I don't know. You're the Kremlinologist among us two. ;-) I found it interesting to read what Giuliano da Empoli let Baranov, his fictional spin master in "Le mage du Kremlin", say about Khodorkovsky and the rest of the "liberal" Russian opposition. Which is rather the opposite of your premise.

If you want an illustration of what is wrong with the Belgian trade unions, here's one. Main union, linked to the Socialists, wants to topple the federal government because of planned cuts to the social and welfare system. Democracy? Elections? M'en fiche.

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

When asked why Russia isn't represented at the Sharm El Sheik peace summit, Lavrov says Russia doesn't "impose its mediation services" on anyone

The Russia-Arab summit planned for Wedn also had to be postponed

A Moscow resident complains that she can’t get where she needs to go because her navigation isn’t working. Electronic warfare systems are operating in central Moscow, jamming the signal. Poor thing — she spent an entire hour driving around the Kremlin, not knowing where to turn.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
