The Ukraine war thread

[Mik]

I'm not a huge believer in coincidence where Russia is concerned.

[Renauda]

I’m just channeling Steve Witkoff on incidents of this sort.

[Mik]

Some sarcasm is thinly veiled. Some not veiled at all.

[Renauda]

I don’t even try any more. In his current role, the man’s incompetence in the game of high stakes diplomacy is an existential threat to Western civilisation.

How’s that for an unabashed and deliberate dunk?

[Wim]

In India Putin just repeated his stance on 'Novorussiya'.
So far no reaction from the US...

[Renauda]

No surprise, but then it is not likely anyone is left in Washington other than possibly Marco Rubio who knows what Novorossiya means or even implies.

[Mik]

Just another bullshit but deeply felt justification. A riddle wrapped in an enigma...

[Renauda]

All part of the twisted mythology making Russia up as the third Rome.

Plausible autocorrect when you make a mistake trying to type Dr. Phibes.

[Renauda]

Plausible maybe, but what I wrote was deliberate and not without malice.
