Russian state TV host claims Ukraine's allies are reduced to eating squirrels because they are spending all their money on military aid
A Russian state TV host suggested this week that people in the UK are being forced to eat squirrels because their country is spending so much money on military aid to Ukraine.
- A Russian TV host claimed that the UK is eating squirrels over Ukraine war-related food shortages.
- The claim appears to stem from unrelated reports advocating eating grey squirrels.
- Grey squirrels are an invasive species in the UK, and groups want to preserve native red squirrels.
"Today it was revealed that some restaurants in once-Great Britain will be serving squirrels," Olga Skabayeva said on Russian news show "60 Minutes," per a translation by Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko.
"In view of the fact that there are plenty of animals in the parks, so why not eat them, bearing in mind the food shortage [in the UK]," Skabayeva said in the video.
She added: "They [the UK] are not backing down from the decision to help [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, to supply weapons. That is, they will eat squirrels, but still supply howitzers."

Guy on Bloomberg just now, some "expert", was saying what I what I have been saying all along. Putin doesn't care about the body count. He can and will fight this war into perpetuity. Wave after wave of young men into a meat grinder. Like WW1. Loss rate is 5:1. He's playing the long game on the assumption the West will grow weary of throwing money into a war with no end. China continues to buy his oil and gas, along with other nations, so while he might not be rolling in cash, he can certainly keep it going.
I don't know what the answer is. We could do a strike out of the blue and probably take out all of his missile silo's in a matter of hours, but like I have said, it's the subs that matter, even with the best ASW, they're tough to pinpoint at any given time. One nuke on DC or NYC is too great of a cost to risk.
We could probably take Putin out personally, with a quick strike, but again, I would almost bet his military commanders are under orders to let the nukes fly if it were to happen. And he may have told us that in regards to arming Ukraine with fighter jets and attack bombers. Not sure about that one though.
And as an aside, Biden's proposed taxes on capital gains to 39% and folks making over $400K, you can bet the "wtf are we doing in Ukraine" rhetoric is gonna ramp up. Over time at least. I mean will Ukraine funding basically turn into something like Social Security or Medicare(?), ie its just part of the budget that can't go away.
I dunno. I don't see a solution.
What are you guys thinking?
I don't know what the answer is.

Do you really think he would go into Poland?If Ukraine lose, sooner or later there might be an escalation between Russia & Poland.
Then either the NATO becomes a dysfunctional organization, or it engages in direct conflict with Russia.
Some say that casualty rate would be 1:1000 in NATO's favor.
Then Russians, out of desperation, would use nukes, since they see all of this as an existential crisis.
And then, we all are, done.
That's why we have to make sure, that Ukraine doesn't lose.
