That's not always true though is it, they're called peacekeepers because they go into hot spots and enforce the peace.
Although I admit it doesn't work like the way it should, basically it would be the west and India who make up the majority of the peace keepers so it would effectively be NATO enforcing it.
So it's never going to happen but it should, the war crimes could be a potential way to do it but they don't have the bottle.

This is like 'who's line is it anyway?' where they seem to just have to come up with the most bat poop crazy idea they can think of.
There was a restaurant, I think in the lake district, that did serve grey squirrel as part of a cordon bleu style menu. I would think that as a herbivore animal it probably made quite good eating, like wild rabbit. The sweetbreads would be hard to find on the plate though.
/end of off topic
They've been doing a combination of selling off physical assets like gold, printing money and borrowing from their own population with bonds

The US is trying to find a way to for Ukraine to be able to use the AIM120 missiles from the 30 Mig29s Poland is going to send to Ukraine

U.S. military eyes mounting Western air-to-air missiles on Ukrainian MiGs
The effort, if successful, could be part of a solution to Kyiv’s need for additional firepower and air defenses.

That apparently used to be a problem in Northern Ireland, some guys secretly dig a covert observation post to watch some dodgy/connected person's farm/weapons cache/whatever and soon enough a bunch of cows take an interest and surround the OP. Doh!

Squirrels? In this economy? Who's got the money for that? Brits can barely find tomatoes, let alone feral meat!
Apparently second wave of missiles expected - EDIT: Apparently no launches reported in last 10 minutes according to OSINTdefender, second wave already happened.
Several NATO aircraft up like AWACS so guessing they are monitoring activity.

Its because russian intelligence is so bad; they dont have many military targets to hit but old power stations that have been there for years they know about.
At the start of the war russia was sending cruise missiles to old sites where closed down military bases were, their knowledge is very delayed, the pentagon says when Russia tries to bomb a military targeted they don't know if they hit the target for several days - thats how long it take them to find out, they are so far behind what western militaries are now used to.
Russia only tries to bomb targets that sit still for a long time and this means there arent a lot of military targets left to hit so they bomb static civilian structures

That and they enjoy hitting civilians more.
