Tucker Carlson is back in Moscow. Is he going to go to a russian supermarket again and stare at the bread selection just dumbfounded?

That's an unusual place for a dead letter drop.

Kremlin wants him to send a message. I'm guessing a nook-ook-ook threat. "Da, I will nuke my mistress in London if u don't stop supporting the Ukraine. No guys, stop laughing I really mean it this time".

Ukrainians have obviously gained control of the weather in the Black Sea, as it couldn't possibly be incompetence that's led to two Russian oil tankers sinking in the Krech Strait:

That is a masterclass in dishonest journalism.

"And look at this subway!"

Tucker McAfee Kensington Fucktard Inheritance Carlson a journalist?
"Yeah, I am only going to use one source and distort as much as I can".

"Oh, bread, and we only paid like 100 dollars for this entire cart of groceries".

You can see a more honest version of him as he is nearly pissing himself in excitement at Madison Square Garden during that... what do you call it? Oh, fascist rally. Sorry, been a while since I saw one.

I do kind of love that Moscow subway stations have now been duping useful idiots for 90 years.

That rare Beatrice Webb-Tucker Carlson horse-shoe.

My best fancy subway experience remains the last time I was in Vienna (early 2000s) and there were these coin-operated restrooms that played opera while you took a dump.

I loved the wooden carriages in Budapest.

Admit it, you'd have loved this class at 13.

I remember when I tried to get out of the draft for medical reasons (I have hearing issues since I was an infant) and all I got was getting exempted from weapons training, which I thought was the only cool part of getting drafted 

Fortunately it was abolished just in time.

I loved the wooden carriages in Budapest.

I see they retired them in 2013 but Buenos Aires used to have some fantastic looking wooden metro carriages too.

My favourite subway thing is in Taipei where there are karaoke booths in some subway stations for when you just can't wait to get to the bar

Out of curiosity, what is your "go to" karaoke song?

Bomb kills chief of Russian nuclear protection forces in Moscow

MOSCOW, Dec 17 (Reuters) - A bomb hidden in an electric scooter killed a senior Russian general in charge of nuclear protection forces in Moscow on Tuesday, Russia's investigative committee said.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who is chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside an apartment building on Ryazansky Prospekt, which starts a road some seven km (4 miles) southeast of the Kremlin.

"Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and his assistant were killed," the investigative committee said.

Photographs posted on Russian Telegram channels showed a shattered entrance to a building littered with rubble and two bodies lying in the blood-stained snow.

Reuters footage from the scene showed a police cordon. A criminal case has been opened.

Russia's radioactive, chemical and biological defence troops, known as RKhBZ, are special forces who operate under conditions of radioactive, chemical and biological contamination.

On Monday, Ukrainian prosecutors charged Kirillov in absentia with the alleged use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine said, according to the Kyiv Independent.

Russia denies those accusations.

Britain in October sanctioned Kirillov and the nuclear protection forces for using riot control agents and multiple reports of the use of the toxic choking agent chloropicrin on the battlefield.
