Sanctions against Russia

[facthunter]

Medvedev has always been the Biggest Ranter of extreme threats There's nothing new in that. How many Ruskies  speak "Litle Rocket Man's tok  tok"?   Nev

Medvedev is an alcoholic, he's rarely sober.

[kgwilson]

He always looks pissed. I have never seen him look anything near sober.

Russians are KNOW for  it. Remember Yeltsin?   Russians pass out on the  steps and wake up frozen to death. Nev

[Marty_d]

While I take your meaning, I would pedantically argue that not one Russian has ever woken up frozen to death.

[facthunter]

It's not like you to be pedantic.. it's a bit like some of those IRISH Jokes.  Nev

Vodka doesn't freeze, so their bloodstream should be ok.

On the steps on the steppes.

Putin is a dictator who would really like to be a Tsar of a revised Russian Empire that would include all the republics lost in 1990. No Russian dictator has ever given a toss about how many Russians die so long as it fulfills his aims.  Putin is also like Trump, a complete and utter malignant narcissist. That's why they seem to get along though Putin is all over Trump like a cheap suit.

Speaking of cheap suits, here's Medvedev dancing in his blue suit. At least Yeltsin was amusing, Medvedev is a total dick.

He's never lived this one down.

Boris Yeltsin got up to some legendary antics at times. Like the time when he produced it on the tarmac in the USA. He was visiting the US and was fairly tanked when he was leaving. Walking (or staggering) across to his plane, he stopped, flopped it out, and p*ssed on the tarmac in front of everyone. He had a certain style about him.

Was that a subtle parting political comment?

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin’s forces fire intercontinental ballistic missile for first time, Kyiv claims

 

Russia has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, Kyiv has claimed as two British-made Storm Shadow missiles are shot down in Russian airspace.

 

Russia had threatened to strike Kyiv with a “massive” new missile in retaliation for Ukraine using Western weapons.

 

The Russian military could be readying to launch RS-26 Rubezh missile, an intermediate ground-based missile which has not been deployed in the Ukraine war before from a site in the city of Astrakhan by the Caspian Sea, reported a Moscow-based newspaper Moskovky Komsomolets.

 

This comes as Russian air defences shot down two British Storm Shadow cruise missiles, Russia’s defence ministry said as momentum builds in the West’s military support for Kyiv’s war effort.

The British-made missile – which Kyiv has been lobbying to use beyond Russia’s borders for months – was fired at Russia on Wednesday, with images published by Russian military bloggers purporting to show Storm Shadow fragments in Russia’s Kursk region, beyond Ukraine’s northeastern border.
