Could Prigozhin Oust Putin?
Reading a recent story in the Washington Post, I was struck by the opinions it reported about Putinโs shrinking circle of trusted advisers and his apparent lack of a strategy for the Ukraine war after 300 days of failure. This is an extract of what the Post reported:

I've just been reading Michael Dobbs's book 'Churchill's Triumph'. Dobbs, creator of the 'House of Cards' series of novels is a master political and thriller novelist. Yet again, it's one of those pickups from a goodwill shop that has led me off on a safari into history.

ยป KEY POINTS Before any bill passed by any legislature (State or Federal) becomes law, it should be reviewed by the Courts for Constitutionality and alignment with existing law without the need for anyone to sue. All laws should expire after 20 years so they must be re-approved by the current legislature. Existing laws older than 20 years would need to expire on a special schedule until all laws are in regular cycles.
Is Putin's evil scheme the new Satellite Destroyer Missile?
Russia's S-550 air defense system is designed to shoot down adversary ballistic missiles and aircraft, including the United States' fifth generation fighters, the F-22 and F-35, as well as the future B-21 Raider bomber. Is the S-550, however, as effective as Russia claims? Here's what military strategists have to say about it. ๐๐บโ
What is Putin's latest major issue for the Russian military in the Ukraine conflict?
Putin's hastily recruited draftees are expressing dissatisfaction as inadequate training before a hurried deployment. Will it end up being a disaster for Russia? ๐ซ๐บโ
Why can't Russia fight against Ukraine's Mad Max vehicles?
What does it take to defeat a world power?Throughout the year, social media has been flooded with home footage depicting the Ukrainian army repurposing salvaged weaponry from defeated Russian soldiers, old Soviet remnants, and even deserted civilian houses, and using it to fend off its adversary. This has traditionally been a technique used by underdogs in conflict, but Ukraine has taken it to a whole new dimension. ๐๐บโ

Putin does not appear to be the type of person who is easily shaken, but a strategy employed by the Ukrainian army appears to have taken him completely by surprise. But what exactly is this new approach, called "thunder runs" by some commenters? Did Ukraine design a whole new fighting tactic to deploy against Russia? Here's why Ukraine's conventional practices are so efficient, and why the Russian army is now focused on survival rather than triumph. ๐โ๐ฉธ
Why Didn't Ukraine Assault the Crimea Bridge Earlier?
For years, Ukraine has been at odds with Russia over the Crimean peninsula. In this astonishing narrative, we look at why Ukraine didn't strike the Crimea Bridge sooner, and what it could signify for Ukraine's long - term plan. ๐โญโฌ
Why is Russia's sole aircraft carrier a complete embarrassment among other navies?
Aircraft Carriers are possibly the most accurate indication of a country's military capability at sea. They are both awe-inspiring and terrifying, making them ideal not just for projecting strength but also for serving as a symbol for an entire fleet. With so many advantages, what makes a nation like Russia, whose army relies heavily on displays of power, only possess one? When compared to the ultra sophisticated Ford class carriers that the US is putting out to sea, the Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's sole carrier, looks more like a heaping pile of old Soviet period hardware. So, why is Russia not producing new aircraft carriers?
Radical Plan: Make Congress Actually Vote!
ยป KEY POINTS Many Amendments to the Constitution are needed in order to force bills to be discussed and voted upon in a timely manner. The leaders of each chamber must have their power to control the legislative process severely curtailed so that minority voices can be heard. Legislation must be clean and single clause in order to avoid pork and allow each element to be reviewed and approved on its own. All Congresspeople must vote and cannot avoid their duty to do so.
