Sometimes I just think he is just stirring debate by making contradictory statements. If everything is one way traffic then how do you discuss something? Somebody then has to start stirring regardless of his personal opinion?

Norway police arrest Russian for flying drone​

Norway’s police have arrested a Russian man at the airport in the arctic town of Tromsoe and charged him with flying a drone in the second such arrest in a week.
Police seized a large amount of photographic gear, including a drone and several memory cards, during Friday’s arrest of the 51-year-old, who had admitted to flying a drone in Norway, police said.
Sanctions laws forbid Russian companies or citizens from operating aircraft in Norway, which has increased its alertness levels following a number of drone sightings close to its oil and gas infrastructure in recent weeks and in response to the September 26 leaks on the Nord Stream gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea.
“Among the seized material we have reviewed, we have seen pictures from the airport in Kirkenes and pictures of the defence forces’ Bell helicopter,” police prosecutor Jacob Bergh said in a statement.

The Russia Guy

You see reports about Russian draftees being sent to the front in Ukraine without any training, but this account of training when it does happen makes you wonder if it even matters.

Poet and pro-war Donbas correspondent Anna Dolgareva writes about conscripts drafted in Russia's Lipetsk region, describing how there's so little ammo at the firing range that not everyone gets shooting practice, soldiers are issued secondhand flak jackets and helmets, and they spend part of their vital training crash-course on useless marching drills, performing in front of self-satisfied generals.

Dolgareva, who supports the invasion but has criticized Russian officialdom before, complains that decent farm boys are stuck defending the country in these conditions while all the "metrosexuals" scootered away to Georgia. "Dear Motherland, why do you do this to those who love you?" she asks.

Is Elon maybe Bi-Polar or something?

Elon appears to be a narcissist like so many others. Some people become very rich, many around them kiss their a$$ constanly and they start to believe they are exceptional. But without MIT or CALTECH graduates Elon would not be able to do anything in America. He could not do anything in South Africa. These people think they are gods. Elon in that regard could be thought to be a little like Putin in that regard. Still Melnyk is a total ahole and in recent polls of top Ukrainians Ukrainians admire Bandera achieved some 12% after Zelensky's 28%.
