Trump and Putin share a single one between them.
(At the moment, it’s stuck in customs somewhere near Omsk.)

If Zelensky survives, he’ll be a folk hero. I bet all the GOPers who were previously (very shallowly) pro-Russia will jump on the Zelensky bandwagon and for a while, movies will be made with brave Ukrainians facing down cruel Russians. It’s not good for Putin’s image.

What does it say about Putin’s power when the Europeans are overtly giving weapons to Ukrainians in this fight? Are they concerned about Putin - yes, Are they afraid of him - no. This is doing much more damage to Putin’s image and power than he could have imagined. The Russians should hope to find a way to retreat without looking like they’re surrendering.
Maybe Sweden or Switzerland will offer to host peace talks after a ceasefire?

…and the GOP (through FOX, RWNJ and BothSider Nation) will somehow concoct some sort of blame for Biden.
I mention it so as to caution against taking these misinformation platforms seriously.

They already are. Gym Jordan tweeted “God bless President Zelensky” this morning. Never mind that little ol’ Trump impeachment for trying to blackmail Gym’s new hero and deny him already-approved aid.

Oh, I’m sure they’re in a tank rolling toward Kyiv by now, avenging the stolen 2020 election or something. They’re the ones who are gonna get fooled by the switched-up road signs.

I see the Coen Brothers working up a Brother Where Art Thou-type story about some clueless Russian Gen Z soldiers in Odessa. Maybe their commander has love issues and tries to drag a young Ukrainian beauty back to Russia to make her his wife, and the story ends up being an effort to break up a Persephone and Hades kidnapping.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev reacted to personal sanctions issued against top Russian officials, writing on his VK page that sanctions are a “myth, a fiction, a figure of speech.”
Wow! Hurts that badly? I mean, COVID was a myth too.

Isn’t it interesting how cultures that seemingly had no contact with one another, or at least that we know of, come up with the same type of foods? Just about every culture has some sort of turnover or dumpling. The Chinese have Dim Sum. The Italians have ravioli. The Polish have pierogi, Americans have Hot Pockets, etc. What is about humans that makes us say, “hey, I think I’ll just wrap this up in dough?”

- Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev reacted to personal sanctions issued against top Russian officials, on his VK page that sanctions are a “myth, a fiction, a figure of speech.” He added that they had been implemented due to “political impotence, emerging from the inability to change Russia’s path.”

I’ve wondered that same thing! And there are tamales, too. And even something in my childhood known as the “Natchitoches meat pie.” And even though you say that “Nackatish,” those things were so good I still remember how they tasted.
