I have been enjoying this site over the last few days. It's a flight tracking site and if you click on the square with 'U' on it at the top of the map, you filter for military flights.

There has been an almost constant presence of airborne early warning, ground radar, electronic intelligence and tanker aircraft pootling near the Poland-Ukraine border. You sometimes seen surveillance drones appear and disappear and special forces helicopters out on trips. You can only see aircraft that have their beacons on and of course any enemy can see the same. There's a clear message to Russia that NATO is watching...

It doesn't - straw-clutching even if true. It's like making someone a cup of tea after breaking into their house, mugging them and killing the kids.

Of course it matters.
Or does the truth only matter when it suits ?

If its true, hes simply reporting facts, however much people may dislike them.
If its false, then its propaganda & misinformation, and he needs to get pulled up for it.

But it’s like an arsonist burning down your house then expecting thanks for providing you with a tent.

There wouldn’t be any need for Russian humanitarian aid if the Russians weren’t blowing the shit out of the country…

He was retweeting a TASS news story, which hadn’t been validated - also, 30 tons is one articulated lorry’s worth.

The truth matters when it's relevant, they delivered 30 tons of aid, so what, if they hadn't invaded and caused devastation they wouldn't need to have bothered, James no-mark can stick his facts imo

With war on its doorstep, Moldova applies for EU membership

CHISINAU, March 3 (Reuters) - Moldovan President Maia Sandu signed a formal application for her country to join the European Union on Thursday, charting a pro-Western course hastened by Russia's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

Sandu's move comes days after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a request for immediate EU membership as it battles invading Russian forces. read more

Moscow is fiercely opposed to the eastern expansion of both the EU and especially of NATO, which it sees as a direct threat to its own national security.

Sandu, the prime minister and the parliamentary speaker all signed the document during a briefing in the capital Chisinau, where pro-Russian and pro-EU politicians have vied for control since Moldova won independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

"It took 30 years for Moldova to reach maturity, but today the country is ready to take responsibility for its own future," said Sandu, before holding up the signed document to the television cameras.
