I don't see any Western power using canned sunshine, it's become more of a political weapon rather than military. No elected leader wants to be the one responsible for killing "millions" of people. Crazed dictators are a different story.

Particularly in the age of the JDAM. That being said all it takes is someone miscalculating and we're off to the races....

Oh my. I'm so tickled to pass as male in this particular venue, thank you!
.. but in all others, my dulcet tone, Liz Taylor eyes, and "days of our lives" shape make passing as such an impossibility :D

Brightest Blessings, jward...

My most humble apologies, Ma'am... No disrespect intended! Hope I didn't just suffer early onset, "Good Ol' Joe Bidenitis..." I promise to try and screw my brain back in properly... Obviously, I need new glasses, too, and unfortunately, a hearing aid won't help with hearing your dulcet tone... Thanks for being a good sport, Ma'am...

Blesses Be,

OldArcher, Witch

Nothing abnormal on Marine Traffic with the Oruc Reis, however as Norse on Project Owl noted, there appears to be a potential problem with the research vessels support tugs. It did some maneuvers and then slowed to a near complete stop and is now drifting slowly.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:50 P.M.) – France announced Thursday that it will deploy two warplanes, and reinforce its presence in the eastern Mediterranean with one of its warships.
The French Ministry of Defense said that France will send two Rafale fighter jets and the naval frigate Lafayette to the eastern Mediterranean as part of plans to increase its military presence in the region, amid indications of tension with Turkey, the Reuters News Agency reported.

Earlier in the week, French President Emmanuel Macron called on Turkey to stop drilling for oil and gas in disputed waters in that region, which led to an escalation of tensions with Greece.
Macron had rejected Turkey’s “dangerous and unilateral” steps, expressing his grave concern about the tensions caused by the “unilateral” Turkish decision to drill in the eastern Mediterranean region.
A statement by the French presidency stated that Paris decided to temporarily reinforce its military presence in the eastern Mediterranean, in order to respect international law.
Macron called for the opening of a “peaceful dialogue” between Turkey, its neighboring countries and NATO partners.
