We're getting some bloodwork done this morning. No coffee yet so we're just dying here. At last check our triglycerides were at 634, and bright red, italicized, underlined and with an exclamation point on the printout. Those are rookie numbers we need to bring those numbers up, we said. We're hoping to break the 700 threshold. Yeah, we're on all the pills.
Stroock's Books admits to being surprised by NATO's unity against Russia. This blog is also impressed by NATO's arms shipments, banning of Russian aircraft, expulsion from SWIFT, etc. We'll see if these actions are mere window dressing. Here's what we mean. Lots of organizations are cancelling Putin. His Judo trophy has been revoked, or some such. NATO may be virtue signaling. That's just how the world works in 2022.
The Ruble is collapsing and the Moscow Stock Exchange is closed today. It seems the soft power we have so mocked is hurting Russia. But will it work? Ben Shapiro has been making great points about the West assuming everyone else is like us. Maybe your average Ruski cares more about winning the war than he cares about inflation. Maybe he's willing to pay the price for victory. I dunno.
After four days of watching the Russian military in action we feel certain observations are warranted. They're incompetent. The Russian Army is unable to maneuver, coordinate, use combined arms tactics, etc etc. They remind this blog of Arab armies. Arabs can't fight.
1. Invade Ukraine
2. ???
3. Putin wins.
It seems the Russians had no plan after the initial push failed to take Kiev. We're stunned. Have we been overestimating Putin, because it seems like we've been overestimating Putin.
That being said, remember the Hong Kong protests? How'd they turnout?
Sticking with our Ruski theme...
What Will's Watching: If you think Bob Odenkirk couldn't play an action-hero, then you haven't seen Nobody. Hutch Mansell is a suburban everyman with a dark past as a government 'auditor' who pisses off the wrong Russian mobster. Big mistake, for the Ruskis. If you ever wanted to see Christopher Lloyd brandish a shotgun, then Nobody is for you. Fun, funny, and bloody. 3/4
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves...? Another weekend another Z'kye Hussein protest in Bridgewater. Less than 50 attended. This protest was overwhelmingly Indian. What's up with that? People kept asking us if we wanted a sign. We kept saying no thank you. The above article by Emma Uk captures the air and feel of the cold afternoon. Uk's is a perfect piece of Five Ws reporting. We're in the below photo, taken by Gary Kane for the Bridgewater Breeze. Center right, good looking guy in back with beard, hat and sunglasses surrounded by signs.
