That's disappointing. When you spend 1.2 stolen billion dollars on a literal palace you expect good first results.

Other images also show that the place looks like garbage otherwise; the garden is really quite small and not that well maintained, and the soviet-style hovels start immediately behind the garden fence, which is only few hundred meters from the front-facing balconies.

So for a over-the-top billionaire-emperor's luxury palace it is really a sad show, I've seen better maintained gardens with a larger land plot on 3 star Canary Island tourist resorts.

Tijuana is actually a pretty bad comparison, as it's a huge city with a population of about 2 million people whereas Bakhmut pre-war was just over 71,000 folks. I was going to say Nogales is a better comparison, but it has over 200k people.

Tecate. Tecate is a decent comparison I suppose, it is barely over 100k people! So yeah... like we failed to advance beyond Tecate in over 400 days of war while losing a huge portion of our ground forces in the process.
Tecate would be too light for Russia to bother

Oh you mean the city

Zelensky is going to in the Netherlands for talks with the ICC over the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia, with the Dutch government in general, and I think also a WW2 memorial service.

Standard limp flex of the Russians to scrape together something in the air or on the water nearby as a (not so) threatening show of force.

But that's unironically one of the more plausible ones, chugging toad poison is currently popular among the brain-dead trend chasers with "alternative medicine" inclinations

Man, I remember the toad poison thing being a trend in Poland until someone died (because said poison was basically hypermorphine). What a time.

So is this just a 'show of 'strength' toward NATO for daring to host Zelensky (and to give their TV commentators enough material to
let them publicly fantasize about launching cruise missile attacks on Dutch soil to assassinate him)?

Or is the fleet actually on its way to the Mediterranean for some reason? Presumably to park in the Aegean and try to look as menacing as possible, due to the Straits being closed to them.

Yeah they can't get into the Black sea or actually do anything to NATO countries without getting sunk so it's just showing off or some exercises or something.

So now "Russia claims the U.S. is behind the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin" - not that the US did it but that it masterminded the attack because

Dimitry Peskov posted:

“Kyiv only does what it is told to do.”

quote:

A Russian investigation into the incident is ongoing, he said, adding that Moscow’s response would involve “thoughtful, balanced and appropriate steps in the interests of our country,” without specifying what they might be.


quote:

Asked how Putin reacted when told of the alleged attack, Peskov said that the Russian leader “always remains calm, collected, clear in the assessments and commands that he gives out in extreme situations.”

"... And he definitely didn't poo poo himself when he heard about it. No questions."
