Error!
A poster accused me of something s/he had no reason to suspect, IMJ such a person is not qualified to do aviation work because it requires facts and logic.
As for your post otherwise, you can look the cases up on the Internet, noting that a large proportion of airliners flying in Russia are owned by leasing companies, some of which may be headquartered in the US, others in Allied nations like Ireland.
Further noting your jerk comment, IMJ you are not qualified to do aviation work - you fail reading comprehension and sneer at me.
Putin is ‘smart’ in strategy - he tried get a country rich in agriculture and industry for little expenditure.
But stupid in not doing his homework, not listening to people.
Self-deluding of course, reminds me of someone whose own sister said he believes his own lies.
Yeah, I agree actually, this sets a terrible precedent. This is the principle to live by except the constitution only applies to citizens not foreign nationals. That being said, it was mentioned earlier, this is only a judgement on paper. You’re not going to actually seize any property when it sits in Dubai, and an airworthiness certificate does what exactly ? It only make you legal, it doesn’t prevent a plane from taking off and flying away. This looks more like mental masturbation more than something with teeth, and just further underscores the ineptitude of this administration.
Wow! First, AVweb should have know better than to post this article having seen some of the politics recently addressing many articles. Be careful. Some number of years ago, AVweb shut off all comments to their publication because they had become a bit beyond just addressing matters of aviation interest. Could happen.
I come to AvWeb for Aviation info and Paul B’s excellent presentations….not for displays of political-ignorance and hate. Clean this up AvWeb, or lose your audience.
I agree 100% Chip. Another overreach by the US government. If the Russian owns them outright, I do not think we have a right to seize them. We can however through sanctions deny them parts and tech support from Boeing, Gulfstream, and other US suppliers. I completely hate what Putin’s Russia is doing in Ukraine but we need to still respect the rule of law.
Brandon and his corrupt administration have been issuing illegal, Unconstitutional, unethical, and immoral EOs from the first day he went into the WH. You apologies for him are unappreciated.
Political-ignorance - Yes. Hate? No, that’s what those say when someone disagrees with them and they can’t rationally defend their position. And so they resort to ad hominem. And they demand that a forum Cancel their opponents’ voices.
I come to AvWeb for the comments. I have learned more from those here with certain experiences/expertise, who articulate their thinking, or fill in the blanks, than the initial reports by staff.
And, as someone who’s Comments have been published in the Reader’s Feedback section (or is it called “Editors’ Picks”? I can’t remember) a few times now, I hope that I have likewise helped others by sharing my thinking. But I could not help others if my voice were silenced.
No one is MAKING you read Comments that you don’t like. But to insist that AvWeb makes it so that no one else can read Comments that you don’t like is what Leaders of Repressive Regimes do.
Remember Merkel was an East German (Staci) bureaucrat who was Putin’s buddy or worse before the collapse of the USSR and their captive client states.
And so much more, the FBI is the most corrupt political organization in the US.
I would
Or the FBI could just do their usual thing and lie about it
Typical deranged thought process so common in the young woke college crowd, including Facebook, Twitter, etc. Silence the opposition or anyone with whom you disagree.
You are exactly right.
To those who deign to dismiss my synopsis, even the last few days of activity, press releases, youtube commentary, and other sources, tend to support the thesis I have proffered that Ukraine will lose. Here is one such example where the veracity of actors such as Lt. Gen.Twitty former Deputy Commander of US European Command, cannot be disputed. Just replace the “dot” with a “.” and complete the URL header “https”.

How much Ukraine loses depends on the willingness of all parties to engage in diplomacy with all due dispatch.
And yes, this website should focus exclusively on matters pertaining to promulgating aviation. The seizing of property doesn’t seem to apply to 14 CFR. To those that are off-put by my entry, my sincere apologies.
time to start planning the introduction of Gen 6 aircraft?
Our national debt is $30T and rising. It stood at $6T when W took office in 2001. Unfunded liabilities stand at $300T. The government must stop living beyond its means and must pay off this debt. Otherwise we become another Weimar Republic amd the entire military is scrapped.
Uh, there’s ample pork in the budget, bloated bureaucracies, handouts to buy votes, …
Do you want to be defended against initiation of force?
The world is still full of Putins, Maos, Kims, …
Wow. I must be getting old. I thought F22s were new! Re-engine B52s and keep the Warthog flying but scrap the F22s? Something screwy going on!
The Raptor is the most capable fighter we’ve ever had, so of course this Administration wants to get rid of it. But at least West Point graduates will know what pronouns to use.
