karl, i have a hard time believing putin used the f word.. it is in here with regard to iran -usa treaty down towards the bottom... maybe the translation is whacky... he says some very potent things in this q and a... his commentary on the use of nuclear weapons, on the alternative party in germany, the canucks saluting the nazi in parliament and etc. etc - all very potent and bang on... it was worth it reading this, especially the last half... thanks for the pictures at the end too, but i didn't look at them.. thanks for all your work here...

A great read Karl thank you - that is about the only time one can see VVP lose his cool somewhat, but that day he had already had three full days for anyone else, and the day was far from done as he remarks at the end

Despite this presser, very few remarks in the western press, either on the Presser or on the SPIEF

There a sensationally trivial article in Bloomberg, nothing on the Forum, but an article devoted to comment on how old VVP is and how his children are taking over

I noted your transcript in comments at Simplicius

Yeah, I didn't have anything else to say there since he only concentrated on one small component of what Putin said. Today's the plenary session at SPIEF where Putin usually provides an address plus Q&A, but the transcript's not finished yet. Crooke has a new column out where he takes apart Biden's latest goofball plan that I'll provide today.

I'm looking forward to more VVP in top form

It's hard to follow VVP through everything he says, it's intimidating, there's so much you do not know, so easier to break it into chunks

The Reuters lady, despite asking a question she knew VVP had already answered before, published nothing on the subject - but published how few Western companies were at the SPIEF as if she had not heard of sanctions

How often does one get to question a Head of State who will actually give you information you did not know in his reply? Why blow it?

Remember Putin's parting words to those presstitutes? You just cited the reason Reuters won't be invited again. Putin won't do the actual follow-up, but his staff will tell him the outcome.

No, I know nothing and have no direct line to him in Germany. Psychohistorian and I discussed his medical issues during our zoom chat yesterday and what might happen to MoA. Our speculations weren't positive, unfortunately. MoA is a unique place on the web. It could be duplicated as a substack as I've suggested, but the content would likely change to that of the new management's POV and investigative ability.
