Having read that the #US healthcare system is too rotten for scientist & reporter @RVAwonk to afford her medicine ... I am reminded of the #birth of my cousin's first child in May in Italy... which involved helicopters.

He & his wife live in a small Italian town with 21,000 inhabitants, which nonetheless has a 300 beds/1000 employee hospital. On the day of birth emergency service brought them to the hospital, a doctor & midwife took care of them, the birth went smoothly, but 10min afterwards 2/5
the midwife noticed that the baby-girl wasn't breathing properly. Immediately doctors and nurses rushed the room, took child and mother to ICU, called the provincial hospital, which sent their specialist via #helicopter (!) to the small town hospital 25 miles away. 3/5
Having a good time with #NewYearsEve?
Let me ruin it with this map of the military situation in Eastern Europe, which shows us:
1) #Russia's massive military buildup vs. #Ukraine & #Europe: 33x brigades & 35x regiments. (@USarmy in total: 31x brigades & 7x regiments/groups)

2) If #Russia annexes #Belarus, then #Putin will forward deploy his tanks to #Poland's border & the doorstep of #Lithuania's capital #Vilnius. He will also threaten #Ukraine's capital #Kyiv from the #North and it will be easy for Russian troops to close the #Suwalki Gap.

3) #Poland's best brigades are based near #Germany. They must move East to protect #Warsaw & be an operational reserve to come to the aid of #Lithuania. Poland also needs more tanks; & modern attack helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, fighters, guided missile artillery.
