'Russian Cruise Missiles Were Made Just Months Ago Despite Sanctions' - New York Times
Not want we wanted to hear but we need to be aware of it.

Yes - but that probably means they aren't building cars, or refigerators or whatever - something that they need anyway. Of course they'll have been diverting resources to producing weapons.
Hopefully we can all get to laugh at how rubbish Lada missiles turned out to be!
(Sadly, even if they're crude and inefficient, they'll still probably kill innocent people)

Can anyone on NSC pull any strings, to arrange for me to meet Putin, either at one of his retreats, or at The Kremlin ? I've got COVID.
Thanks, I'll give that another listen with the volume up higher
.I can't imagine the US will give permission for NATO weapons to be fired into Russian territory, but maybe this is a Ukrainian drone so...'go right ahead'... perhaps a little logistics support.

Oil tankers are today burning at a Russian airbase near the city of Kursk, around 60 miles from the Ukraine border, just a day after similar blasts at two other bases that were blamed on Kyiv.

I recommend the above podcast. And the Falklands series.
They reckon the war has got about another year in it.

I've listened properly @Eric the meek and you are probably right ...good listening skills
. And, if so, it's likely a reusable drone (not kamikaze), even better

Quote on the BBC website…
Vladimir Putin has said the threat of a nuclear war was rising, but insisted Russia had not "gone mad" and would not use its nuclear weapons first.
The Russian president insisted that his country would only use weapons of mass destruction in response to an attack.
I genuinely hope he means this, he of course knows a nuclear war is a war nobody can win. I for one will sleep a little better as a parent.
What does the spring hold? It’s gonna be a shithouse winter for the poor Ukrainians

He mentions nukes about every 5 weeks. Usually just before an offensive or just after a defeat.
It’s a pattern and he’s done it since February. I’m guessing to try and ward off total humiliation. He’s a yapper.
