Serbia is not a NATO member - thankfully. Again, use Article 51 under the UN - Collective self defense. The key would be to ensure that if it comes down to it, a rump state Ukraine must not allow a land border between Hungary and Russia.

Does your version of #2 include the acceptance of Ukraine into NATO and/or the EU? Because if it doesn't then its just another version of #3

At this point in the game, I just don't see any scenario where Poland and to a lessor extent, the Baltics, just stand back idly and let Ukraine fall. Even the Germans may be forced to act as they completely understand that if Poland were to fall next that they would be on frontlines once again...

Any sense of how many knots the ships were moving at?

It king of like saying, 'Oh, I don't care about the spread of radical Islam, I'm agnostic.'

An angry Potato Bug!

That's one hell of a game of chicken being played out.

Ahhh, so 'Ukraine' for now since it contains a large number of those who don't self identify themselves as being 'Ukrainian' though they are citizens of 'Ukraine'. So until those 'Ukrainian's' who don't identify themselves as being 'Ukrainian' are allowed to either leave 'Ukraine' by their...

And as of now, no formal date for the RFP has been made public, correct?

Did the French actually submit a formal bid to the RFI? Where they required to do so in order to move on to the current stage that we are now at?

Shortly Poland will be in a position to ensure that Ukraine does not go completely under. I would NOT rule out Poland obtaining its own nukes to counter any threat that may come from Russia. The longer the war continues, the more time Poland has and the stronger it becomes.

Well, I could easily use the Serb-Croat war at the beginning of the Yugo Civil War, would that make you happier? Milosevic and his merry gang talked ad nauseum about 'protecting' all the Serbs living outside of Serbia proper and the creating of a 'Greater Serbia'.

The article says that supposedly there are 5 subs in the running for the project - from Spain, Germany, France, South Korea and Sweden. I didn't think that the Sweden one fit the requirements.

The part - 'is sensitive to the treatment of ethnic Russians Germans in former Soviet Union republics German territory' - sounds familiar to me, but for the life of me I can't place where I've heard it before.......

I wonder if Trump will include Sara Palin in the negotiations, after all she used to live next to Russia.

European company bidding to build a dozen navy submarines seeking partners in B.C. Canada plans to buy subs 'off the shelf' from an ally's shipyard but is expected to generate substantial domestic participation, particularly in West Coast maintenance. Germans quietly lining things up...

Doesn’t set a wonderful dinner place setting for us…..

Give the Ukrainians the green light to attempt regime change in Russia if Zelenskyy is willing to risk his own life in the process.

As I’ve said, would love it if his plane somehow got diverted to the Yukon and we somehow got him shipped off to Den Hague.

Will be interesting to see over the next 4-12 weeks what this does in terms of creating new 'foot traffic' on the CAF recruiting website and/or offices. A starting pay of 52k/yr for a PTE is a solid starting salary.
