Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Maybe he's remembering the cover from 2000AD, way back in the 70s? There was a series there about the Russians invading the UK, and the last battle the UK army fought was at Stonehenge. Trying to remember what it was called....Invasion maybe? I know it was set in 1999.
Sounds insane, but nothing this guy is coming out with makes any sense anyway.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Interesting and still no surprise what a far-right conspiracy hell hole this forum is.
And no: I don't care to get banned for that, that's typical for fascists.
Speaking of, on the Bitch's show, a Russian politician suggested they should abduct a NATO defence minister, take them back to Moscow and 'question' them about NATO's involvement.

Multiple reasons:
1: We don't want russia to start claiming their continued existence is under attack.
2: As long as Ukraine is defending all's good, if they go on conquest that won't be necessarily perceived as a good thing.
3: Bombarding, say, Moscow will galvanise the population and nip any rebellious thoughts in the bud.
While I can't say that 'give russia a taste of it's own medicine' won't feel good the fact of the matter is that there is a non-zero percent chance of a very undesirable escalation from the russian side. Is it blackmail? Yes, but that does not change the facts.
Do you want WWIII? Because that's a good way to get on that path... Seriously though if these lawmakers go any further putin will start looking downright reasonable.
1. It's not. Don't give a flying f about ruski feefees. War ends immediately when they fuck out of Ukraine. They know that.
2. Retaliation has nothing to do with conquest, don't be silly dear.
3. Possible, but that puts the wealthy in Russia in danger of dying rather than just the poor rabble. Are they willing to keep chancing it? I doubt it.
In such totalitarian scheme it doesn't shock me the slightest that some rank-and-file politicians lash out such ridiculous comments and/or suggestions. They need to appear good lapdogs for the actual brass, so guess that's the way to please masters, or so many seem to think.
Bruh, it's a trashtalk show where they invite various deadbeat trash attention whore politicians and experts who just sit there and run their mouth for the amusement of the viewers.
Don't take anything there seriously, because even Russians themselves don't. Nobody who visits these shows is anywhere close to being a decision maker.
