FWIW
And in case this is related. Edit-this is actually old news and misleading.
"Did NATO announce formal suspension of treaty on conventional armed forces in Europe?
Earlier today, the North Atlantic Council issued a statement announcing the decision of NATO Allied States Parties to the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) to suspend all of their obligations under the Treaty.

Is NATO going to wait for one of these errant drones to hit a population center or critical infrastructure in a NATO country?
Or will NATO tell Russia "Your limit is exceeded, and NATO will start shooting drones down over Russian & Ukrainian territory to protect NATO territories"
No offensive actions will be taken as yet, but any drone heading toward Ukraine or within 100 miles of any NATO border will be shot down. If Russia wants to take on NATO, go for it.
There needs to be a clear, hard line here. No more drones w/in 100 miles of any NATO borders. Period.
Shooting them down w/ NATO forces outside a narrower entry window will also help Ukraine, which can then focus just on that window, which is a side benefit here.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is no longer in hiding. After three decades of military retrenchment, following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the break-up of the Soviet Union two years later, NATO has decided to boost its capabilities in response to Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine and the threats made by its president, Vladimir Putin, to countries on Europe's eastern flank.
On January 24, the alliance launched Steadfast Defender 24, its largest series of military exercises in Europe since the end of the Cold War. Scheduled to last until May 31, these large-scale maneuvers bring together some 90,000 troops from 32 countries and no fewer than 1,100 armored vehicles, including 166 battle tanks. The exercises are taking place mainly on the plains of Poland and Norway, but also in Germany, the Baltic States, Romania, Finland, Slovakia, Greece and Sweden.
"This is our largest deployment since Exercise Reforger in 1988, in which 125,000 men were engaged," stated US General Randolph Staudenraus, head of operations at NATO's military command in Brunssum, Netherlands. Staudenraus came to Gdansk, Poland, on March 4 to supervise one of the two land exercises in the sequence, called Dragon 24."
Biden administration should be ashamed of themselves.
Today marks one year since US citizen Evan Gerhskovich was falsely imprisoned by Russia. It is an interesting dynamic to see some Fox hosts pushing Russian disinformation and propaganda, while some of their hosts and outlets push for the release of their co-worker.
The House of Representatives remains on a 2 week holiday without funding Ukraine to defend themselves.

Damn it. Why is it always the handsome ones who have to die?
Biden clearly worried about high gas prices running up to the election.
The recent damaged ships have not been added to the tally. Maybe not declared “totaled”.
So what party is really hurting Ukraine’s ability to hurt russia?
Wow.
To be fair, the $60bn Johnson/Trump/House GOP have been blocking for the past 6 months would still have brung A LOT of hurt on Russia. And protected even more of Ukraine and its people.
Individuals who evade sanctions to help Russia should be "disappeared".
