I think the hyperbole and attributing Dugin to direct influence on Putin is unhelpful The article is also written by the Jewish Chronicle and they focus on anti-Semitism in Russia generally from the Soviet time but they raise parallels between Dugins rhetoric and Putins propaganda. Thats the influence I am referring to like the example below "Dugin’s buzzword, “Novorossiya”, meaning “new Russia”, was repeatedly used by Putin on national television in 2014 regarding the annexing of Crimea, resurrecting the Tsarist terminology of the Russian empire. Dugin envisages a “new world” centred around Russia, and Putin’s victorious press release about Ukraine was similarly titled the “offensive of Russia and the New World”. According to Ukraine’s Page News, its proud publication had been scheduled for two days after the Ukraine invasion. With efficiency typical of the Soviet era, somebody forgot to remove it from the automated timer function"

But vaccines are taken to give you anti-bodies so you get less sick before you exposed . They not suppose to be taken when you already have the virus?

Yes she was a known and vociferous propagandist and called for the genocide of Ukrainians In most countries being a propagandist doesnt mean you will get assassinated but this is Russia

Yes, you raise a good point. Its possible

Yes, he was pro-Putin. He was one of the propaganda mouthpieces for Putins War The interesting point is was Putin behind it? I doubt it because they were close so this could be a major change in the internal stability of Russia. Could you ever imagine an assassination attempt within Russia of a Putin ally before Putins War?

No thats not the point, in the world of Russian associated assassinations family members are often collateral damage or get killed Blame Putin for setting the precedent, dont get mad at me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_and_Russian_assassinations

Not really, he is a propaganda mouthpiece of Putin. Comments like he calls for the " obliteration of Ukraine " and other things so he would be a legitimate target for anyone opposed to Putin or Putins War

As we all know Putin has been assassinating and killing people who speak against him for years so this is just an example of one of the other sides doing the same thing. It was inevitable and doesnt surprise me in the least

Shady dont be one of " those " people, buy a Tesla if its the right car...dont let your personal views on Musk cloud commonsense

Why what do you think will be the extrapolation from this truthful account from a Russian soldier?

What !! I thought when you use to do your daily walks you did 18-20 miles/day ? But I agree, 18 miles/day is not my idea of a reasonable or achievable hike

Yes, Im like you. I always play on normal and I have no issues with dropping any game to easy on certain encounters but only when something is really vexing me...and I always try for about 2-3 hours first

My brother-in-law went for a 4 day hike in Czech in a place called the Sumava park that reaches into the Bavarian forest, it was 70 miles and they did about 18 miles/day. The scenery looks amazing

The Wagner Group are nothing but barbaric and uncontrolled mercenaries who have no respect for human life or the Geneva Convention, I hope they suffer severely

I completed BG1 last night, it was a great game and highly recommended and gets a solid 72/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system " But the final battle with Sarevok was almost impossible, I spent about 4-5 hours trying different strategies and combinations and I could only finally defeat him by dropping the difficulty to easy. Then I used my invisible mage to go to right of the screen and used AOE spells to weaken him, without drawing aggro, and his companions and then when they attacked me I used a combination of my 2x fighters has potions of cloud giant strength I used arrows of dispelling and biting I used potions of magic resistance I cant believe people defeated him on the harder difficulty but my party was level 6 and 7? What level were you on when you fought Sarevok and what strategy did you use in the final battle? I am now playing Siege of Dragonspear, I hear its not that good but I am going to play it anyway because it starts straight away and Im in a " BG " mood for gaming

I got back to Cpt this week so the exciting " Saga of the Sword Coast " chronicles can continue I arrived in the iconic and bustling city of BG and loads of events occurred. What a city, lots of shops and side quests. Freeing nymphs from licentious wizards and helping Necromancers find bodies to name a few of the activities. I have also thwarted Saveroks diabolical plans to control BG, he fled into the maze under the Thieves Guild and I have reached the dungeon under the maze and I expect a final confrontation with my half-brother who I may spare after agreeing to do this with beautiful Tamoko I had the most difficult battle so far with 2 x Skeletal Warriors in the maze and I only succeeded by separating them, I had to swop Khalids weapon to a mace because only crushing damage was effective and magic was useless due to MR....very hard battle Further updates to follow

Im 70 hours into BG:EE , I have reached BG and its great fun. Did you load mods like BG1 Quests, Romance and NPC project is a must because it adds dialogue from companion thats lacking

It surprises me how many people I know would immediately say no to crocodile and yet its very tasty, the last time I had it was 2 years ago and it reminded me of chicken ?

You mustn't let exaggerated wokeness put you off Bioware games Hoonding, dont allow yourself to be manipulated by right wing rhetoric. Bioware games are great fun

Gorthfuscious why do you hate freedom of speech, Democracies are built on it

I know people who lost there sense of smell for 12 months and others who recovered it after 2-3 weeks. And then some who never lost it at all. What an insidious disease around symptoms

You know you living in Africa when you can buy Crocodile Pate, I cant wait to try it
