That might be as well but the article is about Pbv 302 APC, which is much older, 1960's stuff.

Honestly, I think that there may be a very legitimate argument that given that Romania and Bulgaria joined – and this becomes even more-significant with a Ukrainian membership – that the scope of Article 6 should be extended to the Black Sea, as we did with Turkey when Turkey joined. Otherwise, it’s possible for Russia to perform a blockade on NATO Black Sea powers and sink their warships without them being able to avail themselves of NATO Article 5 protection.

Broadly speaking you aren't wrong but ATM russian navy is unable to blockade even the civilian shipping of a country that has no navy. There is probably no need to resolve this issue now, especially as the Black sea countries are bound by the previous treaties on Black Sea like the Montreux convention. Moscow might be more amenable to changes of these treaties if NATO doesn't let them win in Ukraine.

Similar role and similar longevity to the M2 machine gun.

Well, the standard has changed since it was a polaroid of giving him the bird in 4G inverted dive some 40 years ago.

Czechoslovakia certainly didn't invade in the traditional sense, because:

  • The troops were there before the bolshevik revolution with the agreement of the Russian government and on the way out of Russia when they were attacked.
  • Czechoslovakia didn't exist yet.

Sure, that's already happening even with the dual use supplies. But it will make the supplychain more complicated and less steady and it will give us more clout on the countries reselling to them(China doesn't want lose access to the west, it's more about Central Asia). It will also make it cost more, but that's of no concern to these people.

But the high officials and oligarchs don't want to drink vodka for commoners, they want wine, cognac & whisky from the west.

We really should sanction exporting alcohol to ruskys, if only to save ourselves from Dima's delirium maddness.

Was it really extinguished, or did it just burn through all the fuel?

You lie, moskals have been observed to continue stealing, raping, killing and ethnic cleansing long after any hostilities ceased in many armed conflicts before. Their behaviour in Bucha and elsewhere proves they haven't changed one bit.

 

Czech police stopped a Russian tennis player from entering the country ahead of the WTA Prague Open tournament, organisers said on Friday, as a new government resolution banning athletes from Russia or Belarus caused the event to scratch other competitors.
