Is that the Kremlin behind Homer?

That all worked for Czar Nicholas, too … until it didn’t.
Looks promising. I hope it continues. I keep waiting to hear more news on domestic strife, which usually follows military disasters in...
Well, that’s a theory, and I’m certain you believe it. I also acknowledge the elements that support your theory, such as the stupid and ignorant...
Maybe they tried to blow it with the same planning and competence that have characterized this entire war for them.
