What ever you do, don’t mention the war……

Ahead of the meeting, the Kremlin reportedly urged members of the Human Rights Council “not to upset” Putin with thorny questions about the war in Ukraine, independent news outlet Verstka said.

Members of the body were also reportedly urged to avoid the “toxic” issue of Russian troop deaths in Ukraine.

I note though that he is beginning to turn down nuclear rhetoric. Perhaps Chairman Xi had a little phone discussion with him.

A small drone with a couple of incendiary grenades can literally be carried anywhere.

There are a lot of targets that can be taken out with just that small nudge.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

He needs to make up his mind. One day he's backing off, the next he is saber rattling. I think once again he's trying to shake western resolve to arm Ukraine.

Russian diplomat complains to Turkey about Ukraine military's aggressive behavior. Seriously, you could not make this stuff up.
