1. Not really front-page news, but Colonel Vadim Boyko (Russian Navy)....number two guy at the Russian Pacific Fleet Naval Academy....was found dead in his office, dead from gunshots (plural) wounds.
So here's the thing....he was one of the key people brought in to organize the mobilization episode in Russia. You can say it was a success or failure, but at least it was a plan.
Here's the other thing.....Four pistols were found there on the table in the office....the belief is that he fired five rounds into his chest....alone (suicide). At least, that's what the police are going to sign off on. In the Columbo world....this would have been a six-hour murder mystery.
2. On the Maischberger public forum show (last night), one of the guests (CDU Party guy) talked up on the 'Last Generation' activist protest theme, and compared them to soccer hooligans.
If you went back twenty years ago, soccer hooligans were a big deal and they drifted around for several years as a major threat at various games in Germany. He might have a valid point on his suggestion. They do suck up tons of police and rescue service man-hours.
3. There is some debate still going on about the upcoming 49-Euro Bahn/Bus ticket....to start selling in January of 2023. The chief issue? Well....for the various companies who provide public transportation....they need compensation. It's not clear about the feds or the states....giving the money to make up for losses.
