Russia is running out of windows to jump from:
Russian minister dies by suicide hours after getting fired by Putin, officials say
The Investigative Committee of Russia said in a statement that Starovoit’s body was found inside a car in Odintsovo, a suburb of Moscow. He was found with a gunshot wound, the committee said. It said the circumstances of his death were being investigated but the “main theory is suicide.”

These Irish guys are pretty funny. They have a recurring skit of trying to get past immigration in various countries. This one is about trying to get past Russian immigration police.
Ukrainian SBU officer shot dead in Kyiv. Ukrainians hunt down and kill the perps.
Ukraine's security agency says it killed Russian agents suspected of gunning down its officer
Voronuch was involved in behind the lines work in Russia and Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Gotta employ fieldcraft, even behind friendly lines...

This has come up in this thread before, so I'll stick it here, rather than making a new thread. I finally got around to reading "Band of Brothers." I got an instant chuckle out of their Toccoa training camp name. It is Cherokee, but the meaning was mangled. It also exists in the Smokys. The Indians were telling the settlers where they could find an important herb, "guru," basil, I think. They designated one mountain "guru hee." "Hee" means "at this place." The settlers heard "curry" instead and spelled it "Curry Hi." People seeing the name on paper thought it meant "Curry High." So they named an adjacent mountain "Curry Low." Same process turned "Tsalikee" into "Cherokee." In the Civil War, the rebels asked the Indians for the best route for a route over the mountains to move Materiel. The Indians could not come closer to the "V" than "B." So, the winner was designated "Bote Mountain Road," and remains so today. "That word doesn't mean what you think it means"...
I have learned twice not to try to outdrink Russians and their vodka. Both times, I had forgotten that Russian tradition is that, if the guest has an empty glass, they will continue to pour until you say, "Enough!".
The husband of my wife's cousin is an American. I was talking to him the other day, and he said he was incredibly hung over after visiting Igor(another relative)'s house. I chuckled, and said, "I've been 'Igor'd twice already!".
In the Ken Burns Civil War series, Burns was interviewing Shelby Foote about Chickamauga. Foote said, "Tradition says, 'Chickamauga' means 'River of Death.' God only knows what it really means."This has come up in this thread before, so I'll stick it here, rather than making a new thread. I finally got around to reading "Band of Brothers."

To this day, if you pick a river having any Indian-based name, and ask my kids what the name means and they will tell you it means, "River of Death."
Shelby Foote lives on.
"I go home, I tell the first lady, 'You know, I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' And she said, 'Oh really? Another city was just hit,'" Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office.
'Oh really?': Trump says his wife Melania has some thoughts on Vladimir Putin
Melania Trump has highlighted Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine in private conversations, President Trump said on Monday.

There is an obscure book on place names in the Smokys. Some are real howlers. One thing is uniform - any tribe's name for itself approximates "the real people"...
New deadline announced, 10 or 12 days from today. Moving in the right direction for once but we shall see.
