Good! this guy sucks at his job so bad that him being here is a positive for the Ukrainians.

good stuff

Another parlay: Day of this week that Digital piggy returns and what will precipitate that return

Navalny Ghislane Maxwell Prigozhin Gerasimov/Shoigu (call them a matched pair) Who goes first?

and Jim Cowan, that was not meant to be a dig at you.

This totally I've heard this super basic observation from a lot of pros today, who should think before uttering banalities like this to other pros.

I wouldn't invest so much in the type of death. I'd say the real parlay is does Navalny outlive him?

According to a guy I was on a tour with recently, who is a restaurant owner... He says that The Bear is dead on. Also says that a lot of places kept afloat by being the local drug dealer.

So, he's running as a Democrat and he's got noted pedo Scott Ritter on his podcast just because he's an American taking Putin's coin.

Too good to check

also, 2011-2012 was likely the last time I gave Silver much thought.

Yeah, I forgot Nate would rather draw a nude Justin V than Kate Winslet etc..

I think he would have travelled on the original Titanic in 1912. Those who say they would not are suspect. He would love to be depicted as the out-of-touch elite plutocrats and lovable smelly steerage types from the eponymous movie. He would love to have drawn a nude Kate Winslet at the point when she had metaphorically, Justin Verlander's 2011 fastball. Or, he would have found Leo Decaprio dying to save him just dreamy.

Of course reading up on the 1961 coup attempt in France the Soviet Union capitalized on the situation to smear the US Government as having involvement. The great game is old.

Just a reminder that the Edith Piaf song in Inception Non, je ne regrette rien" is the song which translates "No, I regret nothing" which was adopted by the French Airborne as their anthem after they tried to overthrow the French Government. I always thought that was pretty bad ass. Still, you can't trust mercs. We have this problem in the United States now and should do more to manage these bearded jackanaps.

and how is someone supposed to react to this?

Of course she thought this

The funny thing about Gerasimov is that he was considered a bit of a smarty pants for revising Russian doctrine back about a decade ago. One look at that face and I can tell he spends a lot of time pickled.

lots of stories about what comes next. This would concern me if the new guy had an inkling of military sense and had a magic wand to ward off the effects of corruption. I don't know anything about him yet. I suppose I will be getting to know him shortly.

Well now

That deserves a like but i’m gonna have to ration them.

Very interesting reports of a Ukrainian cross river operation in Kherson. More than a few tanks ferried across the river. Thunder run into Crimea or recce in force…

Prigozhin is evil.

The concern now, is that Putin will activate his 5th column in the United States and we will have armed gangs roving the streets of various places where the org that used to be Blackwater (you really have to have a chart to map all of those rebrandings) are located.
