It must suck when your country's President is a war criminal who can only travel to a mere five or so autocratic countries abroad without being put in front of a tribunal. Guess Putin can sit at home on his commode.
War crimes tribunal to limit geography of Putin’s trips abroad

How Late Soviet Satire Set the Tone for Russian State TV Today
By Sofia Kosourova Updated: 2 hours ago
In the dying days of the Soviet Union, a satirical TV show called Fifth Wheel (Pyatoe Koleso) aired a subversive episode that stunned audiences unused to such transgressive broadcasting. Now a classic, "Lenin Was a Mushroom" argued exactly what its title suggested.
Despite using questionable data, fake experts, obviously falsified evidence and lying blatantly throughout, host Sergei Sholokhov and his guest, the musician Sergei Kuryokhin, were nevertheless a little too convincing for their relatively naïve Soviet audience, and many viewers took the satire at face value.
Three decades later, it's worth recalling the incident given that Russian state media is now a place where alternative viewpoints are shunned and where wild conspiracy theories are presented as objective facts..........

Being a crew member on this ship is not the safest job on the planet.
The Ukrainians just got missiles from the Brits that reach this puppy but I don't know if they have arrived and are set up yet.
Y'all know of course that the Americans tracked the Moskvich and gave the Unkrainians the coordinates and had civilian advisors on the ground to help with the firing. That is why the Ukrainians suddenly were "experts" a few weeks into the war.
Most likely if the Brits sent those long range missiles to Ukraine and if they have arrived they have some "civilians advisers" there to help them to be ready very fast. Not that the Brits would talk about it, just as the Americans did not with the Moskvich.
Erdogan may have tipped off Nato too that it was coming through. He is Putin's buddy but also a Nato member- sigh. But he is willing to trade intel to the Americans in exchange for more earthquake relief, especially with his election coming right up - fucking whore that he is. The Americans track all that stuff anyway. Erdogan claims to control the dardenelles strait and claims he will not let any Russian ships through. But the Ruskies pay him to look the other way if the price is right.
Russian Ship Loaded With Military Equipment Enters Black Sea
A Russian cargo ship slipped quietly into the Black Sea with a suspected load of war supplies for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The ship, Sparta IV, was loaded in Syria and sailed with a Russian Navy escort. Although Turkey closed the waterway between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea to Russian warships, the flow of military supplies continues.

Shovels prove Putin remains a master strategist. Think of all the utility shovels provide. A soldier can use the shovel to dig a grave for his compatriots and use it as a weapon that never requires ammunition. A practical solution for ammunition shortages indeed.
On a more serious note, it appears Ukraine's strategy is to make Russian occupation of Ukraine's territory prohibitively expensive in manpower and material for Russia. While the Russian people have certainly felt the effect of the war and sanctions by now, what of the future? Does Putin risk losing a generation of economic and social progress for a war with no victory in sight?
