A Blast from the Past
06/03/2022 08:19 pm I had every intention of slinking upstairs to do a proper post.
So much stuff happening in the last few weeks.
The Big Mac is in one room upstairs where I also keep my books about witchcraft, the occult and assorted conspiracy theories.
The other room is mainly filled with books about history and politics.
Two of them have grabbed my attention lately.
Bill Browder's "Red Notice" and another with Aleksandr Litvinenko on the cover. The infamous hospital bed photo.
He had been the unwilling and unknowing guest at one of Vladimir Putin's tea parties.
I was also reminded of the 3rd series of the "Russia, if you're listening" podcast from about 2 years ago.
Looking at the shelling of Ukrainian cities with all the collapsed apartment buildings reminded me of something.
The bags in the basement in the town of Ryazan.
Sort of a Russian version of the Chinese tainted baby formula. A government that treats the lives of its OWN citizens as disposable will hardly care about the lives of foreigners.
