I'm hoping someone will bring me one of those tractors over as a souvenir.....
I asked for a javelin for the sitting room wall
Looks like Moldova will have to wait to be freeded by the Russians, they seem to be looking to invade and dezazifiy Poland next ,
Another planet stuff
I commented when I saw him at his meeting with Macron back in February that he is face was puffed.

At the time the Russian's security services wanted to test Macron for COVID and he refused and only released his own test results hence the long table
Ah yes, I recall Auschwitz being a Nazi stronghold alright.
They will join. Turkey wants money for their agreement.
This map clearly illustrates the extent to which NATO is surrounding Russia --
Irelands border with NATO is almost half as long.
Think they should consider denazifying themselves before they do anything else
He wants his F35s
Think China and King Neptune is more of a worry if Putin feels surrounded
King of the echo chamber stuck for words, all political careers end in failure I suppose 🫡
There's only three end game scenarios at this point:
He remains a master strategist, y'know 😘
Maybe a fourth.
To quote Martin Luther King: "I have a dream"...
Vladimir Putin ‘very ill with Parkinson’s and schizoaffective disorder’ says insider (msn.com)
It seems to be simi official. Putin has a few screws loose and is on his way out... hopefully.
Dumb and Duma!
Hmm, some of these articles are a bit flatter than the headlines would suggest and with not much detail.
Any reason to think that all this illness is a ploy to have the west think it could have a crazy man on their hands who wants to take the world down with him?
When putin had to wear a blanket at those celebrations this week his enemies/rivals in russia must know that he is very weak. He is all about looking strong… and he was forced to wear a blanket because it got too cold… say what you want about stalin but he never wore a blanket….murdered millions… but no blanket…..
The thought had crossed my mind. But if the "crazy" bit were true then I would have thought he'd have been taken out by his own, or a coup, by now.
The illness bit is more baffling. There's nothing concrete to base any assumptions on. I think only time will tell on that one.
Irrespective of crazy or health, the great problem here is that Putin has such an iron grip on all aspects of control in Russia. He's carefully nurtured a power structure over 20 years that sees him as being absolute in everything. There are no doubt plenty of his cronies and inner circle who disagree with what he's doing, and moreso how he's going about doing it, but it's more than their life (and that of their families) is worth to challenge him or cross him in any way whatsoever. We've seen what happens to them when they do.
Any man who can assassinate and poison his enemies, muzzle the free press, imprison his political opposition, authorise the invasion of another country where children and women are raped and butchered, and threaten a nuclear response should anyone interfere is not a man that can be negotiated with in any sensible way.
Whichever way everything pans out Putin is going to come out the loser, both in the short and long term. He must be in a state of mental turmoil at that thought alone at present.
A theory might be that Putin knows he is dying but wanted to secure a lasting 'legacy' for himself before checking out i.e. taking back Ukraine (and perhaps places like Moldova and Kazakhstan too).
The problem with the kind of iron-fisted rule which Putin appears to have cultivated is that it breeds a deep-seated well of resentment in the people. In a more open society, this can be voiced and therefore vented. In an authoritarian state, it has nowhere to go except the minds of the people under the regime. This is the fallacy of authoritarianism. It looks solid, but it's mightily brittle, and when it cracks, it cracks violently. This is what Putin is heading up, and I think the silent resentment against him will only worsen as time goes on and Russia becomes ever more of a pariah state and its young people have suddenly gone from being able to participate in a global world to living under paranoid oppression. Putin can only hope he pops his clogs before the breaking point comes.
it worked for Trump
Well it might have been a blanket or it might have been a protective gear.
I know, conspiracy forum is there >>>
Russian forces transferred the Tor-M2 and Pancir air defense systems to the Snake Island in the Black Sea, the representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence, Vadym Skibicki, informed on Friday.
If you were hiking in, say, the Canadian Rockies and were confronted by a mountain lion or a bear and you wounded them with your hunting knife, it would be then that the animal would be much more dangerous to you, than when you first saw them on the trail. Much more dangerous when they are in pain, in shock, angry, thinking of their nearby young and the protection they won't have. When they are dying.
There has been a fair bit of glee going around since the Moscow parade on Monday, about Putin. I'm wondering why.
The Ukrainians have him deposed and imprisoned already. The talking heads on our Western news programmes have him diagnosed with everything from Parkinsons to Leukaemia.
Yeah, thank God. Heave a sigh of relief everyone, this Russian bear is seeing all his plans turn to shyt and his own once model body consumed by disease and decrepitude and humiliation.
This guy with nothing left to lose. This guy with 6,000 nuclear warheads.
Lukashenka has a great respect for the Ukrainian military.
Obviously doesn't like his own country's though. Sounds like he's praising the Belarussians who transferred to the Ukrainian military. Covering Ass.
..
He has. Future of his children. He wouldn't keep them so secret, if he didn't care.
