Kinzinger is advocating for a US-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would involve US forces shooting down Russian planes. A major figure in US politics advocating this is significant in itself, the support he is receiving is even more significant.

Adam Kinzinger (@AdamKinzinger)

Do you really believe Putin, faced with escalating against NATO, would make that call? We killed 400 Russians in Syria, Putin went silent. I know we would love to let this all go away. But sometimes we don’t get that choice.

If a simple no fly zone means “Putin loses the whole thing” (wait isn’t that good?) imagine what he loses if he escalates. If Putin is suicidal, we will have to face him on his next country he attacks. If he’s not suicidal, he will not escalate.

Look, I'm just saying that if I'm trying to cast myself as a first-rate military juggernaut and I think everything is going fine, I don't go asking the Chechens and Kazakhstanis to give me extra men 48 hours into an invasion of a much smaller neighbor.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered a flurry of credit rating moves on Friday, with S&P lowering Russia's rating to 'junk' status, Moody's putting it on review for a downgrade to junk, and S&P and Fitch swiftly cutting Ukraine on default worries.

I am so used to watching US "shock and awe" invasions over the last twenty years, the differences in RU invasion are stark to me.

RU failed to gain air supremacy even on Day 3.
a total 200 missiles in 48+ hours is nothing compared to the no. of PGMs US drops in same time

1/n

!

Wanted to do some quick maths for everyone looking at this channel

with the 2 prior Downed IL 76s, this is 4 downed transporters in just ~16 hours

with each one carrying between 100-240 troops depending on the configuration

thats anywhere between 400-1000 losses for the VDV (russian paratroopers)

(even in case the 2 confirms are the same as the prior 2, thats still 2 downed, for 200-500 losses)

VDV losses at antonov airport yesterday

for paratroopers the normal configuration load is 100-125 per aircraft

+crew (pilots, etc)?

yes.

To be clear, these are the best of the best forces Russia has.

Note that in this context losses are not deaths/fatalities, they can also mean just captured in case the paratroopers survived going down.

Ukraine's capital under threat as Russia presses invasion

Right now it's fog of war. Western intelligence confirms it, but photos and videos aren't coming out. A few possibilities:

A. It could just have been propaganda.

B. Ukrainian forces may have closed the area off due to potential unexploded ordinance.

C. The area is very rural.

D. The area has seen significant air incursions repeatedly, which would mean people are staying in their homes.

E. Probably 100 other small possibilities.

Hungary will support all European Union sanctions against Russia and will not block anything, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Saturday, speaking on the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.

"This is the time to be united, it's a war," he said.

I thank my friend Mr. President of 🇹🇷 @RTErdogan and the people of 🇹🇷 for their strong support. The ban on the passage of 🇷🇺 warships to the Black Sea and significant military and humanitarian support for 🇺🇦 are extremely important today. The people of 🇺🇦 will never forget that!
