Then you need to write an article with some footnotes attached.

 

 Russia’s federal revenues ballooned to a record $320 billion in 2023 and are set to rise further still.

 

I don't know what that means.

Carlson has been to the blag McDonalds in Moss-cow and discovered that they do indeed have burgers in stock. This changes everything.

Russian authorities set more conditions to release Navalny’s body to family

The Russian Investigative Committee has set more conditions to release Alexey Navalny’s body to his mother, according to Ivan Zhdanov, the director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.

Aside from conducting a secret funeral "among the family," the committee said they require the following three conditions:

1. The body should be transported to Moscow on a special plane, and before arriving in the capital, Navalny’s mother should not announce the funeral in order for the crowd not to meet the body at the airport.
2. The family must be accompanied by an employee of the investigative committee at all times before the funeral.
3. Navalny’s mother should decide on the date of the funeral after arriving in Moscow. The body should be kept in the Moscow or Vladimir region before the funeral. According to Zhdanov, the investigative committee “is afraid that the morgue will be stormed.”

 

Why would the morgue be stormed??

So they could take the body for an autopsy?

The lead lined coffin might be hard to explain.

Scumbags care more for Navalny than the slaughter of women and children.

 

 

 

 

Biden announces 500 further sanctions on Russia over Navalny's death.

 

Biden said that is Putin is not made to ‘pay the price’ for death and destruction, ‘he will keep going’.

THE UNITED STATES and the European Union are piling new sanctions on Russia on the eve of the second anniversary of its invasion of Ukraine and in retaliation for the death of noted Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny last week in an Arctic penal colony.

Russia taking no chances on having the poison revealed this time.

 

They learned their lesson after they poisoned him last time and then let him be transferred to a German clinic too soon after thinking that there wouldn't be any traces of it left (they were wrong). I'm sure whoever is in charge of his body this time was shown what happened to the person who made that mistake and will be quite eager not to repeat the experience.

Two years down, three to go.

Today. Besties.

According to Zelensky, 31k Ukrainian soldiers has died in the war: https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-02-25-24/index.html

So sad that Russians can’t go into central London today and have to fear for their lives because of these hate marches.

Hmm, wonder if this was actually someone in Putin's circle but not Putin himself?

The conditions sound fucking horrible in those places. If you don't get beaten to death or poisoned you'll be utterly fucked from malnutrition or disease, doubt you'd get any medical attention. Grim!

Bork, bork, bork!

 

Hopefully they can start sending that Gripens now.

I feel safer already.

 

 

[Gnasher]

Should be OK. Can't see any problems further down the track.

Would they tell him? He works for Russia.

Take a brave one to tuck into the buffet after that funeral in Moscow today. Especially if they had outside catering. I bet the chicken drumsticks were warm and glowing.

One of the key cognitive dissonance areas is uranium extraction in Chad.

Heavy gunfire erupted in Chad’s capital N’Djamena on Wednesday, just hours after announcements of a long-awaited election date in the central African country.

The Chadian government said its security forces pushed back against members of the opposition Socialist Party Without Borders (PSF), who led an attack on state security forces early Wednesday after an altercation with a party member.

Local newspapers reported more gunfire and a possible bombing of the party’s headquarters later on Wednesday. Local authorities said Thursday that “dozens” of people had been wounded or killed. PSF leader Yaya Dillo was among those killed.

Chad has long been in the grip of political tensions arising from shifting allegiances and familial and tribal relations within the political elite. Uncertainty following the death of longtime ruler Idriss Deby in 2021 and the installation of his son Mahamat as leader have escalated the problems.
