    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              More:

              "It can still get worse for Putin and for Russia. And even the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield won't change this at all," Petraeus said.

              Still, he said the nuclear threat must be taken "seriously."

              Karl asked him if the use of such weapons would require the U.S. to directly intervene in the conflict with NATO.

              Petraeus said a response might see the U.S. and its NATO allies "take out every Russian conventional force that we can see and identify on the battlefield" in Ukraine, the contested region of Crimea that Russia annexed in 2014 and ships in the Black Sea.

              "It cannot go unanswered. But it doesn't expand -- it's not nuclear for nuclear. You don't want to get into a nuclear escalation here," Petraeus said. "But you have to show that this cannot be accepted in any way."

                      People take out "cash" from their accounts at a rate of 2.6 billion rubles per hour."

                          You still have contacts "over there," right?

                          What's the sense of the "regular people?"

                          When this started, you said it was divided in threes: supportive, indifferent and opposed.

                          Has that changed?

                              You mistake me for the real Renauda. An equine. She was into hay and oats. But not too much of the latter - Arabian through and through.

                              To answer your question. All my Russian contacts are against the special operation and have therefore gone to ground so to speak on discussing it openly. They are however worried as to what is next - they fear Stalin’s ghost in the wings for them.

                              Ukrainian contacts on the other hand are cautiously optimistic but recklessly vengeful.

                                  It is my now former Russian friends who have been living here for 25 or more years that concern me. Am afraid they have all drunk the Putin Kool-aide. FWIW, they can all get back to where they once belonged.
