I like levity mixed in with serious discussions, the same way I like something sweet with something savory.
Seems like a lot of Russia's "best" fighters have alienated themselves by supporting the coup. If you're Putin, I'm not sure how you handle this. Keep using them to terrorize Ukraine, or go after them so they no longer pose a threat to the regime.
Burning question: Where do Wagner troops go now? Isn't it as dangerous in Russia as it is in Ukraine?
I have my own stretch of Adopt-a-Highway, and I've been thinking that fining the source of the litter could be a way to force change and spur innovation. Like every piece of Taco Bell packaging I have to pick out of the ditch costs Yum! Brands $5.
That would be awesome, but I suspect Putin would sacrifice the lives of his entire population before giving up Crimea.
