Meanwhile has anyone seen Lavrov? Is he okay?

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has accused Israel of involvement in the "glorification of Nazism"

Q: ...conflict between Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Wagner Group, and the Russian Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu has been unfolding over the last couple of weeks.

A: This is definitely to our advantage, let's just say, in any case. The more quarrels and serious conflicts they have within the system, the faster our victory will come.

And I am ready to help both at the same time. Only for them to destroy each other (smiles). --Budanov, Feb '23

@Kinnison It's a looong column.

"This bastard will be stopped," he added, referring to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

That said, he was instructed to kiss the ring today. And did this instead.

@Reincarnation_2 Yeah as far as they knew before a few hours ago, the war was far away and going great.

People in Rostov strolling by soldiers in firing positions. Chutzpah? Blindness?

@Render Shots fired

Tanks at the headquarters of the Southern Military District, the military on the streets, helicopters - such a morning today in Rostov-on-Don.

Forecast: calm, with scattered tanks

@Brisse
I feel the hype!

@Render Here put my money on: Budanov started it with captured Russian MoD arms.

@JolieSaboteuse
Is it the good duct tape, or the off label stuff

Good advice generally regarding news these days:

Read and share but don’t panic! Don’t play the enemy’s game. President Zelenskiy said nothing new. Russia is a terrorist country from which, like a monkey with a grenade, you can expect anything,” the Ukrainian health ministry said.

Dr. Squire tracks US fascists and their symbols, I can ask her if it's not already on her blog

Spent a good amount of time on the outer banks, saw that flag a lot. My understanding is it's a fairly modern invention - Teach didn't fly it. Don't know about the symbology.

@tgraph52
lol
good luck with that.

Torvalds, diplomatic as ever

@nl37tgt oof. My back cracked looking at that

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race.

I’m a card-carrying atheist, think a woman’s right to choose is very important, think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.
