Maybe some enterprising individual in his organization finally hired “Meta” to build him an epistemologically-closed virtual reality to spare his deflating ego (and us) from having to deal with continued bad news.
(CNN Business)Stellantis, the maker of Dodge and Jeep vehicles, has a factory in Russia. But it has not announced plans to pull out the country in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, unlike some other companies. Chief executive Carlos Tavares said he feels that doing so would only harm the wrong people.
“We consider we should not mix regime and people,” he said in an interview with CNN Business. “The regime is one thing, the citizens are another thing.”

Piss off enough ordinary Russians and they will most certainly blame Putin.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the establishment of a no-fly zone in Ukraine by the United States and its NATO allies could lead to a “full-fledged war in Europe.” He said Washington would continue to work with its allies to provide Ukrainians with the means to defend themselves from Russian aggression.
“The only way to actually implement something like a no-fly zone is to send NATO planes into Ukrainian airspace and to shoot down Russian planes, and that could lead to a full-fledged war in Europe. President Biden has been clear that we are not going to get into a war with Russia,” Blinken said during a news conference Friday in Brussels, where he is meeting with European allies following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Bill Browder, the Magnitsky Act dude, says we will starve Putin out. It’s already happening.
No need for a no fly zone anyway if you send in a few thousand SAMs.
