Possible, but these are also the type of aircraft you would expect to see in mass during any naval conflict or blockading action against China. I believe the PLAAF/PLAN are working on their version of Rapid Dragon.

Relatively slow, but plentiful, cargo planes, would be a pretty obvious choice for launching a saturation attack against USN or Japanese forces operating outside the range of their land based missiles. Again, assuming they develop a similar system to Rapid Dragon.

This isn't reconnaissance, it's standard airspace incursion and intercept.

Everyone here seems to be a really hawkish as of late, or possibly just having a very poor understanding of international relations.

Yes, you can.

Russia and Turkey have very different political dynamics than China and Japan.

Also, these types of airspace incursions, followed by intercepts, are pretty standard amongst major powers.

It doesn't mean they're benign, but that shooting down Chinese planes intentionally as a response, is something you do if you're willing and ready for the escalation path to result in open conflict, not simply an escalation.

What benefit? What doubt?

None of the other possibilities reflect well on Russia either.

There's nothing in that article that provides any information as to how and why the hotel was struck, just that it was struck.

You can acknowledge Putin is a violent dictator, without pretending that he's some cartoon villain. Evil is more complex than that, and so is war.

I'm assuming they meant that they were company phones, and that additionally they were required for any work related MFA requirements.

If that's the case, it would be YubiKey in addition to, not instead of.

As for the time tracking software, those are often part of a much larger accounting, payroll, and/or HR software suite. Having his team spin up Windows vms, or even have separate older windows boxes somewhere, probably makes more financial sense than not. At least, until they can switch to a more modern suite that has a web portal.

B2B cold lead generation is illegal in Germany?

Because of Russia's vast geography and relatively limited waterway access, it's better to think of their different fleets almost as individual smaller navies.

Especially in the context of the Black Sea fleet and Turkey's ability to restrict access of military vessels through Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits because of the Montreux Convention.

So to answer your question under that more narrow scope, I believe it's roughly 20% of the Black Sea fleet has been destroyed.

That becomes moot when it's war, and the coverage in question is about the internal political situation of the people they are currently fighting. The same applies to any country at war, and their domestic press coverage of their opposing force, or country.

Does this mean I should use AJ to source credible information on internal Israeli politics? How about Russia Today for reporting on Ukrainian morale?

Seriously, stop posting wartime propaganda and pretending it's credible journalism.

I don't know, I feel it brings something...a bit of good cheer and comic relief, which is always needed when discussing....checks notes... Ah yes, colonial settler violence, indigenous displacement, and ethnic cleansing.

The judge was the literal child of Uganda. Because she displeased his parents (Uganda), they disowned her. They even disinvited her from all upcoming family birthday parties and witch burnings.

Or maybe they meant distanced,* like it says in article. I don't know, pick whichever version of events you prefer, that's what I always do.

  • Uganda distanced itself Friday from Julia Sebutinde...
