Ukraine Invasion 2: no more Black Sea fleet for you

They’re pretty desperate for bodies, especially if they won’t be missed by anyone that matters.

Gradually and then suddenly, according to Hemingway. Putin isn’t going to want to let this get out of hand.

On the other hand, maybe he sees this kind of thing as a “recruiting” opportunity.

That headline doesn’t pass the smell test. 500 billion? in this Russian economy? I think those separatists would get nothing but empty promises from Putin

We were supposed to get an official report at the end of '23 but obviously that didn’t happen. This article, written by the author of Black Hawk Down, is interesting for background and because it’s a good summary of the story up to this point.

The conclusion is that Ukraine is the #1 suspect. It’s suggested that the top Ukrainian General, Zaluzhny, ordered it without Zelensky’s knowledge. If true, it could explain why he’s been in trouble with Zelensky and is reportedly about to be fired. Maybe it’s just that simple, but I’ve watched too much Columbo to be fully convinced; there are still a lot of loose ends I’d like to see tied up.

Oh, so the purpose of Tucker’s visit was not to attend the Bolshoi.

He got an hour with Putin. No word on the length of the table.

Pretty cool. Donating half a billion to Ukraine.

I watched this and as a free citizen and not a slave I have decided for myself that Tucker is a disaster of a human being.

Iranian drones are costing Putin a lot more than people thought and he has to pay in gold. Tucker probably has to settle for rubles.

He’s gone.

Tucker interview with Putin later today.

I know there are fires in every major city every day but this seems like a lot of fire.

I didn’t watch the full Tucker interview. I’ll take Nielsen’s word it’s not worth it.

Plenty of clips out there showing that Tucker is Putin’s bitch.

Tucker didn’t get what he wanted from Putin and the feeling was apparently mutual. No word on how good the tea was.
