Seems consistent. Ukrainian soldiers are performing life saving missions i.e. defending their citizens from an unprovoked attack.

then the military would also act life-saving, since they are defending the attacked country

Then the military should have stopped the country from trying to join NATO, avoiding the invasion of Russia and saving countless lives and homes.

For the big McMurdo US base they have flown in a few times in the winter for extremely important life or death medical reasons (last year: Aug 25 [1]) For the smaller other country bases it tends to be too dangerous and impossible. They are not able to use mcmurdo and the americans cant help either.

The general rule is that the Americans don't fly during the winter but they do tend to downplay and not publicize the times when they do fly.

From what I gathered from the article the person who got off was a resident of Tristan? They have such limited shipping options that this might have been the only way for them to travel from any mainland. Not sure though, but I don't think they got off there to seek medical assistance.

We have a mountain here called Bod an Deamhain meaning the Demon's D*ck. It has been anglicised into something more polite.

If you want something more bleak, there are also islands called Disappointment and Desolation.

This is the best thing, thank you.

I think he was trying to make a joke about Airdrop, I guess.
