"The 1980's are calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

The problem with "calling for peace" is eventually you run out of other peoples land to cede to aggressors.

Oh, and those stairs in the Kremlin are getting even more treacherous.

Reports are coming in that Anatoly Karpov is in a medically induced coma. A long time Putin loyalist, he recently came out in opposition to the Ukraine invasion, stating that Putin should withdraw to stop killing innocent people.

He had a 'fall' - or according to some witnesses was beaten severely - as he was leaving the Duma.

You might remember Karpov as one of the greatest Chess champions of all time in the 70s and 80s, who held the #1 ranking in the world for a decade, the 3rd longest run of any champion ever.

Putin had him beaten down and its unknown if he'll survive.

THE. GOP. DON'T. SPEND. TAXPAYER. MONEY. ON. TAXPAYERS. THEY. LITERALLY. OPPOSE. ANYTHING. THAT. HELPS. THE. POPULATION. BECAUSE. SOCIALISM.

You stupid fucking idiot

NO party can piss away money they never get their hands on in the first place.

So you're saying you avoid paying taxes which just makes you a freeloading bum

No, I'm saying what I said, and nothing more. If you wanted me to expand on that, you could fucking ask.

Where's the fun in that?

Fair enough.

I use the service BookBub to get email notifications about ebooks that are on sale. Today, one of the books listed for sale was A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that it was a novel from 2006.

So much for the gripping tale of the brave Ukrainian farmer towing away the Russian tanks with their trusty tractor and becoming an army irregular.

If it was once your fate to claim that Russia had to invade Ukraine because of NATO or Nazis, it now falls to you to explain that Russia did so because of Satan.

Another big win for Putin. US looking to increase defense production capability, harden it and increase NATO interoperability.

The Remote Control Killers Behind Russia’s Cruise Missile Strikes on Ukraine

The Laotian T-34's were obtained to use in parades, and in feature films. I think we're more likely to see T-55AM2'S and older model T-62's before we see any T-34'S on the battlefield.

Why supporting Ukraine keeps America safe.

Hope his mom doesn't feel bad:

Putin ally admits interfering in US elections
According to Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russia has interfered in US ballots and plans to continue.

Yesterday in Astrakhan, Russia, for unknown reasons, a ship caught on fire in the port. By an interesting coincidence, Iranian drones are being delivered through the port of Astrakhan for the war in Ukraine.

Someone needs to check up on @Amaris. Between the midterms and Kherson she is not doing well today.

More Russian military recruiting offices get torched by anarchists.. Oopsie poopsie.

I would like to see proof, that the US "meddled" during Maidan, in 2014. I would also like you to explain why Ukraine has no right to Join NATO.

There is nothing to prove. These are all stupid fantasies of deluded tankies and contrarians. It is not worth to go down to this level of debate. These people are beyond help.

Russian TV host Andrei Norkin's realisation that his country lacks freedom of speech:

If I back the decision to withdraw from Kherson, I'm going to jail for questioning Russia's territorial integrity

And if I oppose it, I'm going to jail for discrediting the armed forces
