biden said he’s ready to visit Kyiv?
pretty big if true.
just say the CSPAN clip. it’s likely another ad lib. they are working out the details of sending senior officials to kyiv, and at the end asked if he’s ready to go, to which answers: “Yeah.”
No backsies.

RU Minister of Defense Shojgu has apparently suffered a massive heart attack (another one?), according to some russian channels. TASS isn’t showing it though, letting the speculation run wild that maybe it was induced by a chemical agent ?!?!?!! Huge if True!

What a bummer for Shoigu to be at his job for 20 years and then to suffer a massive heart attack when it’s finally go time.
edit: only source I’m seeing is Daily Mail, so it’s probably like 50/50.

I thought it was an urban myth that people who fall to their deaths die of a heart attack before hitting the ground.

I hadn’t realized that the ship they told to go fuck itself was the Moskva. That’s pretty incredible.
pardon my ignorance, could you ELI5 this? i feel like i’m missing out on a great joke.
at first i thought it was a music chord, so like a sad trombone or something?
think it’s a reference to the game battleship, where you hide your ships on a grid that has letters and numbers on it. D-7 would be 4th row and 7th column (or vice versa not sure)

Coincidence?
Trump would have declared war on Canada over this. Biden is weak.
