If you're a Russian oligarch, what (or who) is the main thing ruining your life right now? Perhaps the +792 caller is a halo (horns?) investor looking for a piece of that crowd-funding idea of yours. Never look a gift kleptocrat in the mouth as they say.
Better answer the call. Likely to be somebody that wants to hide his mega yacht in your area, skipper.
Words from the wise…
I suppose soon Poland will also need help dealing with the Ukranian refugees.
.Chef Andres is the best. Yes, he's become a media darling, but it's because he also walks the walk, doesn't just talk the talk. Long before he became a "personality", he was doing the work of love and charity that most of us wish we could do in our local communities, but on a world-wide scale wherever there is mayhem. We are in awe of his energy and will continue to supports his efforts.
Awesome, and they are cooking in Poland that huge Boscht! Maybe they can given Biden the leftover beets so he can paint his red line. I can donate the WH a permanent marker.
Apologies Chris if I crossed the line. For the record I did not vote for Trump. I think Putin is trying to enter history like JFK did with the Cuban missile crisis, and I really hope he does not. I think that history is being written now.
Well, since the Poles offered their entire fleet of Mig-29s to be transferred through the US, your valid point Walter is no longer a training issue. It is a valid "fear of escalation" political decision. It seems to be about what constitutes a proxy war vs. a direct war, according to this very interesting article:
I think he is testing the international communities tolerance to Russian violence. He may not stop until he has found the threshold for where the USA is finally willing to take more direct action.
If he was worried about a threshold why would he even start an invasion? I suspect he is far more interested in Europe's response, especially Germany and nuclear France. Don't forget that Ukraine's border is only 500 klms from Moscow. I see that NATO has denied Ukraine fast track membership. This could be an appeasement.
Someone with daughters thought this up. Lots of storming out of rooms and slamming of doors. This puts immense pressure on Putin.
You bring out a great point. Can the women in the male leader's life influence him towards peace?
