Funeral

 News of the week: Alexei Navalny's funeral. From Le Monde:

https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2024/03/01/a-moscou-alexei-navalny-traite-en-ennemi-jusque-dans-la-tombe_6219566_3210.html

He was - we are told by his team - on the verge of being exchanged for an intelligence

agent for Russia.


Not to make a joke of it; but if one were asked what a government run by its Intelligence

service would look like, this would be hard to beat!!

                                                               *     *     *


En contrepartie, I did read this week that tactical nukes are the weapons that

Russia might use for the level of confrontation for which the West has developed

more advance weapons systems that are not 'nukes'. 


Keeping the lid on would appear to be the height of prudence!!
