The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Russian retired general Leonid Ivashov, after Putin’s New Year address: "I saw neither a leader, nor a commander, nor a defender of the people. I saw only a man living in a fairy tale. The war with Ukraine could very well lead to the collapse of Russia."
If I were him, I'd stay away from Windows.

In the forest dark and deep, in the hush between awake and sleep, fairies dance within the dell, a place the old elves know so well. Something stirs among the trees, drifting forward like a breeze. The forest smiles in ancient tongue—love flows, and happiness is sung.
