We had a couple hellfire missions from them support us in Iraq, never heard a thing but the rocket impact, they were above the whole time. Fun fact, I spoke at UTC aerospace one veterans day, they make the cameras and gimbals that are on those aircraft, They can read the text on a bouncing tennis ball at 20k feet, I kid you not.
WTF is going on here??
I never saw a tiny SoL over there... where is it??
paris?
That one is in Colmar France, but there are hundreds of replicas
There is at least one in Paris, not far from the Eiffel tower, IIRC it is the OG statue. When I ran my 1/2 marathon in Paris, it was actually my turn around point.
Edit:
Statue of Liberty on the Ile aux Cygnes in Paris France
This particular Statue of Liberty is a replica located on the Ile aux Cygnes Island in Paris and sits in the middle of the River Seine facing towards America.
Worked on a hops farm near Colmar, fun place! Good riding in the Forêt Noir and the vosges in France, but that was 1989. I bet it’s betterer now. Good god, did I drink and mess around with the Polish workers…good times
TIL there are lots of SoL around. 
We had Colmar on our list of places to visit when we spent our summer in Europe, but ran out of time and had to skip it.

Tough paywall to crack, care to copy and paste?
I have good memories of getting hammered with Federweisser on a school trip to Colmar. Lac Blanc bikepark is close by and pretty fun.
NVM, busted it
Just. Fucking. Do. It.

SWIFT waits to disconnect Russian banks as securities platforms cut Moscow ties
SWIFT said on Tuesday it was waiting to see which banks authorities want disconnected from its global financial messaging system as sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine are rolled out.

My suggestion of the day:
With all of the Seized assets around the world, a fund needs to be created ASAP in order to rebuild Ukraine to not just where it was before, but better. Especially assets taken from Russian oligarchs and businesses that have previously profited in Ukraine, but haven’t protested.
Make it hurt in the most symbolic way possible.

this shit sucks
the biggest effect of all these is that russians can't buy food in about a week, while the assholes that propped putin up for two decades are mildly inconvenienced
.....remember the czars, it's been done before

The world can thank men like Herr Schroeder for enabling Putin for the past 20 years.

Ten years ago, definatley, 5 years ago, meh, today? Too fat and out of shape. I think I used my freedoms up and will save what I got left for possible domestic incursions.
If I spoke the language I would consider it but communications in that environment is clutch, That and weapons choice is a key factor for me.
A whopping 3 members of a parliament with no power…
From what I’m reading from people with good insight into Russian public opinion and social media, the general public is still largely apathetic despite the demonstrations and even a few celebrities and oligarchs speaking out. I fear this will have to get a lot worse before it gets better, both economically and in terms of conscripts not returning home.
Additionally, can anyone see a face saving way out for Putin à la Cuban missile crisis? I just can’t come up with one and am left wishing for suicide by two shots into the back of the head.
Sounds like americans 2003-present
People like putin don't go away. Ever. He'll just use the oncoming russian suffering as more proof of his oppression of the west narrative. And regarding who sanctions really hurt and who they don't, he won't be wrong.
If hackers could completely disrupt vodka production and distribution in Russia, this would be over in a week.
Russians citizens are a smart crowd, they totally know whats up but most will keep their mouths shut for the sake of not getting locked in the gulag, They are in contact with their friends and families via mobile and social media that are placed/displaced in and around ukraine, They are simply in a self preservation mode until they see a time or place to do something about it. Most are worried about the banking crisis as of now.
I cant see anything ending well for putin and his peers though, If putin turns up the heat I can see a contingent of defectors and some surgical drone strikes to end things but not before getting the blessings from EU and Nato.
EU/NATO involvement increases the chances of tactical nukes being used by a factor of a thousand. There will be a lot of tippy-going around in secret, I think.
It ain't much but...
