There's something viscerally unpleasant about a mangled piece of war machinery that's representative of so much needless death and destruction having a fucking MEME put on top of it.

heh! My uncle, an old Marine, had a ceramic Kilroy on his bookcase, and I never knew what it meant until this very moment.

The sign tells that the tank came from a region close to Mongolia and was taken out in a city close to Kiev, having traveled about 6100KM. It was blown up by an Anti-tank mine.
On the other side of the turret is a sign reading "W Zalinski Square 1" as if it's a street sign.

I wish they wouldn't use Zelenski's name; it paints even more of a target on him and his family.
I almost want to hear less of him, because if we keep hearing more and more, the last piece of news will be of his death. Eventually, Putin's assassins will get him...

I mean, he;s the president of the country, he;s quite a visible person, he's the one going to every summit etc, it's not like the russians might forget about him if we just stay quiet.
i understand your sentiment, don't get me wrong, but please understand that i's not like he can "step back" at this point, it's a bit like bill gates - microsoft or jeff bezos - amazon, they're both not CEO anymore but people still think they are, even after stepping back.

The media isn't really something that changes the minds of most leaders. If you're invading a country, you're going to spend a lot of time thinking about who you're invading

World leaders know news isn’t for info, it’s for dissemination of state ideas. Especially in Russia

sad times are there when passing ruffians can say "Ni!" at will to old ladies! There is a pestilence in this land! Nothing is sacred! Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history!
