Are the North Nigerians in Kiev yet ? You always said 6 months
HaHaHaHa!
The fact is that the war in Ukraine has gone terribly wrong for the Russians. They need to surrender or back off otherwise Putin will have massive problems in Russia.
Why? He wants to somehow save face from the conflict with Ukraine
Why indeed. The government in PL have suggested that he might. Whether or not they have any special intelligence about this is of course a private thing however it has certainly been reported in the media. The Minister of National Defence commented on this.
Logic and Putin do not belong in the same sentence.
an invasion of Poland or any other crazy idea
They wouldn't invade because they couldn't invade. Nor could they afford a war on another front. They may well however try some stunt to distract the free world. Whether that involves Poland, one of the Baltics or perhaps elsewhere is another matter.
No one else has brought this up, so I will.... Ukrainian drones hit the oil refinery in Omsk, one of the biggest in russia and over 2000 klicks from the Ukrainian border...
russian z bloggers are having a sad one...

Also, Ukrainian attacks on russian refining ability could lead to food shortages. The russian government, being russian, could not care less if a big part of the population goes hungry, but things are looking bad forthe famed 'russian people'....
We shouldn't underestimate the importance of this strike.
lead to food shortages
This is happening already. They have to deliver food etc to supermarkets hundreds of miles apart and due to fuel shortages anything fresh is spoiling before it reaches the shops.

LOL. Just ordered delivery from local Auchan supermarket. Nothing missing from my regular basked noted. But one fun thing - I see local poultry products (from producer just about 10 km away), that was not presented before, and owner once complained on local news portal, that Auchan set "entry fee" too high.
Diesel is available anywhere, 92 gas is available on most gas stations today, 95/98 is in shortage yet.
Tucker Carlson says all the Russians are shopping at expensive French hypermarts all the time. Just like everyone in Poland is - certainly not Biedronka and Dino, nobody ever goes there. I'm sure luxurious French hypermarket chains would definitely suffer the same supply issues as whatever the Russian equivalent of Biedra is. Definitely. Even if Velund is to believed.

No. Auchan, really, is middle level. Sometimes we go (or order delivery online from) more expensive Metro Cash and Carry chain (known as Makro in Spain). And if we need some really luxurious - there is always "Azbuka Vkusa" to visit (in person).
For basic needs there is something like "Piaterochka" of "Fasol" chains of inexpensive small shops scattered in living buildings around city. Few steps away from home, it is visited in person for a brief purchases.
Metro in Russia offers both wholesale distribution channel for small shops, and regular shops with online delivery orders capability for end users. Prices usually a bit higher than in Auchan, except internal Metro brands (Metro Chief, Rioba, etc..)
To ensure optimal vehicle performance, it is recommended to use unleaded gasoline with a RON (Research Octane Number) of 95 or higher and an AKI (Anti-Knock Index) of 91 or higher.
Unleaded gasoline with an RON of 91-94 / AKI of 87-90 may be used, but this may result in a slight decrease in the vehicle's performance. (Do not use fuel mixed with methanol.)
So, I do not feel much problems. Absence of 98 petrol is PITA of BMW owners. ;)
This is very enlightening on Putin's mindset.....Russia is fvcked part 211.
What fascinates me most is how quiet the Russians and pro Russians have been recently following my posts...... they know the war in Ukraine is lost and have no arguments left....
the terror attacker in Monaco and the murder of the Ukrainian suspect
Apparently it's not about the oligarch in question. It's about his eldest son who was found guilty of running a sort of 'scam factory' in Estonia and scammed up to $100 million, much of it from r*SSians, some of them Mafia.
The woman appears to have been a sort of patsy.
