Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:He was shuttled from hospital to hospital in Moscow for two days as doctors frantically tried to figure out what was wrong with him.
Quote:Vladimir Kara-Murza: I was at one point connected, I think to eight different artificial life support machines and doctors told my wife that there’s only gonna be about a five percent chance that I’ll survive. But he beat the odds. When we spoke with him last year, he’d been recovering for a year, but he was still walking with a limp from nerve damage. Lesley Stahl: So what happened?
Quote:Vladimir Kara-Murza: Well, it was some kind of a very strong toxin.
Quote: We don’t know what it was because, you know, with these things, as people who know more about this than I do explained to me, you basically have to know exactly what you’re testing for in order to find it. Lesley Stahl: So they never found the exact compound? Vladimir Kara-Murza: They never did. It wasn’t until the fourth day, and after he had been on a dialysis machine, that blood was drawn and sent to a toxicology lab in France. It found heavy metals in his blood
Quote:but no specific toxin. Still Kara-Murza maintains that he was poisoned.

And while SOME influential figures might have had a direct bearing on the war effort- head of an energy company, for example- I can't think of anyone more sideways to that than the head of a ski resort. Or a sausage maker. So,no motive AFAIK. Another thing missing is their ages. Another thing missing is how many men of similar wealth and age die in a normal year? Now, maybe, as speculated, these men saw themselves cut off from their fortunes and escape hatches by western sanctions, and despaired. Maybe some of them were found embezzling or sending their money overseas, and faced long jail sentences. Or maybe they were watching their fortunes implode and drank themselves silly. Or maybe some just had heart attacks. I guess without more facts it's impossible to say what's going on. Enquiring minds want to know!

Enquiring minds want to know!As 2022 draws to a close, Putin has canceled a series of high-profile events. A state of the nation address, originally scheduled for April, was repeatedly delayed and won't happen until next year. Putin's annual "direct line" — a media event in which Putin fields questions from ordinary Russians — was canceled outright. An annual December "big press conference" – a semi-staged affair that allows the Russian leader to handle fawning questions from mostly pro-Kremlin media – was similarly tabled until 2023. The Kremlin has given no reason for the delays. Many suspect it might be that, after 10 months of war and no sign of victory in sight, the Russian leader has run out of good news to share. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/31/1145981036/war-against-ukraine-has-left-russia-isolated-and-struggling-with-more-tumult-ahe The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/two

First of all, altho some might thinks it's clever saying "next year" and "2023", making it sound so far-off, guess what? THAT'S TOMORROW! Secondly, what are you implying? That Putin is scared of the public? That Putin is sick? Hate to tell you, but Putin has been extremely busy lately, meeting with his military and security forces, visiting Surovikin in one of the recently annexed oblasts, meeting with Lukashenko to further tie the militaries together, and he has an upcoming meeting with Xi, and one with Erdogan and Assad. (I know there's more in there, I'm just not remembering them all.) It seems to me that he's planning something big. I don't know what, but I think he wants to wrap up Ukraine in 2023. By all acounts, he's also planning on his succession, and it looks like the front runner is Medvedev, who was just selected as the deputy head of the military production committee (a permanent post, not ending with Ukraine) and who was also sent on a protocol-breaking direct meeting with Xi (head of state, who only meets with other heads of state.) And Medvedev is apparently more hawkish than Putin. Putin's Presidency IS coming to an end. Some day, so will Putin. As will we all. But the west shouldn't be breathing a sigh of relief bc Russia's policy towards the west will probably change, but for the worse. Anyway, thanks - in a sideways fashion- for bringing up yet another topic that you know nothing about.
