    For children, who have lost their father in war, a grandfather would be an especially important
    male relationship, and in retaining family and cultural identity. Proxy wars… have a uniquely malevolent character.

  2. Great Success under Great Leader: Russia economy meltdown as 3rd largest crude customer to stop buying oil
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2089381/russia-economy-india-oil

    “Indian state refiners have stopped purchasing Russian oil after a stern warning from US President Donald Trump. India, the world’s third-largest importer of oil, is the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian crude, but the country’s state refiners have not sought Russian crude in the past week or so, sources familiar with the refiners’ purchase plans told Reuters.”

    I wonder, how much the Russian “economy” (“kleptocracy” is a better term) will be worth if Rosneft ends up the same as Gazprom (pumping out more hydrocarbons than they can sell)… In any case, the Russians who are willing to go and die in Ukraine for $2000+ will have to either go and die for much less than that or look for alternative sources of income, such as becoming migrant labour in China or Kazakstan, that is if the 25+ generation alkie quadrupeds can be taught any useful skills.

    1. Don’t worry, Kubassa, the homeland is now forcing women, children and senior citizens to the front lines, while Little Z still cancels elections.
      Just like another dictator did in 1945 Germany.
      History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

  3. Seen elsewhere on the interweebs:
    BLM=
    Bang
    Latina
    Milfs

    Finally a movement I can get behind!

  4. Freedom Convoy’ protesters face ludicrous prison sentences for mere ‘mischief’

    “In a sentencing hearing earlier this week, the Canadian government sought a ludicrous eight-year sentence for Chris Barber, one of the leaders of the Covid “Freedom Convoy” protest that riled Ottawa in early 2022. For another leader, Tamara Lich, the Crown asked for an outlandish seven years.”

    1. Speaking of Truckers
      Secretary Sean Duffy on X: “Since I took action to enforce language proficiency requirements for truckers, our state partners have put roughly 1,500 unqualified drivers out of service. That’s what I call results! If you can’t read or speak our national language — ENGLISH — we won’t let your truck endanger” / X

  5. What keeps me up at night…

    Thoughts on the family called Canada:

    “mommy” government – overbearing, demands to be obeyed, even when wrong (net zero, EV mandate).
    BC – says she is too pretty to help with the chores or help out at all (pipelines).
    Alberta/Saskatchewan – goes to work, supports the family, no one cares unless it’s allowance day (equalization).
    Manitoba – the middle child, with all the mental problems that come with that.
    Ontario – mostly okay, willing to help out, but has delusions of grandeur.
    Quebec – the narcissist, only me, all day, every day.
    Maritimes – kind of lazy, would starve to death if not spoon fed by mommy government.
    Natives – the spoiled brat of the family, my way or no way, in constant tantrum.

    Your thoughts?

  6. Speaking of ‘The End’ … one of the top 5 psychedelic songs of all time … and the absolute BEST live performance I’ve found … just happens to be Toronto 1967. Kriegers intro and guitar work is simply inspired … and the entire band is bloody PERFECT.

    Underrated guitarist, Krieger.
