War with Russia

[briantrumpet]

They are doing it on a daily basis.
It's the only weapon Russia has left.
Hopefully, the money to fund the war will run out sooner rather than later*. They are running out of troops on the ground and they are running out of the means to transport the troops (horses?! ffs). Prokrovsk and Kupyanski has been a massacre of Russian personnel.
October losses, 24k, Nov 26k, Dec 33k with plans to eliminate 60k per month in 2026. See Article above.

*There's constant bombing of refineries. Ukraine hit another tanker just off the coast of Turkey just 2 days ago.

Indeed. Still grim for Ukrainians to endure.

Rumour, ayatollah looking for a place ride out the kerfuffle in his home town.

In the event Russia cant take him, any of you lefties would consider putting him up for a few years in your guest bedroom?

Russia launched a Nuclear missile (without a warhead) at Lviv.
Which didn't really do much damage but it's a $30m missile. Seems like they are desperate and running out of munitions.
Plus: Starlink installed on... horses

Only if he doesn't pee all over the toilet seat, makes a good curry (or whatever the cuisine is there) and doesn't do anything naughty.

Persian food is not hot like Indian food is, but it is very tasty. This is my favourite.

Having said that, I wouldn't expect Khamenei to be able to cook it.

Interesting!

Well, ok, he can bring his private chef(s) or whatever then too! 😆

Very much agree. Tends to mix savoury and sweet more than other cuisines. From what I have experienced. And you have to really like things like sultanas and sesame and rose.

I am no foodie really, but we occasionally splurge. The experience that got me into it was an expensive (for Marrakesh) place where we had things like pigeon pastilla, sat on low cushions within the central courtyard an ex merchant's mansion. Properly an Indiana Jones setting.
