Putin creates A Fellowship of the Ring, forging his Precious in Mt Doom FIRES of Mordor: meduza.io/en/news/2022/1…
Putin, of course, disguised his Precious & gave 8 fakes to fellow 'Stans. [Putin body doubles got silver/penis rings. eprimefeed.com/latest-news/th…
So now, as added bonus, finally, a real Putin can be id'ed]
Even though Leader of Mordor, at just over 5' tall [150cm] Putin technically qualifies as a hobbit.

Great tweet that stirred something in this old fart into sharing:

A child, Peter was sent to Netherlands to save from palace intrigue & assassination attempts in Russia.
He grew up with Western education & values
& upon return in 1695 attempted to introduce culture to the Russian courts. I see you laughing, That manifested itself in predictably strange & entertaining ways, like giving court nobility a choice between cutting their long beards or heads.
One innovation was the Irish potato🥔
"Bulgarian Parliament gave its final approval for supplying arms to Ukraine, - Sofia Globe
Last week the deputies voted to confirm the weapons list; the list is classified"
imho, this is a much bigger deal than it appears.
very short 🧵
who penned the best OSINT thread on old Soviet ammo available to Russia - it's long, but really worth a read to understand wtf Russia is firing
and how much of is left and why there are so many misfires in the Russian artillery.
But back to Bulgaria.
Old Eastern Bloc countries all used the Soviet standard.
That has spread to countries Russia supplies in Africa, that's in Syria, & even Turkey opted for some Ru weapons
