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

                Russia's airlines are starting to worry about replacement parts. If they can't do proper maintenance and service, they might be denied access to many airports.

                And, speaking of aircraft, a major supplier of fighter-jet parts is in ... Germany.

                  Saw a story that seizing the oligarchs' yachts and other property might be illegal. Wouldn't surprise me.

                    Heard that as well. On the other hand, the extraordinary actions of one country deserve extraordinary responses from other countries. In this case seizure of assets abroad linked to Russian lawmakers and oligarchs are fair game. Let the bleeding hearts go ahead and bleed.

                        I believe invading neighboring countries and shelling residential areas is rather frowned upon as well.

                              Many in Moscow have cited soaring inflation as the most egregious problem

                              Wonder if they are calling it Bidinflation?

                                          It’s a diplomatic badge of honour to be PNG’d by Russia as of late. It means nothing and is entirely for domestic consumption over there.
