    The sanctions have failed spectacularly... Putin is left with more actual oil and a hell of lot more $$$

    He isn't plastered all over the place. Too many people are finding out that he is just a crisis actor and we are burning billions of dollars on corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs.

    So who does everyone think blew up that car in Russia that killed Putin's associate's daughter? It was almost certainly an assassination attempt of the man labeled as Putin's Rasputin and who was one of the people who pushed for war with Ukraine. He was supposed to be in the car and it was a last minute change of plans that saved him.

    Russia is accusing Ukraine operatives of doing it. That seems fairly reflexive of Russia though as there almost certainly was insufficient time between the occurrence and the first accusations for there to be any real investigation.

    Some experts are saying it has the hallmarks of elements of a Russian security service. Car bomb assassinations were once the bread and butter of such groups. There has definitely been outrage in the Russian security services for the blame Putin has leveled at them for the failure to quickly take over Ukraine. It's possible this was the start of an internal power struggle.

    Others have speculated Putin might have had this man killed. Some think he might have been critical of Putin for not going hard enough in Ukraine and that this may have resulted in him being marked for death. I'm less convinced of this, however, as Putin has the power to just make that man disappear and wouldn't have to resort to blowing him up. If it was Putin then it would have to have a false flag purpose of blaming Ukraine and whipping up more support for the war.

    It's certainly a development.

    Been claimed by a NRA. Whether ti's true or not we'll see. As the war drags out it's going to become more and more unpopular. And things like this will become more and more common.

    Russia getting involved in quadmires is a classic call for regime change.

    You will notice not a single seal wants to touch this topic.

    But I'll ask again.

    With the benefit of hindsight, was trump right about warning Europe about their Russian energy dependence?

    Asking if Trump was right to liberals is akin to showing Dracula the cross.
