Putin signed a law today that will make it possible for Russia to nationalize the 500+ airplanes that Western leasing companies have demanded to be returned to them.
The planes are worth more than 10 billion USD.
Strange but this doesn't really bother me. It's the cost of doing business with a dictator.
“The number of bodies was unbelievably large. People at the Mazyr station were simply shocked by the number of bodies being put on the train,” a local resident in Mazyr told RFE/RL.

13-2 ruling order to stop Russian military against Ukraine, those only two judges who vote against the ruling are from Russia and China.
This is propaganda that is put out there to make Americans think Russia is weak.
They have a ton of ammunition and they’re basically in their backyard.
Joe Biden, as a US senator, supported using air strikes even knowing civilians would die.

This war/ conflict is a great opportunity to judge Russian military capabilities. Unless Putin is sandbagging big time Russia is technologically behind the US. Russian request to China for help in drone warfare speaks volumes. On the flipside the West has discovered Russian missiles are launching counter measures when they detect they are targeted. Am sure our military is scrambling to solve this issue.
The real problem is who will join Russia? Many countries hate us and the cracks are showing!
Another note; when I hear Putin speak his words are the same coming from our politicians and media, just pointed in a different direction. 
Putin said;
The Russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and simply spit them out like a fly that accidentally flew into their mouths," Putin said Wednesday. "I am convinced that such a natural and necessary self-purification of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, cohesion and readiness to respond to any challenges."
He labeled the conflict "a struggle for our sovereignty, for the future of our country and our children."
In the United States;
GOP rep. Adam Kinzinger tweeted that Gabbard was spreading "actual Russian propaganda" and accused her of being "traitorous."
Folks on The View say Trucker Carlson a traitor, should be silenced and imprisoned.
That deemed "Misinformation" often censored by media, both here and Putin's Russia. Just the information is different.
Russian forces shot and killed 10 people standing in line for bread in Chernihiv.
According to this tweet from U.S. Embassy at Kyiv, Ukraine, horrible atrocity has been committed by the Russian forces. It has to be condemned by the Western world.
war crime atrocity
SOS Blinken lays out an ominous set of tactics the US believes Russia is likely to undertake soon:
-A "chemical weapon" attack followed by "falsely blaming Ukraine" for it as a rationale to escalate militarily
-Deploying more mercenaries
-Systematic kidnappings of local officials
Our intelligence has been outstanding during this war in anticipation of Putin's next move.
In America, parents are deemed terrorists because they do not want their 3rd grade child to be brainwashed by a failed, public school system. Which is run by a tyrannical organization. Not much different than China or Russia. The only difference is how the media presents the information.

This won't do anything for now, but later, could have some very serious repercussions to Russia.
Russia is going to be in for a world of hurt later for sure.
The president of the nation's largest teachers union tweeted we #standwithukriane twitter.com. of course she spelled Ukraine wrong! 
Then the American Federation of Teachers tweeted a picture of a room full of members each holding Ukraine's flag.............all upside down.
These folks in charge of educating our children.
Both Russia and China are listed as the adversaries to the United States.
William Burns, Director of Central Intelligence Agency, described Xi Jinping’s China as “a formidable, authoritarian adversary.”*.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday blamed NATO for provoking Russia into invading its neighbor Ukraine.
Speaking in parliament Thursday, Ramaphosa said the war, now entering its 4th week, could have been avoided if NATO hadn’t expanded eastward.
The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less, instability in the region," Ramaphosa said.
"There are those who are insisting that we should take a very adversarial stance against Russia. The approach we are going to take (instead) is … insisting there should be dialogue," he said, adding: "Screaming and shouting is not going to bring an end to this conflict."
SMART MAN!
Trump gave Putin what he wanted without the risks of war. He withheld military aid to Ukraine. He blamed Ukraine for Russian interference in US election. He threatened to pull US out of NATO. He destabilized international alliances. If Zelensky is undermined, risk of replacement by puppet government inviting Russian army for peacekeeping in Ukraine? In contrast, Biden condemns Putin, rallies NATO and increases military aid to Ukraine.
I think as John Bolton has said, Vladimir Putin was waiting until Donald Trump was reelected and pulled us out of NATO for this (Ukraine) attack and of course Joe Bidden didn't have this opportunity...--Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)
Donald Trump has praised for Putin's Ukraine invasion is genus and savvy.
