There is a case for Keith Olbermann to be detained on a 5150.

If Trump was still in, he would be saying the exact opposite.

Looks like it tries to IP geolocate you when you follow it.  Mine was centered in east Phoenix.  Not 100% accurate and probably fooled by a firewall if you're running one when you open it.  But close enough for horseshoes and nuclear missile targeting.

Yeah, it seems to get sorta close to you, then marks the largest city near you. It put me in Boise. When I have VPN off, the programs that use my location usually put me on the microwave tower my fixed wireless antenna is pointed at, in a small town in Oregon.

Well I detonated a 1Mt over Lexington and 104k people were killed outright with another 100k+ injured .
Did the same for Louisville, over 2x larger than Lex, and only 4k people died. 9 (no k) injured.

Disbelief over European leaders' trip to Kyiv by train

When the Czech prime minister Petr Fiala tweeted he and his Polish and Slovenian counterparts were on their way to Kyiv the initial reaction was - how?

Experts said helicopter or plane would be out of the question. The car journey from the Polish border to Kyiv is over seven hours, and also fraught with danger.

So there was disbelief when it emerged the three would travel to the Ukrainian capital by train - a seven hour journey in peacetime.

Fiala said they had informed EU colleagues last week, and would be travelling as an official European Council delegation.

But an EU official told the BBC the visit had "no formal mandate" from the council, and Brussels had only been notified it was going ahead last night.

The EU recognised the need to show full support to Ukraine, but President Charles Michel had pointed to the "security risks" of the trip.

Belarus is saying a missile fired from Ukraine entered the country. Could be pure propaganda  but I also wouldn't put it pass Putin to fire some missiles toward Belarus from Ukraine to try to trigger getting them activity involved. I seriously don't see what the Ukrainians would hope to gain by firing a single missile. into Belarus.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

What's been happening so far today?

If you're just joining our coverage, here are the latest developments on day 20 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine:

    Kyiv's mayor says the capital is entering a "dangerous moment" and has announced a continuous curfew from tonight until Thursday. Authorities say four people were killed this morning in fresh attacks on the city
    Peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow continue today, with Ukraine warning that Russia is likely to renew its offensive if there's no agreement
    The UK is sanctioning 370 Russians as well imposing new trade restrictions on luxury Russian goods and vodka
    The EU has announced a fourth round of sanctions, this time targeting Moscow's ability to finance the invasion
    The Polish, Czech, and Slovenian prime ministers are travelling overland to Kyiv by train, where they plan to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky
    In Russia, the journalist who protested against the war on a live TV news bulletin is currently on trial in a Moscow court

The west needs an ironclad reason to officially join the fray. The media has done a good job of getting everyone all worked up, all that's missing is the "final straw" justifying direct engagement.

Ukraine is lost for all practical purposes unless the west jumps into the battle with air superiority and boots on the ground.

For me, China is the wild card here.
