An Austrian politician made improper suggestions in his tweet regarding the German Secretary of State.

How stupid must a public figure be to make such comments on social media. 🤦

Russia sent its special agents to investigate the killing of Zakharchenko, the head of self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Link

First of all, can you actually send your special.agents. to a foreign country to investigate whatever without being asked to, and be open about it? Was the man at least a Russian citizen? Just curious; it's such a mess over there.

  1. AFAICT Zakharchenko wasn't a Russian citizen ,but that's irrelevant.
    In a war the stronger side can do whatever it feels like.
    Such actions may be illegal according to accepted international laws, but who cares?
    In reality The Law of the Jungle always overrides human's laws.
    It has always been that way.There is nothing new under the sun.

    The Austrian politician might be stupid but he wouldn't be the first one at that.
    His,now deleted,post was a hateful political attack.
    Again,he wasn't the first one to engage in this and I'm sure he won't be the last.

    1. That's clear as day that those who assume they can do whatever they want will often do just that. I just thought it was a bit inconsistent on Russia's behalf, since we paint ourselves as the good guys, ya know))

      Sure, many people do stupid things, including politicians posting crap on social media. He must have spaced out for a moment or something like that, most likely got overly excited about how witty and cutting a retort he had come up with. Nevertheless, by the age of 40 people should learn to hold back, unless they're Trump or, idk, Boris Johnson -- a figure big enough to get away with being batty.
