Well, it is really necessary to have a review of the situation on the ground.
IN THE VATICAN
- Trump and Zelensky met in the Vatican, during Francis's funeral. I appreciate the Pope Francis can do diplomacy even after death - perhaps he will become a Saint some day,

IN KURSK
- Putin claims recovering Kursk (after month, not days or week as someone said on this thread a while ago). However all the territory is not under Ruzzian control, unless Putin has decided to hand part of it to Ukraine.

IN MOSCOW
- A prominent Moscowian general (Yaroslav) has been deleted by Ukraine. This was done by making his car explode in from of his flat, where he lived and merrily planned attacks on Ukranian civils (like the recent one in Summy). I am not saying it is related, but...

- Recently, a massice depot in Moscow was also deleted. There are now satellite picture showing the massive damage. Something between 100.000 to 300.000 Tons of explosives have been deleted.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crm3lmwm73voRussia's military blamed the blast on ammunition which had detonated after the storage building caught fire due to a "violation of safety requirements".
Indeed, a violation of safety procedures: it is much safer not to attack your neighbourg and get on their bad side.

- Yesterday, a port in Iran which apparently was being used to get rocket fuel components from China blew spectacularly. I can see in the picture 2 different zones in fire. Do you think that two people were smoking in two wrong places at the same time?

To understand how absurd a Russian Black Sea Navy is you have to understand that it first would have to pass the
Bosporus strait (right through the heart of Istanbul) to arrive in the
Sea of Marmara then pass the
Dardanelles strait again Turkey territorium (NATO) to arrive at the
Aegean Sea Greece (EU) waters. Now the fleet is ready to do some major battles in the
Mediterranean Sea, at least some drunk a*s politician will tell you so. Turkish people if they wanted to stand on the bridge and in the literal sense piss on the passing Russian Navy.
The world is a nut house.
https://i.ibb.co/bgPSh04f/Untitled.pngRussia is wealthy enough, and Turkey is greedy enough, that Russia can buy their way through Turkish waters... from the Black Sea to the Aegean... if necessary. NATO isn't important when it comes to cash... or gold.

However, that is exactly what did not happen. Military ships were banned from crossing as the war started, although there is some "complication" to it.
