She has now thanked the Nigerians for welcoming her home!

What's the snag? Any particular reason Nigeria welcomes her so presidentially? (as claimed somewhere)

A new definition of Having A Bad Day... A Russian soldier is caught in the open in broad daylight by an FPV drone, carrying nothing but two plastic 4l containers of gasoline.

Well, it's said now:

Russian offensive efforts to seize Vovchansk (northeast of Kharkiv City) are in large part a consequence of the tacit Western policy that Ukrainian forces cannot use Western-provided systems to strike legitimate military targets within Russia.

yep, that's it, thank you! As for the ruz activity towards Kharkiv - for now it's reported in the 'grey zone' where neither has any meaningful defence structures (as these would be destroyed anyway). But, UKR forces there are not as well equipped as elsewhere, and the defences are in the landscape t...

Sounds reasonable. Even though gerassimov was said to continue in his previous duties. As for shoigu, it's claimed to be even more significant he got the post that patrushev had, and there's nothing about him moving somewhere. The reason for promoting a non-mil person might be putin's wish to keep t...

Shoigu booted. Interesting. Close confidant as he was. Now to replace Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev.
putin has appointed Andrey Belousov as Minister of Defense, replacing current minister Sergei Shoigu

Watched part of the Eurovision Song Contest as a friend wrote one of the songs. They only came in 12th, possibly because the singer is male, heterosexual, married with children, was not partially nude, doesn't practice witchcraft and didn't scream and rant.

Macron has specified - French troops could be sent to UKR, if ruz makes a breakthrough and UKR asks for help. It's not popular with putin. ruz is taking villages to Kharkiv direction and media is over the moon with new headlines, but analysts say that's 'just' tactical. ruz losses are (daily) more t...

Yep, and she loves being Mom most.
To the King's grandchildren, lest we forget.

I would like the Israeli girl to do well just to pi$$ off the professional protesters squatting outside. Same protestors would be off like a shot if they thought a better cause would get them more publicity. Somehow it sounds reasonable. Somehow it seems ike the pros are being paid. Maybe in the US...

Another SU-25 down:

So, here we go. Israel got to the finals (despite demonstrations demanding she quit; thousands of protesters around the venue, Miss Greta and all). The singer had to stay in her room for safety reasons. Today she was transported to the venue with extra-security police forces. The Dutch singer was ba...

In London a child asked Ginge why his wife wasn't with him. He replied that it wasn't safe. What do you mean asked the child. He was stuck with that one. Seriously? The child did? :) My impression (from the headlines) is that they went to Nigeria's safety for Meghan to be able to say: I married him...

He must have had something with the driving wheel, too, then? He wasn't exactly on his lane when coming from the left, and made a U-turn, almost?

May 5th

Yep. We'll see.

Meanwhile, peaceful ruz - submarine bus (drones attached above somehow):


The driver had lost control, they say.

No idea. I've read somewhere, though, that if a well is closed (no market for the product, for example), it can't be just 'unplugged', it'll be like drilling a new one. There's speculation on why ruz is unable to down the drones (as they did say they'd organised extra air defence to the facilities),...
