This is worth repeating, even if I do say so myself!

Russia claims it’s in the last phase of COVID-19 vaccine trials
Actual vaccination may start as soon as November. It's hard to say if framing this as a "race" is actually just a negative slant meant to make Russia look bad or not. In any case, it's certainly not neutral and objective and comes across as a bit of anti-Russian propaganda instead of a fair assessment of the situation.

Paul McCartney - Back In The USSR (Live - Reprise)
One of the most noteworthy performances in rock history and you can see Vladimir Putin in the audience. This is from 2005. It would be nice to see McCartney return to Red Square for another big concert while he can still do it.

Germany identifies nerve agent used to poison Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny
If the Russian government did it, then they would have finished him off. Instead they allowed him to be transported to Germany. Navalny obviously has enemies, but he's not consequential enough for Moscow to even bother with.

It’s getting intense | Navalny accuses Putin of poisoning him, Kremlin says he works for CIA
Navalny is irrelevant inside Russia. His importance is greatly exaggerated outside of Russia. Putin would not bother with such an insignificant ankle-biter. Navalny does everything he can to make himself seem important.

Navalny is a self-aggrandizing piece of :poop: ! I'm sure he has plenty of enemies, but he's too small of a fish for Putin to bother with.

Putin says Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny not worth poisoning
There's a story being floated by CNN that Navalny's underwear was poisoned. Although obviously staged, the claim is that Navalny tricked a Russian agent into revealing the plan while talking on a telephone. There are several obvious reasons why this wouldn't happen, but apparently CNN believes it's viewers are dumb enough to believe the story. It comes across more like a "Chris Hansen - To Catch A Predator" episode than real news, but there are plenty of people who can't tell the difference.

Putin Calls Out TikTok: They Don't Give A Damn About Kids, They Only Care About Profit!
It should come as no surprise that Russia has some of the same problems as we do here in the USA. Protecting kids from harmful content while allowing for freedom of speech is not an easy thing to do.

Media, Dems pushed 'debunked' Russia bounty story for months
No one with any sense believed this bullshit to begin with! :smack:
It would seem that the left-leaning media and the democrats are pathological liars!
Would you walk a mile for me?

Russia: Putin rejects accusations regarding Navalny assassination attempt
It's easy to make accusations, but an accusation without evidence is often just a cheap shot.
