“If Putin and others want to find out what happens on Day 51, ask the Ayatollah.” — Lindsey Graham —

I give up. We try to take out Putin and fail ?

 

Did the Ayatollah fall out of power while I was at dinner?

 

Looks like Russia is on its way to losing South Caucasus. It started when seven Azerbaijanis were arrested on suspicion of murder charges dating back 25 years. Two died in custody, and the other five went on trial after being badly beaten. The government of Azerbaijan did not take that well, arresting Russian IT workers, raiding the Russian news agency, etc. If Russia loses the South Caucasus, they lose the ability to control key land trade routes from China to Turkey.

Good news for our resident Russophiles and Kremlin propaganda agents: Russia is facing a severe population shortage, and needs people very much. They are expected to be short by 11 MILLION workers by 2030. Putin is considering offering a stipend of potatoes and onions to westerners willing to relocate, with a raffle to see who gets the dozen eggs that will be made available once a month. Russophiles, even if clinically insane, are to be given "preferred" status for visas.

For our resident Russophiles, I suggest we take up a collection for one-way tickets to Moscow. They'll want to get a head start on the stampede, and select the best potatoes available.
