It's inconvenient.

It's softball compared to what's happening in Iran.

I'd like to wake up one morning to news that the Russian lines collapsed and the Ukrainians had seized Belgorod, Rostov-na-Donu, Klintsy and Starodub, and just for Sholokhovskian fun, Millerovo.

I would note the lack of reports about strikes on Volgograd/Stalingrad. When you're being called a Jewish gay-loving liberal fascist (= "don't support Russian government claims&quot striking Stalingrad would be a bad, bad PR ploy.


Queued for watching this weekend for the hell of it, Zelenskyy playing D'Artagnan in the 2004 Russian "" target="_blank">Three Musketeers" movie. It's a comedy, so I'm thinking I shouldn't let my hopes so much as stir or rustle in their slumber in expectation of quality. They should be Darthula Kola-tochter and sleep, o ye hopes.

I haven't digested the post in its entirety...
Yet...which I intend to do.

But I'm curious, what does this mean?

" ...claims&quot "
