Apparently it is. There was a really good twitter thread posted earlier detailing how dire the situation is for the Russians. The Ukrainians have been very good at destroying the supply trucks, especially the fuel trucks. At the 20 second mark of the video you can see old civilian fuel trucks on the train. It's a really bad sign if they are sending those to the front.

Are we taking bets when they're starting an offensive to seal the sack with this ridiculous traffic jam?

You can’t fire me, I quit.

Gotta keep that outside of Russia info away. Don’t worry, nobody in Russia will notice a total disconnection for the world, surely they will assume the news is all good.

The sanctions don’t stop when Putin dies. They stop when Putin dies AND there is confidence that the next guy isn’t going to immediately do the same thing.

Since everyone now knows treaties don’t mean poo poo to Russia, it’s their problem to figure out how to convince the west they are acting in good faith.

EDIT: it will be tempting for Russia’s elite to murk Putin and replace him with someone who has all the same policies since they benefit from those. See, the bad man is gone now!

I saw that and I was going to make some comment in that thread about the curse of Timur's tomb. But this is Japan. Ummm.... Any news about what N. Korea has been up to?

quote:

A warlord and nobleman who controlled a vast swath of Asia during the 14th century, Timur (aka Tamerlane) was renowned as a military tactician whose warfare killed some 17 million people. He was also a celebrated patron of architecture and the arts, however. In 1941, Joseph Stalin sent a team of archaeologists to open Timur's tomb in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, much to the alarm of local residents and Muslim clergy. Upon opening Timur's coffin, the team discovered an inscription: "Whoever opens my tomb shall unleash an invader more terrible than I." Within a matter of hours, Adolf Hitler's troops invaded Russia; an estimated 26 million people died as a result. In 1942, Stalin ordered Timur's remains to be reinterred back in Samarkand in accordance with Islamic tradition; shortly thereafter, the German army surrendered at Stalingrad, ending their campaign against the Russians.

The traditional Buddhist recitation for exorcising and protecting from demons is just listing the various Buddhas and boddhisatvas and praising them and whatever their deal is so an orthodox priest would certainly refuse to perform it. However there’s quite a few Buddhists in Russia. Big Mongolian population.

Naw, most ethnic minorities are very small. Buddhists come to like 0.5% of the population.
And the notable Mongolic groups are all super small (even though two have their "own" republics).

That’s more than enough to either banish the demon or since most Russian Buddhists are vajrayana, subjugate it to the forces of good.

This is dumb. Nobody needs to research how to do that. You go out where the cable is with a big dredger ship and haul it up and cut it. You have no evidence that Russia is actually planning to destroy undersea telecommunications cables.
