Russia's War Against Ukraine

ONLY, if I get my chest-hair back.  >:(

I have plenty I shave off my back with my "manscaper" if you need a refresher.

I'd been considering gluing it to my head now that I'm dating again, but I could always keep going with the old Mk.I HAT solution.

I think an  ex-KGB officer, murderer and suspected world's richest man (https://fortune.com/2022/03/02/vladimir-putin-net-worth-2022/) while maintaining an economy equivalent to Italy uses religion cynically and manipulatively.

Not to mention admirer of Stalin.  Which face of Putin should we believe?  btw it's the 69th anniversary of Stalin's death today.

Most of my friends don't know what I look like without a hat.  Bald for over 30 years now.  Started dating again a couple months ago and have purposely removed my hat so she can get used to it (or find out if she can't stand a bald guy).  So far so good.

Well, in my case she's known me for about 24 years so she's seen the rise and fall of the hairline so no surprises there. 

Like you the ballcap is pretty well permanently attached now though.

Pete that was a great post. I have seen mention of Putin reaching further back than the Soviet Union, to Tsarist influences.

Pete's post reminds of the scene in "No Country for Old Men" where woody harelson's character say to Javier Bardem's assassin character "Do you even know how crazy you are ?"

"You mean the nature of this war?"

"I mean the nature of you, Vladimir."

;D

Russia is mobilizing armor from Siberia to move to Ukraine.

Khabarovsk is near the Pacific.

If these are being mobilized now, it suggests Russian losses have been extremely high, and that they've realized that 65% of Russia's army wasn't enough.

The war is going to take much longer. These will take at least a week to reach Ukraine.

^Wow. I hope we can send AT weapons over there fast enough.

Bald talk

Not to sidetrack too much from the bit at hand, but do any of you hair-less types (of which I am one) marvel at the dreams in which you do have hair?  Seems odd that that sort of stuff creeps in from time to time 'lo these many moons without the topside mop being a thing.

Also, I love when the kids discover old photos of me and go, "No way; you had hair!?!"

I laugh too and tell my Son with all seriousness to enjoy it while he can.  And that you get gray in your pubes as well.  No one ever warned me of that bit, let me tell you.

I started losing my hair at 20 and don't miss it at all.

Sky News crew ambushed:

And hundreds of people sign up to join the Ukrainian Army. Utmost respect for them, volunteering to go into a war headlong. They've got giant cajones. Also from Sky News.

Looking at where Khabarovosk is on the map.  It's right on the border with China approx 700 km NNE of Vladivostok.  There border skirmishes are a long time past but this further indicates at least tacit agreement between Putin and Xi over the invasion.  That's if the tweet is true, the video is attributed to Igor Girkin which is the nom de guerre of the alleged Russian war criminal Igor Strelkov.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Girkin

Strelkov is the alias.
