Cool stuff AN 124 on the other hand read somewhere that the AN225 was destroyed during an attack on Hostomel airport Ukraine this morning it a rumor not confirmed yet.
Appears to be little confirmed news coming out of the airport on the AN225 condition. Guess we will wait and see.
A tired-looking empty boat safely ashore seems like a subliminal message. With over a thousand small boats arriving on the south coast of England every week from France; desperate war refugees from Iraq Afghanistan and Syria will always remember their boats crossing the English Channel. Travel visa not required.

Wow! Looks like England has a boarder issue similar to Texas, albeit a fraction of the scale!

Thanks Nick! I was a history major in college and the olde structures of the World, and their relation to it, awe me and fascinate me.

The only logical outcome of those stupid sanctions that "may" take a month, is to punish Americans for using fossil fuels.

The sanctions don't even apply to Russia's energy sector, because the Europeans need them, AND the USA still buys oil from Russia, thanks to Joey, who is eating ice cream at his Delaware beach house this weekend when the Ukraine president is leading his people fighting on the streets. We are financing Russia's war. Russia just secured a $500 billion energy contract with China during the Winter Olympics, and China just announced huge importation of wheat from Russia. I am sure Xi is itching to take Taiwan.
As an American who grew up in China, I will say this though, yes, Russia is thuggish,but aside from nukes, it's no match to the US/W Europe because of the size of its population and economy. But communist China remains the #1 long term threat because of its size in both the population and economy. The West has raised a tiger cub that will bite them. All the presidents in the last 30 years were dead wrong on China, except Trump. Clinton was the worst in that aspect. Wall Street, Google, Apple, Microsoft, NBA, and many other US corporations who shipped the US jobs to China are selling their soul to the devil, no different than the U.S. born skier Eileen Gu, who just won two gold metals for China, she did it for the money (possibly $100 million in endorsements in China).
Not a strategist or military mind by any means, I think if the Ukrainians are willing to fight street and street and wage guerrilla warfare, they will bleed Russia to death sooner or later. We just need to look at Iraq and Afghanistan....The question is, are there enough Ukrainians ready to die for their country?

Well Douglas, you said it about wall st and corp America in China. For 30+ years they have dictated the policy in China, apparently the Presidents were just their puppets. I can't help to think that the people of Ukraine might have been better off before the democrats flipped the Ukraine government and took over the country. The citizens don't have much say in these matters and ultimately pay the price. Who thought it was a good idea to play games on a nuclear superpowers border? Situation is sad.
