It's that time of the year folks: Czar Putin goes on the airwaves to talk at his people and answer their many questions to the best of his knowledge. This on national TV; it's a custom developed to reduce criticism of his dictatorship. What do the voters want to know? About the death of Lt. Gen. Igor Krillov? No. About the Ukrainian "Special Operation"? No.
They want to know about the price of potatoes. That lowly tuber that the people eat. Hmmm. The price has doubled. Hmmmmm. What now, Vladdy? Seems the war economy has put lots of rubles into circulation(lots of widows benefits paid out). Too many rubles chasing shrinking numbers of tubers. What to do. Vladdy tells the caller that the Central Bank is not making good decisions(pass the buck/ruble).
This is Russya's version of the "Clown Show".
What happened to the Ukrainian journalist taken prisoner by Russyan army troops and incarcerated, where and when she died while a prisoner. How did this happen? That question didn't make the cut.
