Remember in 2023 when Shoigu retired from leader of the Army - and you gave us lots of your BS articles saying he was dead or in prison?

And then he re-appeared as head of the Russian Security Council?

You’re still at it, I see....

Slav genetics all over that region have low male life expectancy, certainly compared to Asians.

A few countries:

Russia 67.9
Uzbekistan 69
Krygistan 67
Moldova 66.9

This has been intriguing for decades because the countries in question do not have high alcohol consumption compared with countries with longer LEs

Putin says let’s talk, will Ukraine talk or just keep making demands?

Oh well. They’re all crooks. Ripping off the army is an old tradition in Russia. And it has spread to the Ukraine.

Shoigu has been on an off ramp since last year when he was removed as Defense Minister. Probably enjoying the unique ambience of a basement villa in the old Lubyanka Resort.

Salyukov, 70, will become a deputy to ex-Defense Minister Sergei “Chunky Monkey” Shoigu, who was removed last year and made Secretary of the Security Council. The move was announced in a Kremlin decree.
