So, to return to our moutons (sheep), now we have Putain basically doing tit for tat with sanctions, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/10/world/europe/russia-economy-ukraine.html, by getting ready to nationalize foreign business assets in Russia. Not sure how a corporate accountant is going to record that in the ledgers, but it certainly was to be expected. And better swapping hostage manufacturing equipment or swiping leased airplanes than a nuclear strike somewhere.

The equipment and airplanes aren't going to be much good for long without spare parts, maintenance, software updates, etc.

Not just the military planes ...

Dublin-based AerCap, the world’s biggest airplane-leasing company, owns “152 aircraft across Russia and Ukraine valued at almost $2.4 billion,” Two other Dublin-based companies own 48 aircraft leased to Russian airlines.

E.U. sanctions require those companies to repossess all those planes by the end of March. Boeing and Airbus announced that they will no longer service or provide spare parts for any of these planes.

Russia spans 11 time zones. The grip of the Russian central government over the Russian landmass could begin to loosen. The Russian Far East cities are closer to Beijing than to Moscow.
 
We are discussing the war. Nobody is saying nasty things about anybody else or attacking posters or dragging in unnecessary references to American political memes. Really, what is the problem? We are a group of online acquaintances who are discussing the world in which we live.

I think we'd all be better informed if you could be more specific? Which post(s) is/are your issue?

I hope it's not just the actual subject, because as members we do have opinions on how to deal with the Trolls - and of course you and the rest of the EBR staff have the ultimate power in that process.
You may or may have not seen my personal opinion in that regard - and you have also heard from me when I felt someone crossed "the line".

As others have mentioned quite well (for example @ChezCheese:) ) the discourse is reasonable and friendly.
Personally, I don't see a problem, although I don't always read every post.

I spend a bit of time here - and I do choose what I absorb and what I share.
Some threads, not many thankfully, are being destroyed by a select few.
Some I add to my Ignore list because they NEVER add anything useful - some I just skim past.

There's been some pretty rude behavior too (non political) in some of the other forums, and my wish would be a bit more understanding and empathy was employed across the board at times, but that's just life in general too.
The EBR "OFF - TOPIC" area is just an extension of the world we live in - and IMHO the discussions going on in this thread is just that (for now).

President Biden: "We will not fight the third world war in Ukraine."

President Biden said during a visit Friday to Pennsylvania that the U.S. supports Ukraine in the war against Russia up to what Russia will consider an act of war.

"The idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in, American pilots and American crews, just understand. Don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War Three, okay?" Biden said in his serious-sounding staccato tone.

Czechoslovakia was sacrificed back in 1938 but it didn't stop the WW II.
