Sorry , Vlad, I've got some bad news for you..............

Putin articulated a vision of sovereignty rooted in the nation's ability to stand independently, stating, "We must make our country self-sufficient, which is the key indicator of sovereignty."

Ah, the fascist and populist's dream of Autarky.

Rainbow Boy thinks Russia's economy is sound, apparently. It's a shame he doesn't have the gumption to discuss why.

Russia faces critical shortage of modern air defense systems

Andrey Kartapolov, the chair of the Russian parliament's defense committee, has made a statement regarding the Russian army's inability to defend St. Petersburg, the second-largest city in Russia, from attacks by Ukrainian kamikaze drones. In his statement, Kartapolov acknowledged the...

Maybe I am reading more into this than I should but this part intrigued me

Reflecting on the international landscape, Putin criticized the duplicitous nature of global economic relations, highlighting efforts by other nations to undermine Russia's competitive advantages. "The speeches are sweet and good, but everybody plots to take a bite here or take a bite there," he observed, lamenting the strategic maneuvers aimed at diminishing Russia's economic standing.

I just want him to defend his implicit criticisms of opinions I and others aired. The fact that he refuses to do so ought to be pointed out.

I abjure any homophobic insinuations.

I noticed early on, that the rainbows seem to fall on certain persons, regardless of their post's content.

In a way, targeted trolling.

Expected soon, means already there. Good news, but how are these getting through Ukraine support blocks in Washington?

New US-made longer-range bomb expected to arrive as soon as Wednesday in Ukraine

The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb doesn't even exist in the U.S. inventory.
