Can't say 100% for sure until November but it looks like most people are aware of who is to blame:

Makes Greenland look smaller too which he doesn't like.

Czechia is great because it's nice and short, Sakartvelo I doubt because the flag itself has St. George's cross everywhere so it has a strong outward connection with the name. And Japan etc. no way they would change to the endonym because it's their branding letter (K-pop, J-pop...).

Reading the "report" I see she has yet to even master the English -s for plural ("the U.S. paid Ukrainian scientist").

Like if you're a Russian solder there good luck having any supplies get all the way through one of these routes and not get intercepted either by drones or other Russian soldiers that want them first.

Whatever it takes to get through the day, I guess

I always like lurking on this subreddit to see if there is any clarity after events like these. (There is a little, though much more bellyaching overall) old.reddit.com/r/Conservati...

Since the support provided is zero, the only play left is to offer to send support again if Europe helps patrol the strait.

Has he always been like this? I hardly knew about him until a few years ago along with all the rest of us.

He's Giuliani with Zelensky/Ukrainians instead of 9/11.

Russia thought it could yank out a Jenga piece in three days from the tower of international law to leave it in place for further malicious use. For four years they've been pulling, pushing, drop kicking, crowbaring this single piece to no avail and lo and behold the tower itself is now shaky.

Depends entirely on your subreddits. Here's what I see right this moment, all good stuff.

Okay but why not a word about Murmansk this whole month?

That was a great watch. One other event that not many people noticed/remember is that Ukraine even hit a ship in Russia's waterways that connect the Baltic Sea to other places down south (apparently was going to the Caspian Sea, got hit in this lake on the way). www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

I can hear these guys tsk tsking all the way from 1910.

After looking all stubbly and bumpy yesterday with the Ukrainians I bet myself that he would go clean shaven for the Russians and turns out I was right.

Convenient because the Wikipedia page says it hadn't been updated for a while.

Fortunately there is Interslavic now to be the neutral choice:

There's only one reaction to a wall of text from Medvedev that large

Heh, this looked like a big duck face until I gave it a closer look. (Entire dove face being the duck's eye and its wing the duck's head)

@richardgarriott.bsky.social Something I used to do in Serpent Isle in the 90s. These maps make the perfect bricks for building a house. Build one outside Monitor, run in and swat a guard for fun then run outside, quickly wall up the house with maps and go to sleep as he rages outside 😆

Oh good, even if the damage is minor we have this:

Liechtenstein is so unbearably cute as a country. Quick size comparison below.

Actually that article goes to a link from the presidency there in which Lukashenko just tells China that they are big and can handle it 😆

Phew, yeah looks to be everywhere:

@markrussell.bsky.social Odds that we'll have this again this September?

Fits right into the phantom border too which I assume they believe should belong to them again one day.

Weather has cooled down here in Seoul, time to enjoy/panic

Yep, at least @phillipspobrien.bsky.social and some others see this clearly. From his newsletter:

Reminds me of this meme. "I just need to bomb a few more cities and then the whole country will magically collapse"

Huh, that's where Battle River-Crowfoot is? I just assumed it was a bit west of Calgary.

This part of the year in Seoul is pretty fun as the day length is now shrinking at a more rapid rate and you can just start to see the bottom begin to fall out of the hideously hot summer. Just a beginning of a beginning but it's still visible.

The first LNG tanker from the LNG Canada project is back on the radar and is now quite close! Looks like it will dock at Tongyeong in the south of Korea in just four days.
