More intrigue from today.


Coup a brewing?


Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation sees no point in participating in the "empty" meetings Putin regularly holds.

Their response: “But…we have nukes!”

It must be depressing to find out your weapons, for the most part, suck.

Somewhere in the world there might be a history book containing a story about a war in which, very late in the game, the losing side developed or acquired some new super weapon that totally turned the war around and reversed the outcome... But "HIMARS" is not such a story.

It made holes on the bridge and that obstructs vehicular traffic. HIMARS is not designed to drop spans like that. And maybe the Ukes want to preserve it for future use as bridges are expensive.

But did you see the pattern of hits on the structure? Remarkable accuracy!

I doubt very much Putin is going to speak about “worrying” - he’s going to plan how to address that threat.

The bridge is already being repaired by the Russians.The hit was accurate, but the bridge was still usable. Saw a video of Patrick Lancaster on the bridge. There is also a rail bridge in that area.

LOL! Putin had a 3-hour medical episode on Friday night and then on Monday, Patrushev is refusing to attend Putin’s video meeting calling Putin’s video meetings “empty”. Too funny!

Ukraine needs much more help than we have given her, the Polish military would need to engage there fully. Also heavy armor and modern aircraft, and longer range cruise missiles (stuff we sell to Egypt).

Also, I strongly suspect there are some back room deals between Gazprom and Hunter Biden, which is allowing Russia to sell oil to the US through third-party brokers.

Holes are much easier to patch than it is to repair/rebuild a downed span.
