Well yeah. NATO can fly over Ukraine all they want, but it would be risky at this point as the odds of an accidental engagement are high. "If Russia fighters engage we shoot down." Ok, but why are we there then(?), because we can't engage them. If we do, it's war. If they engage us and shoot, it's war. Therefore there would be absolutely no mission for the NATO aviators. They can't do anything, and as I said, the very presence of a NATO aircraft is extremely dangerous from the regards of an inadvertent escalation. -"It's pretty simple."
It's timing... the weather played a big roll in Lenengrad and it will here as well. Putin faces massive protests at home within 3 weeks. The ATM's won't be working then. Welcome to the era of economic warfare. You can be sure China is watching this.
Caught this on Bloomberg before it broke on the US news channels. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/russia-ukraine.364278/page-176#post-5556441 There's no good news. Scroll thru what I wrote subsequent to the first post in that thread.
