    Very. I've long wondered about the wisdom of relying on GPS.

    @Mik said in The Ukraine war thread:

    relying on GPS

    The military has been testing GPS interference technology off the coast of North Carolina for at least 15 years that I know about.

    They still do it regularly. The FAA publishes notices to pilots letting them know when this testing is being done.

    I have no idea what they are actually doing, but they are working on it.

                Realistically, I believe Crimea was lost ten years ago when Putin undertook his first anschluss of sovereign Ukrainian territory. Back then it was a cheap buffet to graze and forage.

                No longer the case.

                          It's war and understandable. The problem comes in what do your neighboring countries - those that may be affected by a widening conflict - think about it? After all, Ukraine is getting a lot of weapons from countries in Europe.

                            I am sure the Orban in Hungary and Slovakia’s Pellegrini and Fico are not pleased with it. But what else can you expect from co-opted Kremlin friendly populist nationalists?

                            Neither supply much of anything in terms of military assistance to Kyiv. The good neighbours that do supply such as Poland, Romania, Lithuania and the remainder of European NATO membership, have no qualms about these incursions into Russia.

                                There's some revulsion at an invading nation that targets civilians then cries no fair when you hit back.

                                      The inferiority complex is what feeds the Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality of the Russian mentality.
