Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

I would expect they hope to have by the end of June. Until then, they are just going to have to take the losses. ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Gerasimov was featured in a Russian media piece in February claiming he wasn't dead, but that was videoed in a building and not independently date-verifiable. Prior to that he hadn't been seen since September 2023, and he hasn't been seen since the February piece. He and Shiogu used to be a double a...

As some had predicted Shoigu has been given the boot as Russian Defence Minister. In his place is a complete and utter banker, who like Shoigu knows sweet FA about the military. Which probably means putin is moving his little toy soldiers around a tabletop in his bunker and issuing stupid orders him...

A witch is what is missing, PHX.
Rossian has it. The Inklings were a group of literary types, including CS Lewis ('The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe') and JRR Tolkein ('The Lord of the Rings'), who met in said Oxford pub.
OH declared.
