Putin himself can't launch the missiles, it is his commanders. Would they push the button when Putin gave the order, knowing what the results would be.

That’s a crapshoot. Depends on what scares them most, Putin or nuclear retaliation. You’d like to think it would be the latter.
Now if you ask that question about Kim and North Korea…launch or death by flamethrower firing squad, the devil you know rather than the devil you don’t.

Well, GLONASS has been integrated into our survey software and I am a bit concerned about reliability...I haven't seen anything on the professional boards to that effect, but in many ways, since we do not perceive ourselves as directly involved, I wonder if anyone is even thinking about it...
Apparently Japan officially declared the Southern Kurils, sovereign Japanese land. Login • Instagram

Yeah. You know I'm wondering what's on those islands now. I mean in 2014 they put a data collection station in Crimea after "annexing" it. If the Japanese poke the Bear on these islands it might be over something juicier than just "Hey assholes, look over here!"
Sorry, my imagination is on overload these days. I gave up hard alcohol for lent.

So apparently Ukrainian Artillery sunk this ship off the coast of Odessa...using a captured Russian MLRS system.
Ship is for sure sunk though, lols.

Yo, very hard to prosecute a war when you have no secure comms and your radios don't work...

OK, I read this quickly on my phone first. So, a patrol ship, not a battleship...but still. And MLRS, not old school artillery...but, again, still!
I thought I detected a disturbance in the Force...

Yep. Mama's off her meds.
I think the Japanese are doing just that, giving the Bear a little jab in the ass while its attention is diverted. An minor irritation for Putin at the moment but nothing more. From what I gather Russian communities are pretty firmly ensconced on those islands.
Now pour yourself a stiff shot and forget this silly lent business.

Biden expected to sanction/embargo Russian POL.

I'm good with that if he told our oil companies that it was open season, but he isn't. He's still for destroying our internal energy sector while courting Venezuela and Iran to get their oil. Which is freaking wild.

I'm sure this was as well thought out as the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Which is to say, it wasn't planned or thought out well at all.
Besides, good ol' Jen Psaki tells us we're still receiving all the oil Keystone would've provided, it's just coming in through different methods.
