This is of course unacceptable, but I see this as a sign that Russia is concerned. It really does look like it fears NATO expansion. See what you think.

Yes, that occurred to me as well. The president says one thing, but at the same time he orders the nutters like Medvedev and Zakharova to have a rant. I think it's to wrong foot the opposition.

Is this just the Russians taking the piss? Or is it them distracting attention from agent Krasnov? Is he impossibly incompetent, a useful idiot or full Krasnov?

Why on earth do they do it? Their arrogance is so toxic. The nonsense they spout is doing untold damage to the chances of future generations of Russians to enjoy any prosperity. That's if any Russian women still want to raise children in Russia.

Here is the Darin Gerdes '7 red flags' update. I believe this was posted before the publication of Russian banks pulling new loans. Edit: Look past the clickbait imagery.

I admire the ambition, but see our goals against total. It's 59. Or 1.65 per game. You have to go down the table to West Ham in 14th, to find a team who conceded more goals than we did. This is fundamental. Sort it out and maybe we could be challenging for top 4. But we didn't sort it out...

That's about where I am. Got to be aware of the power and danger of wishful thinking, so no hyperbole (thanks Prof. Gerdes), BUT it is really, really bad. Inflation of staple foods is through the roof. That means hunger. No wonder Putin wants more war; he can't risk bringing the troops home...

It would seem that Russian banks are closing their doors to new loans........ This might be it. I'll refrain from doing a Fabrizio Just yet. See Youtube updates - Jake Broe, Jason Jay Smart, but especially Darin Gerdes.

Confirmation of what we suspected - that the Chinese have been helping Russia rather more than they would like to be revealed.

It looks like Ukraine is trying to disrupt supply routes via the land bridge to Crimea. Starve the occupiers of supplies. The Kerch bridge remains intact, being heavily defended.

Back to business then, and here we've got an attack on a train carrying fuel. That's two for the price of one. Buy one, get one free. I said, buy one, get one free.

It might not be as simple as that. They will both help to hasten the end of the war, but the timing of the end of the war also depends on what Putin does. Putin could sequester the savings of the population, to use that money to continue funding his war machine.

Moscow says it shot down 94 drones in this attack. Is this a tacit admission of the scale of current Ukrainian drone operations?

This post comes with thanks to 'Have I got news for you'. You just know that Trump merchandise is going to be tasteless shit. But this is outstanding. And all for only $640. https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-watch-delivered-typo

Delusional, brutal, arrogant and entitled. Either they don't care or don't understand the damage they are doing to Russia, not to mention their neighbours.

Here's one for connoisseurs of the impending collapse (no timeline) of Russia:

Well....it sounds good, but I'll believe it when I see it. Not being anything approaching an expert in US politics, I have no idea whether this is a done deal, or if Trump could veto it.

Perhaps Merz is leaving the door open for Trump in the future 'whenever possible', but giving a nod to Putin, the fact that Trump won't be there forever.
