Things are happening quickly in Russia. I was amazed to see this today: "‘Put him on trial’: pro-Kremlin loyalist turns on Putin in rare outburst - Ilya Remeslo sends Telegram post titled ‘Five reasons why I stopped supporting Vladimir Putin’ to his 90,000 followers" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/18/pro-kremlin-loyalist-turns-on-putin-ilya-remeslo-russia

I was expecting Putin to be overthrown this summer when whatever harebrained spring or summer Russian offensive simply flops. But, perhaps stirred on by the Flamingo attacks mentioned here, the destruction of Putin's vital (and almost only) ally, the ayatollah regime in Iran, and Putin's bizarre attempt to shut down Telegram and impose a total internet surveillance state ala Soviet times, and, of course, the war in its 5th year and no end in sight, battling over weirdshit villages in Donbass with foreign mercenaries tricked into false employment ads and then given quad bikes to ride to their deaths ... well, it's not looking good for Vlad.

LOL I read that Russia is sending shaheds to Iran!

We'll know it's the end when North Korea lets them know they need artillery shells.

Stay tuned. It's going to be an interesting year.
