The emphasis in Russia about the need for a 'Tsar' and a police state is likely similar to why China wants an 'emperor' and why half of America wanted a 'King Trump'- vast country with a vast population is difficult to govern for a weak democratic ruler. It would lead to lack of leadership, chaos and civil war. I think the situation in every country is different. It is much easier to govern a very small country. I think western economic theories about economic development are heavily flawed. We in the west live in the 'service economy' which is actually filled with massive inflation, bullsh*t jobs, corrupt industry structures, de-industrialization, and lack of real economic/cultural/social development. For the US middle and working class, living standards have barely budged in 40 years and have declined for many. The soon to be 34 trillion dollars of debt is another sign of failure. European economic performance has been stagnating for decades too. Then communist China with a mixed economy becomes the biggest real economy in the world with the fastest growth. America like Russia is also ruled by Oligarchs and has a corrupt and incompetent political and military system.

The Russian forces launched an offensive into Adviika fortified city a few days before the Putin-Tucker meeting. On the same day Zelensky openly fired Army chief Zaluzhnyi. The Ukrainian defenses are collapsing and there are forces getting encircled in a pocket. Units are the process are retreating out of it. Ukr sources claim up to 16 combat battalions getting cut off and Russian 90th Tank division being maneuvered in as a reserve. The new commander-in chief announced a general retreat from the area today. Tucker is clearly representing the 'abandon ship' wing of the Republican party. The Russian strategy of fighting this war very slowly in order to minimize Western support appears to be working as the West gets more and more exhausted both militarily and politically. Even the US war mongering propaganda is only a fraction of what it was 1 yr ago and there is more reporting on Gaza than on Ukraine: Tucker Carlson: "Lindsey Graham’s latest scheme is convincing Republicans that it’s somehow better to loan Zelensky $60 billion, rather than give it to him. Some are falling for this. But it’s fraudulent. Ukraine will never repay the debt, and we’ll never make them. This is just a more dishonest way to send more unaccounted for weapons to the region, delay the inevitable peace deal and kill more forcibly-conscripted Ukrainians, some of whom are nearly Lindsey Graham’s age. It’d be easier to take if he’d join them on the battlefield."

New Tomb Raider. Better than the previous one

got my blood work done in the first time in 17 years. Pretty pleased to see that there are no real issues. I have slightly low white blood cell count and surprisingly, quite low cholesterol and blood sugar. I eat meat 2 times a day..
