    Oh the left's explosion if the deal goes through... It will be glorious.

    Macron wins

    For me, the choice between a right-wing authoritarian who is in Putin's pocket and a leftist authoritarian who isn't would be clear. But I am not French. The French though seem to agree with me.

    Macron wins

    ROTFLMAO. The Russian Information Agency (RIA)'s headline for the French Elections: Le Pen calls her election result a victory. https://ria.ru/20220424/frantsiya-1785212501.html Oh well. Russia loses yet another general.

    Macron wins

    Macron got seriously lucky. The Ukrainian war has discredited Le Pen. The competition would have been a lot tougher otherwise, though he probably still would have won.

    Israel Dumps The Dollar For China's Renminbi

    Russian propagandists are just... incompetent. Here they decided to photoshop the photo of the head of the Russian Orthodox church to remove the $30K watch he is sporting. Except they forgot to remove the watch's reflection :) Pathetic.

    Russia & Ukraine

    RT is so much Russian propaganda that Austrian communications authority KommAustria began to enforce the broadcast ban on RT and Sputnik on April 14. According to the Austrian regulator in the field of television and telecommunications (RTR), an amendment to the law on audiovisual media provides...

    Russia & Ukraine

    Well yes. Russian tank factory has stopped operations ("temporarily" they claim but good luck resuming it). So did Russian modern missile production facility. Because - surprise - they need Western electronics for their missiles.

    Russia & Ukraine

    "Jamming" is not at the source. I am pretty sure US has built in geographicaly selective signal degradation at the source in GPS satellites, especially for the civilian unencrypted signals. Not doing that would have been extraordinarily stupid. Turning off all US GPS signals over Russia would be...

    Russia & Ukraine

    Swedish SKF - the biggest bearing manufacturer in the world - said they will not be selling to Russia and are stopping all production in Russia. Russia has very few bearing manufacturers, and none that produce modern bearings required for things like railroad cars. Russians already stopped their...

    Russia & Ukraine

    Interesting. Russian aviation authorities are telling Russian airlines (whatever ones are still managing to fly on falling apart equipment) to prepare to switch navigation to maps etc. vs the GPS systems. It seems that they anticipate US turning off/degrading GPS navigation on Russian...

    Sergey Brin: ""Russia is Nigeria with snow. Do you really want a bunch of criminal cowboys controlling the world's energy supply?" and in another interview called it "an inherently gangster country".

    Russia & Ukraine

    One of the most hilarious things that Russians are doing is their "sanctions" against the West. Like - yesterday they sanctioned 61 Canadians, barring them from entering Russia. Pure theater. Funny, I haven't heard of one Canadian building a villa in Russia. While thousands of Russians who are...

    Russia & Ukraine

    ROTFLMAO. Yes. Of course. As Russian as I am. And television was invented by a Russian. In the US. If Sergei Brin's parents didn't take him out of Russia, he'd probably drive a taxi today. If he wasn't dead from alcoholism.

    Russia & Ukraine

    A pro-Russian channel published this today, removed it after 30 min. But screenshots are forever: The gist: at a briefing for the Defense Ministry, they announced 13,414 dead, about 7,000 MIA. From Moskva cruiser: 116 dead, 100 MIA

    Russia & Ukraine

    Russia is a joke. It is a third world country, producing nothing except natural resources, with delusions of grandeur and faded glory. The world points and laughs, and China licks its chops contemplating the subservient slave they will get in Russia. Pathetic.

    Russia & Ukraine

    I'd like you to imagine it. US equivalent - the Fed Chairman testifying in front of Congress, discussing a shortage of manufacturing facilities for shirt buttons.
