Why do I think she might accidently fall off a balcony tonight?
Also, when can we get someone to do the same thing on Tucker Carlson's show?

This guy brings up some points about the incident on TV. Mainly about the intended audience, since the big letters on top are in English.
And if it is true their state TV isn't live, kinda suspicious they would let this on the air.

Anyone thinking this was some 4th dimensional chess move by Russian propaganda media is deluding themselves. She was in court this morning.

Listening to several reporters, it seems fairly certain that journalists are being deliberately targeted, just like civilians are being deliberately targeted.

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine
That seems a little light, but she probably had to pay in real rubles that she earned before the ruble crashed..
I am honestly surprised she can see the light of day.

Yes. *shrug* Honestly if it is some kind of disinfo psi-op, it's so stupidly convoluted that it seems just designed to get people arguing about it, so I'm not going to. Much more important things to think about.

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine
Latest reports I've been seeing since yesterday list 2,500 civilian deaths in Mariupol.
Olga Lautman 🇺🇦 @OlgaNYC1211 wrote: Deputy mayor of Mariupol confirms that hospital #2 has been captured by Russian war criminals holding everyone hostage. This is beyond horrific and such terrorist tactics.
And Mariupol is suffering the worst humanitarian crisis because Russian war criminals have trapped residents for over a week and they have no medicine, food, electricity, heat, etc. this is a nightmare with hundreds of thousands in danger of dying

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine
The report I saw said it was 300 rubles and I thought that had to be a mistake. A fine of almost $3? Where is she gonna get three bucks?
It does seem strange that they are putting people in prison for 15 years for calling it a war, and she gets a fine.

I like Russian music. Growing up, I heard the Soviet Army Chorus a lot. My dad loved them.

As soon as I saw that, it made me think of a made-for-TV, starring Keifer Sutherland as Hitler. I wonder if that was it?

Yeah, I think I saw that. Also, I can't find that Kiefer Sutherland ever played Hitler. I think I'm thinking of the movie with Anthony Hopkins. Thanks for the info.
