The Crazy SOB Actually Did it!

I saw an article saying that Pornhub has gotten into the sanctions, too - any user from Russia who tries to visit their site is redirected to a YouTube video of the Ukrainian national anthem.

Nata's still alive and posting. She bought groceries and flowers yesterday. Somehow, life in Kyiv goes on, impossible to imagine how.

An article on how Putin's invasion has managed to kick start a whole bunch of things he's been trying to avoid.

Ha! I always suspected pornographers were great humanitarians!

But if Pornhub make sanctions to Russian p0rn sites, mostly of the adult content on Internet could not be watched.

Now, that is a good measure for rising the Russian people against the Ukrainian invasion, because what is 'worst' than an angry Russian guy: an angry Russian guy without p0rn (no offense).

I would imagine many of them will find it somewhat deflating. Imagine if this was the thing to bring down Putin.

I see that Fifa is banning Russia from the World cup, and Russians takes soccer very seriously,  like Americans to football.

I can't hear you.

Nata's still alive this morning, and has Internet access (which is more surprising). But I fear the real battle for Kyiv has yet to start.

She posted this:



Optimistic.

I watched some of Oliver Stones Ukraine documentary from 2014 last night. It was kind of half of a documentary, just all Anti US pro Russia. it was interesting to hear those perspectives but He was too wrapped up in the big story to, gee I don't know, interview some actual Ukrainians? Disappointing

If you're over in the Ukraine and you capture a Russian tank or other military equipment there's no need to declare it on your taxes

Ukraine's National Agency for the Protection against Corruption (NAPC) has declared that captured Russian tanks and other equipment are not subject to declaration.

"Have you captured a Russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it? Keep calm and continue to defend the Motherland! There is no need to declare the captured Russian tanks and other equipment, because the cost of this ... does not exceed 100 living wages (UAH 248,100)," NAPC's press service said.

Also, there is no need in this case to submit reports of significant changes in property status within 10 days.

Oh thank you for that sprite!

"Have you captured a Russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it?"

That delights me.      "Heroiam slava!"

Nata's still posting today.  It's her wedding anniversary. Kyiv is on Putin's backburner now.

Good article, long but worth the read: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/02/28/world-war-iii-already-there-00012340

The world is such a strange place sometimes.  Something I think about sometimes, especially with a guy like Putin.  Putin is pushing 70.  He could have a heart attack and keel over, like Warren G Harding did.  Odds aren't even that astronomical looking at charts of it - 1-2% chance of death in a year.  There's rumors he has a terminal disease already.  What would happen then?  It'd be impossible to say.  Russia doesn't seem well-prepared for it though.  Who knows what the oligarchs would do.  Would this war abruptly end, or are they too committed?

Something is off when one man's life matters so much in the path of history in a world of billions.
