| Putin's invasion of Ukraine IS a flop: Erectile dysfunction pill sales surge in Russia – with young men of conscription age suffering extreme stress |

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The rise in use of such drugs comes despite a 'blow below the belt' to Putin with a February announcement that supplies of Viagra tablets were suspended to Russia. 'Viatris LLC informed us about the suspension of the supply of the Viagra drug in the dosage form of a tablet,' the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade said, reported Interfax. Yet this triggered a 50 per cent increase in sales of the potency-enhancing drug, said Chestny Znak. There was no chance of couples being let down by a lack of supplies. 'Available stocks are sufficient to meet the current level of demand for eight months,' explained state news agency TASS. 'During this time, suppliers of equivalent drugs can increase the volume of supplies and replace Viagra in Russian pharmacies with their products.' There are also signs that Viagra and other similar Western drugs are reaching Russia via other countries including Kazakhstan and China. The dictator himself is believed to favour another method of boosting potency, after being introduced to blood baths by his defence minister Sergei Shoigu, a Siberian native. Putin is reported to have fathered children with lover Alina Kabaeva, 39, in 2015 and 2019 - and some accounts say there are more children. Rather than a little blue pill, this method involves bathing in a bath of moral deer blood gathered when the animals' antlers are severed in Siberia. |

| #3 I find it curious the silence of western media concerning the hyper-sonic missiles used on specific targets in Ukraine. One missile hit a high level security underground bunker that was 400 feet underground destroying it. Concrete and other defensive protections employed but all failed. 200-300 killed mostly high level people including NATO advisers present. Z was supposed to be there but missed all the fun and games. Macron's trip to China perhaps related trying to get China to end the festivities as EU wants out. |

| #2 Putin's invasion There is the tell again. "Putin's *whatever*" It is straight Alinsky: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." And let's not forget #5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage." Say what you will about the DM, they're good at what they do. |

| #1 Story I heard is this brand was popular in Afghanistan as it increased the amount of oxygen in the blood. Don't know. |
