    I see, regularly, millennials sitting in the park, cross legged, hunched over a phone and oblivious to their surrounds,I don't know why they bothered going there, perhaps the other humans in their life, sent them out of the house.

    Sometimes you see people in the park reading newspapers or books. Why bother? :neener:

    The Budapest Memorandum, the treaty first broken by the USA in 2013 by putting sanctions on Belarus.

    How can the USA claim the moral high ground and quote treaty if they themselves were the first to breach such.

    How many US troops occupied Belarus? How much Belarus territory did the USA annex?

    That was Latvia. 
    Poland, along with Lithuania, used to be in control of Ukraine until the Cossacks kicked them out.

    Dont forget, this is not a new war, as a lot of the western media make out, it has been ongoing for 8 years since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 

    Being just a layman, and not being an expert on Foreign Policy whatsoever, it does appear as if the west is making a mountain out of a mole hill with regards to the whole situation 

    Russo Ukraine Crisis

    As we follow the latest twists and turns on what's happening with Ukraine, it's helpful to add a little context on how a nuclear arsenal fits into the picture. So we're going to back up now three decades to the early 1990s and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    Ukraine suddenly found itself independent and the third-largest nuclear power in the world. Thousands of nuclear arms had been stationed on its soil by Moscow, and they were still there. In the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to denuclearize completely. In exchange, it would get a security guarantee from the U.S., the U.K. and Russia, known as the Budapest Memorandum.  ...

    In Europe, for example, 5G midband rollouts have proceeded without much concern for radio altimeters, because the spectrum allocated is at just slightly lower frequencies (3.4–3.8 GHz in Europe, as opposed to the mentioned 3.7–3.98 GHz in the United States). Meanwhile, countries like Canada have installed buffer zones like the ones AT&T and Verizon have agreed to. The Australian Communications and Media Authority has said it believes that a 200-MHz guard band (like the one in the United States) between 5G networks and radio altimeters is sufficient in itself.

    And it remains to be seen whether the FAA is acting simply out of an abundance of caution. Currently, Ireland, Denmark, and Finland have operating 5G networks with midband signals that are more powerful than approved in the United States, with no effect on altimeters.

    Approved radio altimeters will allow commercial aircraft to continue low-visibility landings in the 5G C-Band deployment areas.
    The agency has made progress during the last two weeks to safely reduce the risk of delays and cancellations as altimeter manufacturers evaluate data from the wireless companies to determine how robust each model is. This work has shown some altimeters are reliable and accurate in certain 5G areas; others must be retrofitted or replaced. 

    This testing should have been done years ago.

    Models with one of 13 cleared altimeters include:

    • All Boeing 717, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787
    • MD-10/-11
    • All Airbus A300, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A350, A380
    • Some Embraer 170 & 190 regional jets

    As I have said before, it won’t go off overnight, it will be rationed and affordable only to the rich, there will be a “Mad Max” scenario to obtain and control power lines 

    Fortunately for me it won’t happen in my lifetime, and those woke millennials deserve everything they are going to get.

    Just hookup the Zombies to the generators! :ghost:
