BREAKING: Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives at the Kremlin at 23:00 with his full security detail for an unknown reason.

No, I really should have put in a sarcasm tag.

Please forgive me.

[Vermont Lt]

Not really. Not a damned thing anyone here can do about any of this crap. If someone can make someone else laugh…that’s a good thing.

All you “we have to be serious about this stuff” people are deluded into thinking you matter. You don’t. I don’t. This is all pretty much a joke.

[laplata]

You’re right as can be. They control everything that could put something together and make it happen.

“If November doesn’t bring the “red wave” America will exist in name only”.

Yes, it would be over. Even with a Red Wave, it would be very tough.

[laplata]

Good post.

It’s bad, bad, bad.

[dennisw]

Vlad croak baby croak.

[Vaden]

With any luck the world will soon see this. However, I doubt anything stops. Putler probably has someone picked out who will continue just as always.

Russia has ALWAYS been led by a demented old fool and always will be.

"If Putin urgently called Biden at a late hour, who would they put on the phone?"

Peter Buttgig or maybe Nasty Polousy...

[TheElectionWasStolen]

Hopefully, he’s about to nuke D.C.

[dennisw]

Righteous! Ukies will repel all moron Russian-Mongolian invaders. They will go back home on the hospital train or on a refrigerated slab.

Putin will fail because Ukies are righteous wheat and other grains farmers who just want to be left alone.

[dennisw]

You are dealing with parrots and idiots. Parrots so stupid, I would not throw them a piece of bread.

[BobL]

Thanks, I agree.

[SaveFerris]

I could never imagine what we’re seeing today.

But here we are.

Ukraine ping

PIF: [FWIW: There was a rumor that if Putin came to Belarus to met with Lukashenko, he would never return to Russia ...]

Kamil Galeev is a young Volga Tatar who has been a significant presence on Twitter with respect to the Kremlinology of the Special Military Operation. He sees Lukashenko as a contender for Tsardom. Let’s say he manages the political equivalent of 18 holes-in-one and becomes the big cheese in Russia (that presumably includes Belarus), after pushing Putin aside. The question is whether he’d see the Ukraine operation as something he should continue, or a complete waste of resources.

Galeev believes that the problem with Russia is structural. Its rulers even after the Romanovs were butchered are basically Tsars in all but name. So whether Lukashenko, Navalny or any of Putin’s pet siloviki waiting in the wings replaces Putin as boss of bosses, Russia’s imperial tendencies will not change.

Yeltsin tends to be portrayed as this democrat - a man of the people. In reality, he was just a putschist, a dictator, a king in all but name, who levered himself into power using the ideological current of the moment, just like his Bolshevik predecessors.

Yeltsin said, during a summit in Istanbul:

[I am a European. I live in Moscow, Moscow is in Europe and I like it. You can take all the other states and provide security to them. I will take Europe and provide them security. Well, not I. Russia will.]

He figured Bill Clinton was a soft touch. He was right, but even Slick Willy wasn’t born yesterday.

NEED A LITTLE SMILE TODAY:

“I randomly encountered a video on YouTube that’s says “How to stop procrastinating”

I thought it was beneficial to me since I am constantly procrastinating, so I saved it to watch later

[UMCRevMom@aol.com]

“If you dropped the word “neocons” from your vocabulary you’d be a mute.”

Now, THAT is funny!
Thanks :D
