Literally what my brother did during lockdown.

Sure on a global scale, but on a more macro level, the war on drugs failed because people want to buy and consume drugs… if there is no legal, regulated, safe method to buy them then the black market will fill that gap… same under rationing, same under prohibition, same with drugs and in the future cigarettes…!
“…faster than expected.” I feel like we’ve been hearing that alot over the last few years, it’s like the tagline for the climate crisis.
Good for you, top effort. That’ll have exactly 0 affect on the climate crisis though…
Police bust into a building through the windows, swinging from the chandeliers:
“Ha ha! Zis is a raid! En garde naives…!”
Fight music and clashing of swords starts.
I think the divorce papers would be delivered shortly after the verdict…
Sit down officer this ain’t your jurisdiction
“Atempted murder by Police”
Not really, considering it’s owned by Viscount Rothermere, who’s antecedent, another Viscount Rothermere printed in the same publication “Hurrah for Hitler’s Blackshirts!” I shit you not…
Bogans gunna Bogan…
Nah, not offended, but I can feel my skin crackling like a Pork Roast at the thought of 30c being jumper weather…shudder! Shite, I need a pint to calm down and cool off…
There was a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix that said it dates back to the 70’s, possibly as far backs pre 1900, but in pop culture the 70’s for sure.
Fucking hell…! Where abouts are you? Bloody Dubai…? I burst into flames at anything above 28c, I am ginger and of Irish extraction mind, I’m built for fierce mild and drizzle.
Ah, see… they don’t give a fuck about the medical care, or the patients, or even the metrics. it’s all about how much money they can extract from the system at the expense of all else.
At what point, if ever, in Russian politics has self-canibalisation been a problem for them?
Putin has thrown down against Prigozhin, brought Alltwen arms of State to bare… and allowed him to walk away…?
If you think he’s blundered I would caution about underestimating him, a brutal, ruthless bastard… for sure, but not a fool…
If he was a fool he wouldn’t have got to the position he has at Wagner in the first place…!
Fair points all in.
The long and the short will hang on wether Prigozhin has loyalists installed at the head of FSB, Ministery of Interior, and Ministery of Defence…
If not, It’ll rank amongst the biggest blunders in Russian political history, and Prigozhin will be dead in short order.
If yes, Prigozhin basically is in control of the Russian Federation in all but name.
Nah, if Prigozhin doesn’t have loyalists installed at FSB, Interior, and Defence he’s a dead man. I guarantee you he knows this. You don’t get into a position of power in Russia without knowing that. His lead elements were holding an Operational Rally Point just outside of Moscow when they just… turned around and a promise…? From Putin…?
No chance, Prigozhin may be a ruthless, cutthroat sociopath but he’s not an idiot. Add to that Putin called him out as a terrorist, a mutineers, an enemy of the state, for Putin to U-turn makes him look weak. Sure, the leverage is there but there’s no way you make him look weak and just walkway… not AND survive for very long…
Yeah, He has to have his people installed at Defence, FSB and Interior, and at that point he’s in charge of the Russian Federation in all but name.
The ‘Behind the Bastards’ 6 part series on him was fucking brilliant, well worth a listen. Also, if BtB has to do a 6 part series to cover all the fucked up shit you did…? You’re one of histories greatest monsters…
