Notes from the Russia-Former Soviet Union desk -- UPDATED
1) Apparently the summary we have been getting/reposting from korrespondent.net on the Ukrainian side of matters, are no more. The entire series has just disappeared from korrespondent.net's website.

So, it appears that rantburg.com is the sole keeper of those archives, for now. Dunno if this is a permanent feature or a screw up on their end. We will just have to wait to see

They're back
2) I have been spelling the Donetsk village of Avdvievka (Авдиевка) for years now, until the moment I saw a Russian road crew put up a road sign which was spelled Avdveevka (Авдеевка). So, from now on the Avdveevka (Авдеевка) will be the correct spelling.
Thank you for keeping us informed, badanov. In all senses.

#2  ^ It is worse than that. Not only do they have a weird alphabet, but they have a different word for almost everything.

#3  Well Russian is kinda based on the Greek alphabet as I understand it.

So I cab honestly say that Russian is all Greek to me...

People are questioning whether Biden actually resigned or was the victim of a coup
[American Thinker] For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation. More than anything, this reveals how the Biden administration has destroyed all trust in the government.

To catch you up on things, Biden put out two separate tweets. The first, at 1:46 p.m. Eastern Time, announced his resignation:
Some people "question" what happened. Other people know what happened.

#1  The Project became too lucrative. Biden became a serious 'control problem.' When he and Jill refused to leave, actions had to be taken. The Project was terminated and is now undergoing re-naming along with new asset assignments.

The usual final payments and bonuses, legal protections, and non-disclusure agreements will apply.

#2  They distracted him. It was national ice cream day. "Hey, sign this proclamation and get some ice cream."

#3 

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America as run by the Liberals, Socialists and Democrats (LSD's).

Biden came to power by an LSD Voter Fraud Coup. So, it is only Karma that another Coup would take him out.

#4  Is it a coup when you just switch puppets?

#6  Until such a time Biden addresses the nation personally, it's a coup.

#7  Biden probably won't, unlike Lyndon, address the nation.

#11  Does anyone believe Biden could actually sit down and write that letter announcing he is not running for reelection? The man has trouble standing.

The War Is on. Clinton's for Kamel, Obammer, not too much
[Gnews -GatewayPundit] Right on Cue: Clintons Endorse Kamala Harris After Joe Biden Drops Out of 2024 Race

"Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it," The Clintons said.

Barack Obama Releases Statement On Joe Biden Dropping Out, Notably Doesn’t Endorse Kamala Harris

Former President Barack Obama has released an official statement regarding Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

In a lengthy statement published on Medium, Obama praised Biden and noted that Biden had dropped out because of his "love" for the country.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Here’s my full statement: https://t.co/Bs2ZumFXxe

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 21, 2024

Well that didn't take long.
They are awfully efficient. I’m looking forward to reading all the arguments from both parties about why the other is so awful and unfit for the presidency.

#2 
So who will run the White if the (D's) rig another win? Hillary, Obama, or a Soros Partnership?
Posted by: NN2N1 || 07/22/2024 5:34 Comments || Top||

#3  /\ Yes! First black man's 4th 'shadow' presidential term. Case officer John Brennan has the specific details.
Posted by: Besoeker || 07/22/2024 7:17 Comments || Top||

#4  Baraq is right about one thing. Biden has indeed been consequential.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 07/22/2024 12:06 Comments || Top||

#5  ...heh.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 07/22/2024 12:13 Comments || Top||

#6  The last minute endorsement of Kamala by (Dr. Jill) Biden was to thwart the Light-bringer's plan for a simple Open Convention. The levels of personal animosity will crack open the black books far deeper than anyone wished, especially if the Clinton's add their extensive personal library to the mix.

The unknowns are what foreign adversary bookmobiles might show up to add to the collections and on which side, and what they may do in the South China Sea if they think Trump will be showing up to actually governing in January.

#2 
IF the Deep State allows Trump to take office after his election win. Then, those that ran, or were involved in the Biden White House Shadow Government operation, must be exposed and brought to trial for Treason & Subversion.

#3  So, don't bother to tell him. It's easier that way.
He can stay in the basement and Hunter can bring him 'situation reports', and Jill can serve ice cream.
At this point the press would rather not talk about it, so they'll be happy to play pretendaprez.
