Now I have heard it all, yes I am at war with you and yes we use the Black Sea Fleet to launch missiles at you...
BUT
Russia is ready to return to "grain deal" and allow bringing grain out of Ukraine if Kyiv guarantees the safety of the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, - Russian media

that will be the grain deal everyone else seems to be carrying on with regardless of Putin.

Washington (CNN) - Iran is preparing to send approximately 1,000 additional weapons, including surface-to-surface short range ballistic missiles and more attack drones, to Russia to use in its war against Ukraine, officials from a western country that closely monitors Iran's weapons program told CNN.
Trust Iran to try to make a bad situation worse!

Belarus continues to transfer its military equipment to the Russian troops. Here an echelon of 20 BMP-2s left for Luhansk.

Thus, over the past month, the Belarussian government has transferred to the needs of Russia:

- at least 94 T-72A tanks
- 36-44 Urals
- 20 BMP-2

Extra equipment is one thing, but do the Russians have properly trained and qualified personnel to operate them? Most likely not!

Does it matter? What Belarus is doing is actually disarming itself while allowing Russian troops to infiltrate into their country, the more that arrive the harder it will be for the Belarusian military to revolt, get rid of their hated leader and defend from Russia coming to his rescue or taking the Country over…. It’s more like a stealth invasion.

Solovyov is getting more demented as the war goes on... he is worried, really worried and even says they committed crimes in the Donbas... BTW it's another parody


The really worrying one is the one were Margarita Simonyan is almost prepping the Country for Nuclear War.. it reads to me that Russia was worried that the youth was losing their Russian values and starting to embrace the Western World and that was dangerous to the Russian politicians and Oligarchs as they would slowly have lost influence and hence power over the population as they control.

Mobilised men of the Russian 4th Guards Tank Division are sheltering in an abandoned house in Svatove without food or water after fleeing from the front line under intense Ukrainian fire that killed their commander. They are now being threatened with court martials. Thread ⬇️

I'm not sure that it is a parody, it appears that Solovyadayada stopped drinking the Kool-Aid, and is prepared to tell it as it is. His observations are accurate as to what has transpired, and are not Putin speak at all, in fact, his closing comments may end up with a new statistic splattered under a high window. Hope his insurance is up to date, however, for the damage that he has done pushing the party line, there are many needlessly dead Ukrainians and Russians. He won't get a free Lada on his demise, but Putin will be weighing the effect of the media mouthpiece of the madhouse taking a swan lake dive.

Now, the lady talking head appears to be on the spectrum, and not in a happy manner. Her diatribe on dresses etc are enough to ask "what was the crazy lady saying?". She seems to be off her meds and in need of some quality care to work out why she is bat poop crazy. Maybe she should be given some time on the pistol range like her sidekick lady from RT, might clear the bats outta the attics. "Sorry, what happened to the nazis?" They are now wearing dresses? LGBTQ? Wish the crazies would settle on a single cases belli beyond "The Empire Spats Back".

Gonna be an interesting few days on TV; "I'm betting Arby's, they have the meets". Will Solovyev survive 7 days before having his suicide, or will he take a caution and return to the mothership?
"Dark Lord Putin".... reality TV.
