What's Putin done now?

[facthunter]

A few  PROMENENT Russians  have expressed the Opinion that without Russia becoming BIG AGAIN in the World The WORLD should not exist. Cop THAT ,Young HARRY.  Nev

Is there a way we could get Chump and Poo-tin, and all their true believers, to live in either Russia or the USA, and all the sensible people from both countries to move to the other one?

[onetrack]

I reckon, sooner, rather than later, Poo-Tin will get assassinated - and quite possibly by one of his inner circle, not by Ukrainian commandos.

[facthunter]

 BOTH of THEM are concerned about that Possibility. Nev

If true, it would pose a orkward logistical load on Ukraine.

A different source from the usual.

I read somewhere that Mr Lavrov has not been seen for 3 weeks. I hope he hasn't been going around checking that the windows are all locked shut?

Allegedly:-

 

"Russia has attacked 4 Turkish ships over the past 48 hours.

3 of the ships were hit by Russian suicide drones in the port of Odesa yesterday while 1 ship was hit by a Russian drone out at open sea."

 

This looks like a bold step - attacking vessels registered to a NATO country.

Not sure Türkiye ever became a FULL NATO country. It IS SOMETHING to Arrack Erdogan though. He's generally supported Putin. Nev

[onetrack]

It's Putins aim to destroy any economic lifeline for Ukraine, and the attack was likely loosely designed just to hit the port, and the Turkish vessels would have just been collateral damage.

 

Russia is intent on buggering up Ukrainian grain shipments, and imports of useful equipment to support the war. 

 

Regardless, it's not the way to improve relationships with a big neighbour who has a tendency to waver between supporting the West and supporting Russia. You win wars by garnering big heaps of supporting countries, and Russia is not garnering any more support for the war, than the few countries he already has onside.
