Sanctions against Russia

Leading from Behind:
U.S. to Ban Russian Flights From American Airspace
Move follows similar prohibitions by European and Canadian authorities
The U.S. government will ban Russian aircraft from American airspace, broadening aviation restrictions as the West expands sanctions over the war in Ukraine, President Biden said Tuesday during his State of the Union address.
“Tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights—further isolating Russia—and adding an additional squeeze on their economy,” Mr. Biden said.
Orders blocking Russian aircraft and airlines from entering U.S. airspace will be effective by the end of Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday evening.
The sweeping orders will mean any plane owned, certified, operated, registered, chartered, leased, or controlled by, for, or for the benefit of a person who is a citizen of Russia will be prohibited from flying over the U.S., the agencies said. The prohibition applies to scheduled and charter passenger and cargo flights.

In the twitter thread, someone commented that the US has at least 10 US manufacturers of rocket motors from which to choose. I have no knowledge if that's true.
MAGRA!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

According to MIL, people our age or older are not buying any of the BS. People under 30 though are buying it hook, line and sinker. The middle generation is mixed although the sanctions will definitely hit them hardest especially in the large cities. The rural areas though are firmly behind Putin.

According to social media—which everyone here has access to by the way so there's no need to guess—this is pretty much what's going on, although it seems that not all young people are buying it.
...then again my definition of "young people" might need some recalibration. I'm old now.
Please love yourself.

Too lazy to look up the details, but it was maybe 10-12 years ago Orbital had a rocket blow up on the pad at Wallops Island.
It was a Russian rocket, supplied to Orbital, that blew up. I talked to the guy who was buying those Russian rockets (former Shuttle and Station commander). At the time those were the only option. Although they continued to use Russian rockets for a while, that explosion gave incentive to make more American rockets available.

All right, all right. Very funny.
Just wait until you fuck up some inconsequential detail. Then I'll have you!
