Is this theory plausible? Are we to expect another incursion somewhere during the Paris Olympics?
All the Times Russia Invaded Sovereign States as the World’s Attention Was Focused on the Olympics
Russia has long exploited the Olympic Truce as a ruse to launch its wars. Putin knows that the best time to attack is while everyone watches the games as it’ll…united24media.com
I'm sure Putler has his best engineers working on why the turret on his "greatest tank in the world" starts spinning uncontrollably with any damage. And if they don't he'll kill them like the lunatic he is. LoL.
Spinning Turret Syndrome: The Disastrous Bug In Russia’s Most Modern Tank
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba has written about this on X:
"
Why are Russian "sources" suddenly telling the media that Putin is willing to halt the war at the current battle lines? It’s simple.
Putin is desperately trying to derail the Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15–16. He is scared of its success. His entourage sends these phony signals of alleged readiness for a cease-fire despite the fact that Russian troops continue to brutally attack Ukraine while their missiles and drones rain down on Ukrainian cities and communities.
Putin currently has no desire to end his aggression against Ukraine. Only the principled and united voice of the global majority can force him to choose peace over war. This is what the Peace Summit is intended to achieve. This is why he is so afraid of it.
And this is why it is critical to have as many leaders as possible from all continents and parts of the world present. When the entire world speaks out in support of restoring the full force of the UN Charter and international law, Russia will be forced to choose peace.

Crossing my fingers hoping he over extends his army. Hitler did it and the two seem similar.Putin would be an idiot to open a new military action now. ...
Define the frontline as the furthest sites Ukraine's drones have hit, and maybe...

These over-the-horizon radar installations will be doing the work of the A-50 AWACS fleet which is probably now non-operational or at least severely stretched.
If you’re trying to persuade allies to let you use long-range strike weapons on Russian territory, a live subject at the moment, then why on earth would you hit an early-warning radar that has little obvious battlefield utility but does affect Russia’s nuclear deterrent? x.com

NATO’s boss wants to free Ukraine to strike hard inside Russia
Jens Stoltenberg says the rules on using Western weapons should be eased
May 24th 2024
Nato secretaries-general do not normally attack the policies of the alliance’s biggest and most important member country. But Jens Stoltenberg, whose ten-year stint in charge is coming to an end, has done just that. In an interview with The Economist on May 24th, he called on NATO allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to end their prohibition on using them to strike military targets in Russia. Mr Stoltenberg’s clear, if unnamed, target was the policy maintained by Joe Biden, America’s president, of controlling what Ukraine can and cannot attack with American-supplied systems. [My u.] [...

Ukraine hit the one and only 29B6 Container radar Russia has back in April and now this DM radar looks a bit secondhand.
I think this, along with the continued SAM strikes is more preparation for the arrival of F-16s.
NATO should authorize Ukraine to smoke Kaliningrad's GPS jammers:

Review: America’s two-front dilemma in World War II
Books about World War II are ubiquitous in the nonfiction section, but "Hitler's American Gamble" is the rare recent work with a genuinely new contribution to make, not just to our understanding of the past but also to our understanding of the present.www.americamagazine.org
Roosevelt was trying to figure out how to declare war on Germany because Germany hadn't done anything hostile against the US.
On October 17, 1941, the first US blood was spilled when the destroyer USS Kearny was hit by a German torpedo while escorting a convoy in the North Atlantic. Though the ship itself survived, 11 sailors were killed and 22 wounded.
The Nazis were already shooting at US warships months before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor
The US officially declared war on the Nazis on December 11, 1941, but the US Navy had already been fighting them in the Atlantic for months.www.businessinsider.com
Agreed, but there had been hostility from Germany against the United States prior to the formal declaration of war.The Kearny didn't rise to the level to give Roosevelt the political capital to declare war on Germany.
Agreed, but there had been hostility from Germany against the United States prior to the formal declaration of war.
Typical strategy by US to deal with electronic jammers and radar is to send in electronic warfare planes to trigger the devices. They determine the locations and frequencies used by the enemy. Right behind those technology planes are fighter bombers, who will destroy to discovered locations.
This opens up the air to US dominance, a critical component of command and control.
Russia's strategy of launching attacks from well inside their Country, will open up the need to take those locations out of action.
The first sinking of a US warship was the Jacob Jones sunk on Dec 6, 1941 by a u-boat.
Around 5:30 a.m. on October 31, 1941, an explosion ripped through the US Navy destroyer USS Reuben James as it and other destroyers escorted 42 merchant ships across the Atlantic to Britain.
The explosion, caused by a torpedo that detonated the destroyer's magazine, was so intense that the bow was completely blown off. The ship sank in about five minutes — so fast that no official order to abandon ship could be given.
It was the first US Navy warship sunk by enemy action in World War II, and the US wasn't even at war when it happened.
Well, someone isn’t correct.
