"We'll stop shooting at you (for now) if you give us everything we've taken."

[Renauda]

Something like that. Most Christian of Putin to be so magnanimous about it.

My Great Grandfather was governor of Tambov…before 1917.

[Wim]

@George: was that Luzhenovsky or his successor?

[George K]

Pavel Kandidov - here he is in 1905.

[Jolly]

That's some really nice log work...

[George K]

Pavel was the governor of the Tambov oblast. I’m told that he was friends with Leo Tolstoy. However, I don’t know anything beyond that.

They do seem to eat their young, these communists.

[Renauda]

Once again, the Kremlin maintains that is Ukraine’s fault:

@Renauda are those “River to the Sea” assholes coming the bombing of a children’s hospital?

No?

Didn’t think so.

[Renauda]

But of course not, Putin supports the plight of the Palestinians in their struggle against US global hegemony, Zionist imperialism and Ukrainian Nazis.

I saw a related story with a photo of the team that attacked the children's hospital.

How long before this guy finds a window to fall from?

[Jolly]

He defected. If the CIA has any sense, he's in Washington by now.

[Renauda]

Poland considers downing Russian missiles over Western Ukraine:

Even discussing this option is enough to make Putin roll over in bed for nights on end. Let him squirm. He’s already lost the war and the peace anyhow..
