I’ve just heard that Alan’s brand new speedboat unexpectedly blew up this afternoon, tragically killing him. These things do happen, you know. Contrary to what some might say, there’s no sinister connection to the recent mysterious deaths of almost all Russia’s ruling elite. Absolutely not. Pure...
It’s also getting too late in the year to be planning significant land operations really, unless you have the equipment, clothing etc for winter warfare. Which I doubt the Russians do, seeing as their army is largely equipped with t-shirts and water pistols.

In fairness, given the gerrymandering plus that the Republicans are currently doing to the electoral system there, the US won’t be a democracy at the next election either. Even more so if Trump does run.
