Whoever manages to park a 7.62 mm hunk of lead in the anatomy of one Mr Vlad Putin should be honored and counted a hero of the motherland.
As I have said repeatedly over these last months … this is the dumbest thing Putin could do for himself and his country. There was zero need for this. Now he has been ostracized and his country cut off. His people are eventually going to rise up and kick his ass into next week.

One of my favorite “Seinfeld” quotes concerns that smug, overrated asshole:
Jerry: No, Elaine and I we’re just discussing whether I could admit a man is attractive.
Kramer: Hmm. Oh. Yeah. I’ll tell you who is an attractive man, George Will.
Jerry: Really?
Kramer: Yeah! He has clean looks, scrubbed and shampooed and…
Elaine: He’s smart.
Kramer: No, no I don’t find him all that bright.

OT from this just a little bit:
There is a little girl in a Romanian Refugee camp, with her quite pregnant Mom. Her name is Arina, and she is desolate; she just wants to be with her Papa, in Ukraine. It is her birthday today. And, she got a really nice party. Oh, how this makes me happy to know thewonderful people and humanity in this world.
I share her birthday today and support her with my donation to the relief agencies helping her.
Mnohaja lita, Arina (Many years)

FYI… I have been driving a Toyota Tacoma since 1996. It’s been my trusty pick up since I bought it new.

He did not want Europe creeping close to him. He thought it would be much better if he crept close to Europe.
Idiot.
Somebody else posted a line about the farmer who did not want all the land; he just wanted the land that touched his.
Applies here. Putin is an idiot.

How psychotic can this man be? He’s got like half of Asia or something and yet he still needs more land. This has actually been a recurring theme throughout Russian history, not feeling satisfied with merely being a massive Asian power and always looking westward for approval and belonging and being resentful when it doesn’t instantly come. It’s the great Russian inferiority complex, too good for Asia, not good enough for Europe. It’s like a collective personality disorder, Borderline Nation Disorder.

Meh, your car is practically brand new. I bet it’s OBD2. I drive a '92. But I’ve been to Tacoma. Nice museums.
I’ve only owned Toyotas and Subarus (did you know SUBARU backwards is U R A BUS?)

Old Bastard Dirty the Second.
Or, On Board Diagnostic 2. Most cars from '96 on have a data port under the dash or in the engine bay that you can connect an inexpensive diagnostic tool to see why that check engine light is on and monitor things like engine rpm, O2 levels, etc.
Nice roadrunner. Meep meep!

Watched my mechanic plug into the port because my check engine light was on
Some valve in the emissions system needed adjusting
Their tool is a lot more sophisticated and can actually control the car. They have bluetooth versions that let you control a car from a phone. Scary. Now if only we can do that with Russia tanks and APCs, but they’re older than Ivanka.
And, probably the PCV, EGR or purge valve, or the idle control.
