    I’m not sure how it could have been said any better. Let’s hope enough Russians get to view it.

    Arnie is a badass. Love that man. It's still hard to see him as an old man though. I grew up with him as really the main action star. Him and Sly. So many favorites from him. I probably watched Predator and Commando and Total Recall a million times as a kid. It sucks that we don't really have action stars anymore.

    I hope so. I think they still have Telegram in Russia, so they should be able to see it.

    It's so corny... and I still love it.

    Also, True Lies was such a good movie. The comedic timing was great.

    Putin allegedly orders arrest of top military chief

    Vladimir Putin allegedly ordered the arrest of military chief, General Roman Gavrilov, by the FSB security service

    As a conflict that Vladimir Putin reportedly believed would last only one week, continues in its 23rd day, the Russian leader has allegedly ordered the FSB security forces to arrests his military chief.

    It is being reported today, Thursday, March 17, that General Roman Gavrilov, has been detained. He was the deputy chief of one of the first units to enter Ukraine, the Rosgvardia, spearheading the whole ‘special operation’.

    No official reason has been confirmed for Gavrilov’s arrest, but a source in Moscow is rumoured to have said he had possibly been detained on a charge of “leaks of military information that led to the loss of life”.

    This would be a very serious offence of course, compared to an earlier source claiming that a quote from Bellincat’s Christo Grozev said he had been detained for “wasteful squandering of fuel”.

    The Rosgvardia is Putin’s Russian Federal National Guard Troops Service unit, which, according to the Russian news outlet, Pravda, has racked up a huge number of casualties so far in Ukraine.

    Russia has failed to confirm any exact figures, but according to the Kremlin, a low total of 498 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the conflict. US officials claim this number is nearer to 7,000, while officials in Ukraine put the figure at an estimated 13,500 dead Russian troops.

    Last week, according to reports in The Times, Putin arrested two of his top military intelligence officers. Head of the foreign intelligence branch of the FSB, Sergey Beseda, was detained, along with his deputy, Anatoly Bolyukh, and both men apparently placed under house arrest in Moscow.

    Kremlin officials allegedly claimed the two had been arrested for financial misconduct, but it is widely believed that the Russian President has made them scapegoats for the failure of his invasion so far. He has apparently blamed their intelligence reports prior to the incursion into Ukraine, for not revealing how strong the Ukrainian defence would be, as reported by dailystar.co.uk.

    The Bolshoi's leading prima ballerina, Olga Smirnova, quit the Bolshoi to protest invasion of Ukraine and joined Dutch National Ballet. Brava!
