    The Germans have already chosen Hitler once.
    Elections are a dangerous lottery.

    They should act like a third world nation that needs money from other countries.

    The first RAF jets that got GPS were the Jaguars for the Gulf War. The GPSs were civilian units again basically "taped to the dashboard". It's a handy, very accurate, double-check to visual navigation, especially in places without too many visual features, like deserts, or major rearrangements to the scenery like a war zone. One isn't relying on it if one knows how to navigate anyway.....so therein lies the question I reckon.

    I was thinking about the same thing - shouldn’t pilots be able to navigate without the GPS?

    The Global Positioning System is a constellation of orbiting satellites that provides navigation data to military and civilian users all over the world. The system is operated and controlled by the 50th Space Wing, located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo.

    No they haven't. A coup is not a democratic election - except maybe in Washington's Orwellian dictionary.

    Who will play the role of a nuclear counterbalance for the United States in order to maintain the existing multipolar world order?

    The war seems to have brought them together. If what you say is true then Ukraine would have fallen. Clearly they don't want Russian control in most of the country.

    I'm not sure of the ins and outs of piloting a jet fighter, however Su-34s fighter jets were put into service in Russia in 2014. I doubt that civilian a GPS strapped to the dash was part of the original design.

    If you're a liberal yes, otherwise I don't think so. Biden true to form, is now establishing his Ministry of Truth. And what is the 'truth'? Well it will be what Biden and his handlers say it is of course.

    When Elon Musk said there are 'dark forces' (Satanic?) at work and feared for his life, it reminded me of another person and another time. Felix Yussopov said the same thing before the Russian revolution, which had caused the murder of tens of millions of Christians and the destruction of 50 thousand churches and gave the Russian people 70 years of slavery.

    Yussopov even pointed out a mansion in particular that belonged to a Montenegrin princess. She and her sister had married Grand Dukes and he said that all the evil in the world is in that house for they had introduced 'Necromancy' in Russia - something which was quite fashionable in Europe.


    When Bill Clinton said that Hillary converses with Eleanor Roosevelt everyday, even though she was dead for 70 years, I noticed that he didn't hesitate in saying it - which meant that it was common practice among his peers.

    There is no reason to behave like Belarus.

    Not to be pedant, but as for I know Russia hasn't declared war on Ukraine yet.
    It's not a detail: at Moscow they know that it would be a no return ticket ...

    Belarusians would have already been drawn into a war with Russia and would have had tens of thousands dead for the sake of Washington's world domination.

    ...I have a feeling its to do with the cockpit configuration and the MFDs they have...these Russian jets, whilst outwardly they look modern and as sexy as hell under the skin they're really only about up to the technical level of an F/A-18A but if you look at the current crop of NATO jets they have very sophisticated and easy to use MFDs. I have a feeling that when the pilot is stressed and under pressure its easy just to look at the GPS for a quick reference...??

    Indeed the people of Crimea chose .. and were liberated. NATO didn't like that for some reason.
    The Separatists in Donbass also have chosen to be liberated .. NATO didn't like that either.

    but yes . I agree that it would be nice if every person got to choose :)

    Many of the young men of Ukraine left for the DPR or for Russia. This is why the Americans only trained the nationalists from Western Ukraine since they were the only ones they could rely on. Most of the other Ukrainians refused to kill their brethren and/or become cannon fodder for Poroshenko and Zalensky.

    This video explains as to what happened to those who objected to the junta in Kiev. In Odessa when they tried to collect signatures for a referendum, a mob from Lviv under the pretense of attending a soccer game chased them into the Trade Union Bldg. where they were burned alive or hacked.

    As yet, no one has been brought to trial even though there are loads of videos of the ones involved. This was not the only
    atrocity, there were many.

    Before the Russian forces entered Ukraine, they presented to the UN photos of mass graves in the Lugansk region that were under Ukraine nationalist forces.

    Depends which NATO jet you are talking about .. Many are going with the F-35 .. which is the lemon of the skies. F/A-18A would wax the F-35 in a dogfight - like shooting fish in a barrel .. and good luck this Turkey being able to get out of the way of missiles -- which is hard for any plane to do these days.

    No one, just like now.

    I have no concern that Russia's nuclear arsenal has been maintained.
