Sure no problem, even during Soviet days there were always potatoes, but hey why not. Importing potatoes, ammunition, weapons, equipmentโ€ฆ. All is well๐Ÿ˜Ž

Marcus, I'm hoping you feel better soon. You are a nice guy and a good sport. Don't worry about
vodka in Russia. Do something nice for yourself instead. Take some time off and have a "me" day.
You're good enough. You're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!

When I first saw the headline, I thought, “Oh, no, more sober Russian soldiers attacking Ukraine.” But as someone pointed out, soldiers are really good at making essential supplies.

Meanwhile, I hope Marcus is indeed getting sunshine, fresh air, etc. as he supports Ukraine’s freedom. I manage all that and mow a big lawn once a month at 86, and I suspect FRiend Marcus is younger. Meanwhile I fail to understand how many good American could support an evil dictator like Putin. What is evil? Evil is a man who besides probably killing someone who disagreed with him (Prigozhin), then bulldozes the nice cemetery that Prigozhin had built to honor the Wagner soldiers who had fought and died for Putin’s glory. Not only was this unnecessarily cruel to the dead soldiers, but also to their grieving families. What kind of monster does that, and why is anyone here supporting him?

Total Ukraine propaganda BS. The Russian economy is not based on Vodka sales.
