@comador @SlopppyEngineer what Russia does respond to is shutting down their oligarchs' bank accounts the world over. Confiscate their yachts and send their wives and kids home. They can't stand it. Drives them nuts. The wives can't shop and the kids whine and complain, while the mistresses want attention but they can't pay for anything. Hey, learn to play the game the Russian way. Diplomacy just does not work with them. Never has. But turning off the money? Every time.

@Ilovethebomb @LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they're running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he's not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don't pretend to understand Russian politics.

@niktemadur @ModerateImprovement He can't cheat Death forever. For all his precautions, he will die one day. I can only hope to live long enough.

@partial_accumen @Ilovethebomb That's a possibility. Only I'd make sure to 'liberate' some of the equipment first which you know good and well the Ruskies have done to theirs.

@LaFinlandia Oh, my. Vlad must be kicking much Russian a$$ this Friday morning. He really should start with his own. 😎

@LaFinlandia is this in Russia or Ukraine? There are two places with the same name.
