    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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

      On a lighter note:

      Putin dies and goes to hell. However, since he’s used to doing deals with devils, he manages to get a day off from torment and goes home to Moscow to enjoy Vodka and see how Russia is doing in his absence.

      The streets are clean, the shops are open, and people look well and relatively happy (for Russians). At the bar, he orders 3 Vodkas and sips them slowly, watching all the people nattering about sports and boasting about business, like the KGB spy he always was.

      Satisfied, Putin turns to the bartender and asks “how much for the drinks?”

      The bartender swiftly pulls out the cashless pay-terminal and tells him: “Five Euros”.

      Elbows up!

        After the war, I'd certainly like Ukraine to reconstitute some of its navy, particularly submarines.. Germany builds a nice, stealthy boat...

          So do we.

          On Thursday I played golf with a guy who puts the stealth goop coating on the Virginia-class boats that they build just down the street from here.

          These boats are not easy to find.

                      I was going to ask 'so, who's going to find negative stuff to post about her qualifications?', but I thought it was overly snarky.

                      I was only joking

                            Low risk, high visibility. Ultimately rather silly. I doubt Ukrainian troops will be much impressed that he sent his wife.

                              About as useful as Canada sending the Dauphin- which I understand is underway at the moment. Better to have sent just Chrystia and/or Anita.
