#1 Won't stop the war at this point. Earlier in the first days, maybe. But not now. The population is all in.

#2 Gotta feeling Dmitry will kick off first, from alcohol poisoning.

#3 Lindsey Graham hasn't called for anybody's assassination lately, at least that I know of.

#4 No need to worry. Z has turned tail and is out of Ukraine. Some say 10 days. 400 feet down bunker destroyed with about 300 NATO and Key Ukrainian personnel killed. Z was supposed to be there. Crickets only sound in western media.

#6 Zelensky was in Finland for a meeting, but did go back.

Dale, put down the crack pipe dude. It is laced with something nasty it seems.

#7 They've been claiming the destroyed bunker in Kiev for weeks or months but also claim the Drone Attack was an unprecedented Act Of War...

#8 Medvedev is turning into a little fireball lately, calling for tac nukes and assassinations. When he was Prime Minister under Putin, there was a popular joke referred to him as The Vegetable.

Zelensky was in Finland for a meeting, but did go back.

Zel was in Finland for a one day summit when the event occurred. Then he went to the Netherlands to visit the ICC. Still there, last I heard.

The NYT says it is rare for Zelensky to leave the country, but then mentions he was in Poland last month and has plans to visit Germany soon. /eye roll

Dale,

It didn't happen. Period, full stop, end of story. There's exactly one type of weapon that could have killed a 400 foot deep bunker (which doesn't exist either) and it wasn't used. The whole world would have known it.

If you want to claim that the ~~Soviets~~ Russians are the victorious good guys here, and the Allies/Ukranians are actually the fiendishly evil/clever bad guys whose every word is false, fine. There's better ways to argue it than this.

God alone knows what they are, but give it a try.

#10 Zelensky missed the Davos World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023. He's managing his deposits, now that airport ramp space is available, the Davos crowd is gone and the tellers have caught up on foreign client deposits.

#11 This is also a very bad idea.

I guess that depends on where the real ~~slim shadey~~ Elenskyyy is. IIRC there were two in Poland at the same time.

You can, but you have to remember that the vent is ray shielded, so you have to use proton topedoes.

Not even Russian socialist media says it happened.

#13 The difference, then, between Zelensky and Yanukovych would be that Yanukovych is still alive. Both, however, would have been forcibly removed from office. Sauce for the goose...

#14 Looks like Big Volo (oh, and the Ukrainian people) will be awarded the Charlemagne Prize on 14 May. These guys at Gates of Vienna (in English) seem to scoff at this idea (as well they should).

Here's a German version from aachen.de

#15 Can we be certain that was Dale?

#16 @#6 - Big Volo did make a stop in Amsterdam from what I read/heard...maybe he met ~~Clinton~~ someone on the tarmac there.
