Sadly, that doesn't come as a surprise. I'm sure the US and Europe are on high alert too. Not that it matters, we're all going to end up as giant parking lots when it's all over unless somebody gets wise in Russia.

Actually, they don't.
and even if they use "Loran-C" instead,
the yes-men they have now in their forces
(rather than the actually trained leaders who
were thrown out windows and such) may not
be adept at using it. CHAYKA may be an alternative,
but it is about as difficult and unreliable under these
circumstances as "Loran-C."

Quote:
Russian military doctrine assumes GLONASS and other GNSS will not be available once a battle begins, so will instead turn to Loran-C for navigation.

"I don't regret a thing" - Ukrainian unrepentant for attempting to sink yacht.

Quote:
D. Taras O., the 55-year-old Ukrainian who attempted to sink the luxury yacht that belongs to Alexander Mijeev, stated in court on Sunday: "I don't regret anything I've done and I would do it again."

Arrested for partially sinking the luxury yacht in Port Adriano, he fully accepted the facts of the case and assumed total responsibility for what had happened. When the Guardia Civil arrived in Port Adriano on Saturday, he turned himself in and told officers: "My boss is a criminal who sells weapons that kill the Ukrainian people." Alexander Mijeev is the CEO of Rosoboronexport, a Russian military weapons company.

On the one hand I still think Putin is a rational actor, at least in some senses (for example, it's pretty clear he agreed to wait until after the end of the Chinese Olympics before launching the invasion), on the other there's no way to be certain of that. There is a non-zero chance he's not bluffing.

How can it be both “pretty clear” and “no way to be certain”?

I know what you mean. After all, the idea of people actually fighting to preserve their homeland and their way of life in the face of a massive military giant - just doesn't ring true, does it? Must be a media myth. Next you'll be telling me there was actual resistance against the Nazis! I mean, come on: does anyone really believe that?
