Apologies to @Eric the meek, all I can say in my defence is at least I remembered it had been said before.

Interesting listen although presentation is a bit slow & you need a wet afternoon to take it all in. I have now looked for other of his videos. I am amazed he hasn't already found himself arrested, going to have to be really careful when the new treason laws come into effect.

The last time I heard, he was in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, so presumably is safe-ish. He can be a bit slow can't he? But his theories are well considered.
The food cards (=rations) are coming. Whether the intention is to use them to control the people is another question....
I'm retired!It's always wise to keep the door ajar for the unlikely event that you're wrong Raymondo.
Otherwise you could rise to become supreme commander-in-chief of a nuclear superpower, and slowly destroy your whole country.

I'm just listening in to Putin's annual question and answer session.
It's all bollocks of course, but the best part is the comments in the chat:
Does anyone want to buy a cheap oil tanker?
Russia needs potatoes.
You're going to need butter when you meet up with Xi.
Avoid Chinese scooters.
The Russian bot farm in Ghana went 4 months without getting paid and now the Kremlin isn't returning their calls.
Good stuff.

Russias main long range strategic bomber base Olenya is in Murmansk area.
Hopefully Ukraine has taken a few bombers off the chessboard?

I think Rosenberg is completely mad
Rosenberg has a fairly safe position IMHO in that he’s so high profile he’s basically untouchable even for Putin I reckon

Yes, I wasn't expecting that punchline!That is quite something
Mad.
I feel that he's risking his life for basically no reward.
I think the best thing a journalist can do is constantly push the West to support Ukraine, because it will save us lives and money in the long run.
He's one of the few spends from my license fee that I'm happy about.I hope Steve Rosenberg isn't pushing the boundaries too much

Here's a bit from Rosenberg on why he thinks he's permitted to stay (18 months old). I think his questions have pushed the boundary more since then, so I'd judge he's more at risk than before.
He's been there 20 odd years... probably feels like home.
