    Oh Ambassador, please tell Li that any launch on the Russian Federation is accompanied by an equal, if not more numerous launch into your great country.

    Russia was invited. By the Ukrainians that were being shelled, for years, by the Nazis you romanticize.

    Fixation for the Nazis. A convenience for the Russians.

    Russia military deaths in Ukraine have exceeded that of all other wars combined. 25 times that of Afghanistan.

    China like to think that they play the long game. They through patience got Hong Kong back; I think they will not think a nuclear exchange is anyone’s interest. But then again, I thought Russia wouldn’t do something as mindlessly stupid as invading the Ukraine.

    14,000 according to the BBC. Much to its dismay.

    I believe the reference was to Russians killed in Russian wars.

    British Broadcasting Company a Russian source ??? Bear in mind the 14,000 was compiled in conjunction with Meduza, deemed a terrorist organization by the Kremlin.

    The plane was worth about $350 million. Ouch. It is now for sale for $350 on eBay . . .

    Bakhmut might have to finally be abandoned by Ukraine in the coming days.

    also more reminders about how wrong some people were at the start of the war.

    Series of drone attacks on the Russian home front. Ukrainian, Russian domestic resistance, or third party? Whoever it is, I hope it hurts and terrifies.
