Their ideologies share much of the the same fundamentals (extreme irrational prejudice, extreme authoritarianism and the use of threat, force and violence as political tools as a first choice), but Putin has command over far more military force and has far more power within his own country and that makes a huge diffference. At the moment.

I didn't fail to notice that. I assumed (and still assume) that you did it as a rhetorical device you could use in case anyone challenged your post. I don't think you genuinely believed or believe that two posts from one poster saying one thing are multiple posters saying something completely different.

Remember Joe saying Chemical weapons was a red line a few weeks back with a response "in kind" ? Guess we'll get to see if it was a bluff or not
On a tangent...where was the money coming from in the 1980s if it wasn't from sponsors? Genuine question - I don't know anything about the history of F1.
'To feign surprise and outrage is bizarre'
really??
With the horrors that are currently going on? I feel outrage too!
I actually am surprised YOU don't feel outrage.
I don't think so; I do expect Putin regards the likes of BLM and Extinction Rebellion as useful idiots.
As I recall tobacco companies were major sponsors.
Let's wait for anything concrete. We've already been warned about disinformation being used to discredit Western media sources.
'A 15-year-old Russian go-karter apologised for being "a fool' on Monday and denied any fascist sympathies after he appeared to make a Nazi salute on the podium at a race in Portugal last weekend.' — RTRS
"Standing on the podium I made a gesture that many perceived as a Nazi salute. This is not true. I have never supported Nazism and consider it one of the worst crimes against humanity."
"Severiukhin said he had "just wanted to make a gesture" to show gratitude and could not explain everything else that happened."
"I know that I am a fool and I'm ready to be punished but please believe that there was no intention in my actions, there was no support for Nazism or Fascism. There was no desire to offend spectators, fans, athletes or the team."

Not sure where it would be disinfo it's come from multiple Ukrainian sources including the Azov's own twitter, unless you mean Ukraine might be posing a false flag to blame Russia ?
And that's why you put REALLY?? at the end?

Very much so, the cars were virtually a single sponsorship and that was the cigarette company branding
Cars like the JPS actually looked really good IMO compared to current ones

Lots of heavy aircraft going into Rzeszów, Poland over the last few hours, I hope it's not too little to late
Still going on - lots of stuff being towed in as well. Looks like they aren't wasting time, at least not totally.
Looks like NATO is expecting something - some really close eyes on Moldova and Odesa region, were doing quite a lot of ISR over the Black Sea through the night and while not completely unusual Combat Sent missions in various places you don't often see them such as off the north of Russia.

Bernie Eccleston's wife is still a major shareholder in the F1 machine... I would imagine for tax reasons. The current FIA president is a very wealthy United Arab Emirates figure, one Mohammed Ahmed bin Sulayem. I am not sure if or how HE might offend your sensibilities
You are rid of Max Mosley as he committed suicide in May last year, at the age of 81, after being told he was terminally ill. The clandestinely filmed "orgy" he was alleged to have taken part in was said involve a Nazi theme, but this was incorrect, in reality the facts were:
Mosley was the son of 1930s British fascist leader Oswald Mosley.
In 2008 he won a privacy case against the News of the World newspaper after it printed photographs and published video of his involvement in a sadomasochistic sex session.
It was reported by the newspaper as a “sick Nazi orgy” but the judge found no evidence of Nazi themes in his judgment.
But you may wish to approach Manchester City Council to see if they will change the name of one of the city's main thoroughfares, Mosley Street, which was named after his father, "when the world was very different". Such pushes for change could become a life's work, if you are so inclined.
History will still cite Max Mosley as one of the longest running FIA presidents.
Losing Finland and Sweden will be a huge irritation for the Kremlin knowing that NATO can finally make an efficient threat in the Baltics, I hope also that a huge increase in troops into the Baltic states (2-4 divisions) is on the cards as a welcoming gift.
