Yeah, this could be bad... nothing we can do but hope.

Oh, for Pete's sake.. You've had over a year to build and stock your bomb shelter.

A bomb shelter will not protect you from a nuclear winter.

Not surprised but there are now reports circulating that Putin has flown out of Moscow and is headed to his official residence.

His puppet Dmitry Peskov is denying this and is adamant he is still in the Kremlin which adds weight to my belief he has in fact left the Kremlin.

Nuclear winter won't last forever, a year or two at most.

According to the news here. Wagner and Russian army should have come to an agreement and Wagner who's around 200 km from Moscow are turning back to their bases. It was Lukashenko who was the negotiator between Wagner and Russian Army(Putin)

This should be unconfirmed.

The beeb reports that Prigozhin has made a beeline for Belarus after halting the advance on Moscow. Bets against him falling to his death from a basement window in Minsk?

He went without his troops so you may be right.

Its handbags at forty paces, it will all fizzle out and they'll get back to the frontline and they can keep on sniping at each other, much safer than trying to avoid a real bullet.

This makes no sense, I think it's all a ruse of some sort.
