Two buttons that do what!? Aimed where? Which missiles? It doesn't work like that, he's not a Bond villain.I saw a clip of him talking to Shoigu at a small desk, and I'm pretty sure there were at least two buttons within his reach.

That's shame. I thought 1 button would have opened a trap door to a shark pool.Two buttons that do what!? Aimed where? Which missiles? It doesn't work like that, he's not a Bond villain.
The other is the trap door to the shark pool?Unfortunately he didn't respond to my freedom of information request for answers to those questions.
But at a guess, they were nothing to do with nukes. My guess is one of them would be to call security in case his guest, not necessarily Shoigu, tried to keel heem.
Sadly you were a minute too late.The other is the trap door to the shark pool?
Anyway I'm out already as it's far too serious a thread for my input, just couldn't resist that little one.
Bit of propaganda tv from them . I could imagine that one of Shoigu's 150 medals is a key button in the sequence.I saw a clip of him talking to Shoigu at a small desk, and I'm pretty sure there were at least two buttons within his reach.
I fear we will never find out. They blanked me when I asked what the buttons were for. Can you believe that?Bit of propaganda tv from them . I could imagine that one of Shoigu's 150 medals is a key button in the sequence.
Believe me...this serious thread welcomes the occasional lighthearted quip, or we couldn't get through the weekThe other is the trap door to the shark pool?

I'm pretty sure the public's bank accounts will be tapped directly to pay for their wages, and sundry other stuff, if the public don't buy copious amounts of war bonds (I mean 'Special Military Operation' bonds of course ).I fear we will never find out. They blanked me when I asked what the buttons were for. Can you believe that?
No sense of public accountability whatsoever. They forget that the public pay their wages.
Steve Rosenberg also reported similar this morning. His summary of today’s Russian newspapers, which are obviously subject to heavy censorship/ control, nonetheless contained a lot of negative references to inflation, referenced the “war” (not SMO) and one paper had a cut out and keep prayer guide for the war.Two snippets for this morning:
1. Times Radio report that Trump has said 'if Russia doesn't compromise, he'll arm Ukraine to the teeth'. (Let's hope Russia doesn't compromise then).
2. FMCG (fast moving consumer goods - stuff you buy at the supermarket) inflation in Russia in August was 22% - Vladimir Milov, Swedish Economic Symposium in August.
Trump is a loose cannon, but it you piss him off, then I wouldn't like to be on the end of it. So I hope that **** Putin pisses him off big time.Steve Rosenberg also reported similar this morning.

That's an interesting one. I would interpret that as reality leading the way for the newspapers, in that the press must in part reflect the unavoidable bits of the real world, and report the same things that readers experience in their day-to-day lives, otherwise people will stop reading them, and they will no longer be a useful propaganda tool to shape the opinions of the masses.Steve Rosenberg also reported similar this morning.

Some good news. Republican senate majority leader is going to be John Thune who is pro Ukraine.
Trump and Musk pushed for Rick Scott.
I think the extent of casualties will only become truly visible when and if Moscow and St P citizens are conscripted. They're not there yet.That's an interesting one.

You cannot avoid seeing the 22%+ inflation in your food bills, so if you see articles on inflation, rather than article denying inflation, you will still read the papers and the government still has a chance to convince readers it is not the government's fault. We could begin to see inflation being blamed on external factors.
The litmus test of a free press though, may be to see if they report the true numbers of casualties on the battlefield. I assume that is still a long way off.
Solovyev tells Trump what Russia wants.
Gets worse. Hegseth was forced out of the military (revenge,/axe to grind)
And this is the proposed head of the worlds most powerful military with zero executive or management experience.
What this means for who knows, but it's frightening.
