Well, this is slightly terrifying. We've all heard about the low morale of Russian soldiers, how they don't want to be in Ukraine and some have refused to fight. And we've viewed these reports as good news. But this Moscow Times article indicates many in the Russian military actually want to ramp up...

"New world order" was a John Birch Society concept IIRC. Nope, nope, nope.... It was a concept by Ministry...from their Psalm 69 album... I'll come in again... I'll hold the door for you, as I suspect I may be the only other Fogbowzer who knows what the hell you're talking about. 8-)

https://youtu.be/GTC-OjgwLxg I think I had this album. Yeah I had that and a few other JLP albums. Was quite fascinated with his music for a couple of years in my late teens, but then I bought Roxy Music's Avalon album (on the basis of a Rolling Stone review and its beautiful cover) and it was as i...

R.E.M. did covers of 2 or 3 Velvet Underground tunes. Not sure which version of "There She Goes Again" I'd prefer, as they both sound great.

The Velvet's version:

I guess we already knew it, but this makes it clear that the U.S. has one or more high level assets in Russia's military. I sure hope Putin sees this. :lol: U.S. intel helped Ukraine protect air defenses, shoot down Russian plane carrying hundreds of troops As Russia launched its invasion, the U.S. ...

Texas, quite possibly - I think we would do just fine without them... Florida, can we *pay* Spain to take it back? That'd be a good way to deal with DeSantis If Spain takes us back I might stick around. Since I was born in FL I guess I'd then be a Spanish citizen? I could move to Barcelona, which w...

Not clear it's been confirmed, but it appears two more Russian generals may have gotten killed today.

Did Corporal Kitty get a medal??

Some mysterious fires have happened in Russia today. Earlier a military research facility, and now this. I don't normally approve of arson, but if this is arson, I heartily approve.

:snippity: Google's increased resolution over Russian military bases is already yielding hilarity. Just how much of the Russian Air Force is styrofoam? Just how the Confederates during the peninsula campaign used to make phony cannon out of tree trunks to intimidate General McLellan. According to a...

Russia's Central Bank is publicly warning the country is headed into deep shit.

I don't want to spread mere rumors, but this is just too juicy to pass up....

Lots of seemingly knowledgeable people on Twitter this morning are saying the ship was sunk. However the Pentagon is saying the it's still afloat. Russia says it is towing the ship back to port.

Also seeing rumors that MANY of it's 500+ crew were killed. No hard news on that though.

Get in line, Gregg.

Another embarrassment for Russia today. Rumors are it's sinking.

A message (subtitled) from the Ukrainians to Russian soldiers. Worth watching until the end, because it's brutal.

Putin ‘purges’ 150 FSB agents in response to Russia’s botched war with Ukraine A “Stalinist” mass purge of Russian secret intelligence is under way after more than 100 agents were removed from their jobs and the head of the department responsible for Ukraine was sent to prison. In a sign of Preside...
