The last time I saw anything flying over the Black Sea was on 7/26; British Rivet Joint w/2 Eurofighters. IIRC, the Russians intercepted them. Haven't seen any of our drones since the Russians said it would no longer be tolerated. A Poseidon P8A still patrols over the coast of Romania fairly regularly, but they're also using them off the coast of Israel/Lebanon/Syria. Looks like the Global Hawk has been moved to Poland from the Black Sea, where its patrolling along the border(s) of Belarus & Kaliningrad, occasionally into Estonia along the Russian border.
If anyone also reads Simplicius the Thinker's blog, he just posted a whopper with some very interesting developments concerning the ME.
Yeh Cass, I don’t need it either, but I fear that a war is imminent.
As Doug Macgregor pointed out the other day, these people don’t live in the world that you and I inhabit and don’t comprehend the “real world consequences” of
such stupidity. Don’t think it’s a question of if anymore, just trying to figure out when.
They think emotionally, and have no second-level thinking skills. They are going to get an almighty beating. That's good for the rest of the world - as long as they don't kick over the chessboard when they lose and go nuclear.
+100 Why should anyone, truly, give a flying fk about a culture in which "anything goes" and therefore no values are firm/fixed? Complete anomie is, indeed, chaos (preferred to 'anarchy' but I won't whine on about it). And the putative leaders openly and proudly rub everybody's noses in it. It really is as though they are inviting us to rebel so that they can order in the riot squads.
About time too. This should have been done months ago.

I've got better things to do too, Cass! Oh, well! :)
