    Actually it’s Russian colloquialism for someone acting the arsehole idiot. Goes like this

    рожа его просит кирпич.

        No it’s the third person singular form of the verb просить (procit’) meaning “to ask, request or,as in this context, beg”.

                  This is what the Iraq insurgency might have looked like had they had the West's intelligence and weaponry behind it.

                      Amid all else happening in the world at the moment, the Kremlin continues its nonsensical demands and posturing:

                      In other news Trump admonishes Obama and Trudeau over excluding Putin from their number:

                      It was Harper, not Trudeau who was Canadian PM when Putin got the boot:

                        So Zelensky did everything Trump asked him to do, signed away mineral rights, agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, and Trump still cut off previously funded weapons supplies.

                        A lesson to all here.

                            He may be trying to shut the war down, hoping that the recent events in Iran have given Putin pause. If so I think he’s wrong.

                              Ya think? I am more than certain Trump is dead wrong. Just last week in the wake of the US strike on Iran, Putin stated:

                              On June 20, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, he said just that: “I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian peoples to be one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours.” He went on to add: “We have an old rule. Wherever a Russian soldier sets foot is ours.”
