PUTIN'S WAR

THE GOOD GUY

A national hero is born right before our eyes.

His response to offers of aid evacuating will go down in history books:

The hare outruns the fox because the fox is running for its dinner and the hare is running for its life.

-o-

For Ukraine to have a Jewish President descended from a Holocaust survivor standing up to a dictator is breathtakingly empowering.

LISTEN HERE

-o-

-o-

Did you know Cossacks came from Ukraine?

The yellow area is the cossack area...

Today's young Ukrainians came from a long line of warriors.

THE PENCIL DICK TYRANT

-o-

But wait there's more...

*Verification Requested

-o-

-o-

-o-

Well, Putin does have a few admirers...

Remember this - it's not just "Oh they're conservatives who support Trump". They're openly fascist & support Putin murdering Ukrainians.

-o-

Said to be from Russia...

-o-

-o-

Probably not. I'm just hoping the generals come to their senses and overthrow Putin then turn him over for an international war crimes tribunal.

OPINIONS OF OTHERS

THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS

-o-

-o-

Listen to it here:

-o-

-o-

Russians have found out about the sanctions and the swift ban. A bank run has begun.

-o-

Russian protestors are starting to protect each other from visibly nervous police.

IMAGES FROM THE FRONT

This dramatic footage shows Russian operatives trying to sneak behind enemy lines.

*MNBT

-o-

-o-

-o-

There are reports the Russians didn't plan that well and Russian soldiers ended up in Ukraine without food after a few days.

-o-

Edit: I don't have a source but there do appear to be Ukrainian flags on the left side of the screen but this clip may not have been recent.  This just shows the effectiveness of Molotov Cocktails against armored vehicles.

Edit2: This is old footage likely from 2014. The residents of Ukraine have been told to throw Molotov cocktails at the Russians. This video illustrates what that would look like.

-o-

"I'm still alive, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, everything will be fine. Long live Ukraine."

-o-

Ukrainian civilians stop a Russian tank with bare hands.

At least temporarily.

-o-

I think "Go Fuck Yourself" is a great war cry.

READ ALL ABOUT IT

It's a sad fact that during wartime, while some people are dying others are getting filthy rich.

^^A1^^

^^A2^^

All I ask is that politicians be consistent. If you don't like, say, hurrying in a judge when the other party is in charge then stick to your convictions and be against hurrying in a judge when your guy is in charge.

And I know no party is immune.

^^A3^^

I think that is a powerful observation and may help explain my occasional rantings.

^^A4^^

I once had a friend read one of my murder mysteries in which a sheriff was tortured by a drug gang and she said that I was one sick son of a bitch.

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

*We already have millions...and the number is growing. To be clear, if you think one word on Qanon is true then you are an idiot.

^^A7^^

^^A8^^

Male Preening...no thanks.

^^A9^^

How does a "Strong sense of justice" manifest itself?

^^A10^^

^^A11^^

Somebody has a good marketing firm.

^^A12^^

But some people have a great marketing firm...

^^A13^^

^^A14^^

I once asked my German friend if he knew the square root of 81. He said no.

EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE

Crosswind

That looks terrifying.

^^B3^^

The Parachute Ride

^^B6^^

^^B8^^

I think they were hamming it up.

^^B9^^

That's a goddamn garbage can!

^^B10^^

I must go, my planet needs me...

^^B11^^

Did you know a cat has 32 muscles in each ear?

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

The official accidentally awarded the gold medal to 3rd place so she, in turn, awarded it to 1st place herself.

You had one job...ONE JOB!

^^C1^^

By the way, I wondered and looked this up:

If a curling stone is broken in play, a replacement stone shall be placed where the largest fragment comes to rest. The inside edge of the replacement stone shall be placed in the same position as the inside edge of the largest fragment with the assistance of a measuring stick.

A Man and a Goose 

^^C11^^

This is what we call a 'turtleshell defense' in hockey.

^^C12^^

Revenge

^^C13^^

^^C14^^

Terrifying?

Well...no.

^^C15^^

According to my wife, releasing one bee in the bedroom during sexy time creates a sense of real danger and can be a total turn-on.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

Apparently, there's a lot of that going around...

^^D1^^

This happened one year ago today.

The @NASAPersevere  rover was delivered to the surface of Mars by the Skycrane, a jet-powered aerial vehicle that flew to its death as soon as the rover was safely on the ground.

These are its last moments. A goddamn hero.

^^D8^^

This is what 1M mosquitos look like...

They were caught in a trap in Sanibel, Florida.

The Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. Mosaic "Plowman of the Universe"

Authoritarian Regimes always have the worse art because original thought and thinking outside the box is punished.
