Russia Ups the Ante on the Bulls*** at the UN
The rhetoric was laughable, but sadly, some in the weaklings in West will again likely pay attention
“If you insist on the battlefield, OK, then let’s decide it on the battlefield.”
These are the words Sergei Lavrov spoke at the United Nations last week during his delusional reading of how things unfolded in the world before Russia launched its war of genocide in Ukraine.

Eleven time zones is a lot, folks. When the people of St. Petersburg think about lunch, the people of Vladivostok are already ringing in tomorrow. There is a lot that is intoxicating about the size of Russia. Still, very few of these geographic…
