Idiots, all of them. Thousands of people on Michigan Ave marching with Ukrainian flags screaming “Close the sky.” The mainstream media has done an awful awful job explaining what a No Fly Zone means. It’s not like a bubble goes over Ukraine and the Russians will just say shucks and not cross it. It’s World War III.
All the podcasts I listen to from the furthest Left to furthest Right are all very vocal that we can not do a No Fly Zone, but morons like Chuck Todd and George Stephanopolis are intentionally trying to cause World War III for the ratings. If I agree with Jen Psaki or Antony Blinken on anything, something has clearly gone horribly wrong.

I like it. It will be the battle song of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion.

U.S. is NOT confirming that Russian Maj. Gen. Vitaly Gerasimov was killed in Ukraine.
Gerasimov is believed to be the NEPHEW of Russia's top military official.

Feels like 1977 all over again, without the partying. Russians running amok, inflation... just need super high interest rates and sex, drugs and rock n roll will be hot again.
Jimmy Carter redux.
No wonder US will never be able to move out from under the corporatocracy it has created. It is so good at getting the populace to pull the hood down over their own eyes.

Just off the phone with an officer from Ukraine's military intelligence service (GUR). Someone I've known now for four years who's often rolled his eyes at official Ukrainian government pronouncements. A few observations/comments:
I asked how his spirits were holding up. Answer: "Now is not the time for crying; now is the time for laughing."
He meant at Russia's military performance and its enormous losses in manpower and firepower in the field.
"They have lost far more than they expected. That is why they started peace negotiations on the second day of the war."
"Yesterday, they lost 30 helicopters in the vicinity of Kherson where our marines destroyed them. The government announced this. Frankly speaking, it's true."
"There was also some evidence for the loss of two aircraft in the airspace around Kyiv."
"Our mood: Everything is OK. We are defending our soil, our Motherland. We have nothing to lose. They are conquerors. They are the fascists. And we will win. I have no doubt."
I asked about all the Russian deserters abandoning their undamaged tanks, BTRs, air defense systems. Where did they go and where are they now?
"They fled into the woods. Sometimes they're marodyory [looters, marauders]. Even according to our interceptions we can determine many are robbing civilian houses and occupying them."
"We also have evidence that even when the Russians occupy villages and towns they face resistance. In Kyiv they will meet extremely tough Territorial Defense."
He also confirmed the majority of Ukraine's Air Force is still in tact, on Day 12, including fixed wing and rotary aircraft. I asked how many operational Bayraktar TB2 drones Ukraine has in its arsenal. He laughed. "OK, Michael, can I just say: 'It's enough.'" // END

Poland sending entire fleet of MiG29 to US; US expected to send them to Ukraine and replace Poland’s fleet
Politico 2 days ago with more detail
Can’t wait for that nuclear war Biden is about to get us into
quote:
Warsaw asked the White House if the Biden administration could guarantee it would provide them with U.S.-made fighter jets to fill the gap. The White House said it would look into the matter. The Biden administration didn’t oppose the Polish government giving Kyiv the MiGs, which could potentially escalate tensions between NATO and Moscow.

Polish Statement- (translated) The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations with the President and the Government of the Republic of Poland, are ready to immediately transfer all their MIG-29 planes free of charge to the base in Ramstein

At the same time, Poland is asking the United States of America to provide it with used aircraft with similar operational capabilities.
Wait so we're discussing not only replacing these for Poland, but taking ownership of the MIGs as middleman?
Sounds less than ideal

Yes the breaking911 tweet just amended the title.
Poland is sending the used fleet to the US who will apparently provide them to Ukraine.
US will then replace Poland’s fleet

I'm ok with it. It's about time I give up this desk job and get to farming my backyard and fending off radioactive cockroaches. I should brush up on Fallout 4.

Here's the official Polish gov't website and statement. Google Translate is your friend.

Is the translation from the tweet inaccurate or something?
