This is the moment a smug Vladimir Putin is taken down a peg by one of his top energy officials in a dispute during a tense discussion about Russia's Arctic infrastructure projects.
Director General of Russia's state atomic energy corporation Rosatom Alexei Likhachev yesterday visited the Kremlin where he delivered a presentation about the company's performance and ongoing projects under Vladimir's steely gaze.
After a lengthy speech in which he boasted of Rosatom's 24 per cent annual revenue growth and lauded the successes of the company's work to establish Russia as a major player in nuclear energy globally, the director general shared a map of Russia's Arctic region to discuss the development of the Northern Sea Route and transport networks.
Putin dismissed Likhachev's work and immediately cut in, declaring with a smirk: 'Your presentation lacks the Northern Latitudinal Railway project. It needs to be displayed.'
But the energy boss calmly pointed out that the rail lines were clearly indicated, telling the Kremlin chief: 'The Northern Latitudinal Railway 1 extends from Nadym to Obskaya, and the Northern Latitudinal Railway 2 continues from Obskaya to Sabetta.
'The two sections are shown here by a short-dashed line.'
Putin was visibly confused, bowing his head to review the map before realising he'd made a mistake.

What about them Russian eggs Maxi?
While Paul McLeary, the Politico writer, tries to put the best spin on Ukraine's dire situation, he is forced to concede some uncomfortable facts:
Russian gains have been the most sustained and significant since its initial invasion in February 2022, and Moscow appears to be betting that casualties are sustainable, at least in the short-term.
“They have attempted to overcome [Ukrainian] fires with massive maneuver,” a military official said. “If you look at the salient around Pokrovsk the number of Russian forces there is astounding. It’s tens of thousands of forces that they’ve put into that very small area. As you know, when you have that many forces in a very small area … it’s a target rich environment” for the Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian government has rushed troops to fill gaps in their front lines, but have continued to fall back since the summer, unable to fully counter the Russian assaults.

What Kim Jonk Putin doink?
“Seoul in 3 days! Kim Jonk Putin stronk like Mao!”
You comment like a moron and, Believe it or not, you get worse every day.
Stalin airbrushed millions of his enemies with 9 grams of lead.
Comment to Daily Mail by Good old boy in Lurgan, UK: "Did you forget to mention in 2023 the US paid Rosatom $800 Million for nuclear fuel."
Yes, they forgot to mention it.
"Overall, the United States purchased uranium in May for a record amount in history - $987 million. China became the main exporter of enriched uranium ($323.6 million). France is in second place ($245.4 million), with Russia in third.
"At the beginning of May, the US authorities passed a law banning the import of low-enriched uranium. The regulations will take effect in August. Rosatom believes that such sanctions are "destructive for the sustainable functioning of the global market for goods and services of the nuclear fuel cycle." The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, stated that such actions are currently unrealistic."

Two+ years into the war, the Biden administration only recently decided to ban Russia's uranium.

With loopholes, should one wish to look further and deeper. But remember Uranium One, under Obama-Clinton, as a Canadian was sold leases to US uranium? Ah, a tangled web. Still tangled. Stronk, but tangled.
Vote Trump in 2024, at the minimum to castrate the Democrats and Democrat-adjancent RINOs, and begin to pare down the overweight administrative state.

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”
