Yehhh. Ukraine has its own version of turtle tanks now. I saw one during a drive today heading towards Kharkiv.
I caught it on dashcam but best not post. I suspect it will be pictured soon enough in flames. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

A lot of military traffic on the road to Kharkiv.

And in other news, no power in Dnipro yesterday from 5 am till 4 pm, then stabilised. Serious number of air alerts and explosions throughout the day.
Smoke from Liman fires is making its way towards us.

Zelensky is a clown. Ukraine's euro vision entrant is a fuggly hippo, Usyk and Dtek are going to hold an exhibition fight to raise money for rebuilding electrical grid, which will be free to all Ukrainians, who don't have electricity or internet to watch it..... and Pedo Joe is about to be replaced by Big Mike.

I suspect the two assassinations of Fico and Raisi this week signals the beginning of a new phase. The CIA have come to the conclusion that their weapon of choice since the 1990s, "Color Revolutions", no longer works because their opponents have wisened up to it (Georgia may be a straddler due to long term investment in color revolution by the EU there). So, the CIA will be going back to their pre-1991 favorite trick of plain old assassinations, perhaps combined with plain old military coups, also a favorite trick before color revolutions became the new way of doing things. The shift back to asssassinations/coups has probably been underway for a while.

I suspect we will see far more "mysterious accidents" and "lone gunman" incidents take out leaders of countries non-compliant with the US/EU mafia in the future.

Latest news of the Iranian President thickens the plot.
