Russia the only facility factory authorized to overhaul MiG and Sukhoi aircraft is in Zaporzhizhia. (Obviously the factory authorized part may have changed since 2014) I think India has that ability for it's Su-30MKIs since they build them locally (don't quote me on that, though.) But all the other operators are SOL once their overhaul periods come up. I don't imagine that, say, Peru is going to want to send their MiG-29SMPs or Su-22s to Russia now.

(Obviously the factory authorized part may have changed since 2014) There will probably be a booming market for aftermarket parts made by non Russian countries. Apparently RUAG makes their own parts for the F4, so I'm sure we'll see something similar for the multitude of leftover Soviet stuff.

There have been times when ships under construction were commandeered by the shipyard’s nation at the outbreak of war. I don’t know about ships that had already been delivered and returned

Looks like the talking points have been solidified and Russia is back on it's social media game. Some Qanon whack job bullshit got filtered through to the troll farms and is being pumped in to the brains of all the right wing idiots. You're probably already hearing the camel's-nose-under-the-tent version of this from anybody loving stupid enough to watch Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour. It's the usual playbook of the wide spread soft introduction followed by "do your research!" to get people in to the really insane poo poo. The REAL TRUTH is that Fauci had secret biolabs in Ukraine with Biden's blessing working on COVID 2.0 that are ethnically selective that Trump was trying to unmask but [insert favorite out group here] stopped him with their perfidious scheming and impeached him in the process so Russia had to defend themselves with a full scale invasion. The conspiracy will change to meet the needs of reality, of course, but for now that's the kernel of corn in the propaganda poo poo pile.

Ukraine is going to have a wild arms buyback program after this, or there's going to be a robust cottage industry of disabling the weapons on these tanks. Having that stuff hanging out after the war is asking for trouble.

Looks like Russia thinks they have figured out how this amphibious assault works. https://twitter.com/CovertShores/status/1503732767569420296 Any bets on if they even make it to shore? Did the last attempt get blown up/had a riot on a ship?

If he stops being all talk and threatens to leave the GOP unless they expel openly white supremacist or qanon members of Congress from the party, or if he makes reasonable requests for Biden's legislation to be revised in exchange for his support, then I'll take him seriously. Until then he's just a palette swapped McConnell. "We are really the only significant experiment in democracy and preserving liberal democracy is an extraordinary challenge” ok why don't you get yourself arrested protesting voter disenfranchisement at the Texas capitol, or endorse national voting by mail or making election day a holiday?

From what little I've seen, the Ukrainians have been reinforcing and readying themselves to defend against an assault in Odessa. I'd imagine that their weapons systems and defenses are something they're keeping off of social media. I hope the Ukrainians can make the beaches run with Russian blood.
