I have trouble believing that the point of the Ukrainian incursion was to capture the Kursk nuclear power plant, and then what? Hold as ransom? Threaten meltdown? That's because I don't think any major move UKR makes is not coordinated by the likes of Blinken and Sullivan. And such a potentially dangerous foreign policy distraction would be the last thing the Dems need at the moment. After all Jenn O'side Joe told us recently that the US is not at war anywhere. So don't be weird eh?

There reports that the Kursk plant could have been used to trade control for the Zaporizhzhia plant. Of course, that was on the Kyiv et al. fantasy list -

Well, what the Russians say and what they believe are sometimes two different things. I also don't believe our B&S team of vampires knew nothing of the Ukrainian offensive. Whatever the reasons, it's a desperate gamble with a very high potential of turning catastrophic for the Ukrainian Army.

Parts of this are quite humorous. Other parts, disgusting.

And of course, a comment to add on Ukraine and Russia. Russian intelligence has added that Ukraine is planning a false flag attack using dirty nukes on Storm Shadow missiles to strike the Zaporozhye NPP in Energodar or the Kursk NPP in Kurchatov.

The Zaporzhye NPP is an hour drive from the family flat - if it happens, well, I don't know if it'll be in the exclusion zone like Pripyat. Of course, with the escalated response, it probably wouldn't matter -

I definitely would have preferred mean tweets to Joey's nuclear war games -

You have a FINE mind! We live in a SICK society. Actually, the term "sick" is not suitably pejorative.

As I'm reading this, the milk-toast of some kind of "democracy", which isn't and hasn't been "now", Amy Goodman, is interviewing all the Black Panthers who survived this year, only to be made ridiculous by another segment featuring Al Sharpton.... THAT fits the definition of "weird" and should also be included. Those who survived have had their names buried, except for this day, first of the DNC joke that they want to say is a convention. This will certainly be an interesting day, kicking off an interesting, if not and embarrassing week. Here's to at least a more reasonable version of a mayor.

A new mayor for Pittsburgh? You'll have to let me know.

Lol, I missed that Democracy Now! piece. That IS weird. "Now that we've heard from the real Black revolutionaries, let's get a different perspective from someone who has made millions by being the Black face of the establishment, Big Al Sharpton! Tell us how these people made you feel, Al."

Negative for Pittsburgh... We still have the quickly learning Ed Gainey, who can't seem to stand up for himself when pushed back for his "anti-semitic" reaction to "Jews for Peace". No, I'm talking about Chicago's mayor, who is no Dick Daley!
