Lot of excitement tonight about VVPutin's recognition of LNDR republics, and ordering in fraternal Russian peacekeeper forces. One utterly hilarious image:

Harvested from btl in Saker’s open thread on the announcement and recognition-signing videos tonight :rofl: :

The psychos do like the number 22. Tomorrow (now today) is 22nd of the 2nd month (February) 2022. Pluto is in Uranus, a conjunction that apparently only occurs every 294 years.

I mostly bang on about the civil unrest in western countries. There’s also been major civil unrest in Russia and its former satellites against the covid stuff (in Kazakhstan it turned into armed struggle; also in French overseas territories).

When all else fails… well, you know the old saying.

Put on your tin hat, have a corned beef sandwich and kick away the rats in your bomb shelter. Maybe instead of Vera we can try this…

Addendum: as I write this the Emergency Act is expected to be voted through by the Canadian parliament, effectively keeping Canada under martial law. There’s similar stuff about to go through the French Parliament. Bojo has (sort of) announced that covid restrictions will be suspended. Same sort of scenario in many other countries who have announced that they are dropping covid restrictions.

And then, darn, along comes a rather handy war (which they’ve been bigging up for weeks now), giving them another excuse to keep emergency powers.

On Sunday we were told that the Queen tested positive for covid. A coincidence against all the background of what’s going on…?

I’ve got a beachfront property in Birmingham I can sell you…

Stock markets in Asia Pacific are seeing big losses as the trading day picks up speed on Tuesday against a backdrop of looming conflict in Ukraine.

The Nikkei has dropped nearly 2% in Tokyo, the Kospi is down 1.36% in Seoul and Sydney is off by 1%.

It’s like a Carry On film.

Although I am a bit worried that the Kospi is down 1.36%.

Scotty, get me out of here…
