 There is a unique duck tthat deserves a fan following because it hisses, sits in trees, and is unique. Here is a photograph I took of the proud Muscovy.

The "interview" was more like a Ted Cruz filibuster – but even less factual.

Putin ranted quite a bit about his self-serving, imperialistic view of Ukrainian history. Russian ethno-nationalists want their Western dupes to think that Ukraine is some sort of offshoot of Russia. The truth is closer to the opposite of that.

What is now Ukraine had a thriving culture for centuries when Moscow was still just a shit hole on the banks of a tributary of a tributary of the Volga River.

Russia even stole its name from Ukraine.

Putin used Tucker Carlson to push propaganda as if Tucker were an employee of Russian state TV.

Putin would never grant an interview to a legit Western journalist. That tells us something about Tucker Carlson.

Day 41 – First Steps Outside! It’s official—the babies are OUTSIDE! 🎉 They stepped into the sunshine today for the first time, looking a little confused at first, but within minutes, they were exploring their new space. Their little feet touching the grass, their wings flapping wildly—pure joy! They’re in a safe, fenced area, but the fresh air and sun are already making them happier. Let the adventures begin! ☀️🦆 #FirstDayOut #SunshineDucks #ExploringTheWorld

« The reason these colonial wars take a long time is that it’s the aggressor who needs to come to the conclusion that the attack was a mistake. Possibly, the Russians are already there. But they also have to conclude that the cost in blood and treasure is not worth the objective. They’re clearly not there yet. It usually also takes a change of team, unfortunately. And we have no indications of it, which is why the war is continuing. I think we should have a base scenario of some more years. If we get a solution earlier, that would be a bonus. »

— Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski in conversation with editor Ravi Agrawal at Foreign Policy. (archived)

One thing which many people don't get is that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a neo-colonialist war.

Some leaders in South and Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America give Russia a mulligan because Russia didn't have colonies in their regions. They fail to notice that Russia's colonies have been in the "near abroad" – Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Those areas are NOT natural parts of Russia which was just a principality called Muscovy about the size of Denmark at its inception.

As with any colonial war, the imperialist aggressor will keep wasting lives and resources until it belatedly reaches the conclusion that the cost of the war is too high. This can take a while because of the pigheadedness of the leader(s) of the aggressor country.

The US War of Independence lasted from 1775 until a de facto ceasefire in 1781.

Portugal kept fighting wars in its African colonies 18 years after France and Britain began the process of decolonization on the continent. It took the democratic revolution of 1974 in Portugal, with its overthrow of a quasi-fascist régime, to bring the troops home from the now former colonies.

So nobody should expect a quick and easy victory for Ukraine against the former colonial power which is foolishly attempting to subjugate it once again. Driving up the price which Russia has to pay for this geopolitical mistake is the most reliable way to bring this war to an end.

I love my neighbor's ducks. Is it just me or do muscovys look like their dinosaur ancestors?

doing the lord's work

when i was 9 i was banned from editing the muscovy duck wikipedia page because i kept editing any mention of the flavor of their meat to say things like “they taste like dirty dishwater” because i had pet muscovy ducks and couldn’t bear the thought of them being eaten, so i tried to run a smear campaign on duck meat
