What kind of entertainment do you think being provided for Russian troops amassed at the border for some time now and may be becoming bored?

It's wintertime, very chill freezing cold and they didn't bring their skates or ski equipment to have any fun with.

    Building ice forts, snowmen and having snowball fights.

    Maybe for entertainment they taunt the Ukrainian people by shouting out things like - hey is that a perogie in your pocket or are you just glad to see us. Cheers!

    Maybe just allow them (and the rest  of the world's humans, damn it) to listen to 

    Roger Waters' "The Tide Is Turning" (after LiveAid)

    This song is SO gorgeous to me  -- that ending!! With the men's chorus!



    This song could change the world for the better if people would just listen -- as someone once said, "Can't we all just get along?" 

    You know what? My parents lived/live that way. My siblings do - - I try to, too. Seems impossible for some to do it, though, I guess.

    (In the song lyrics, from what I read, the Stallone reference is in Morse code)



    I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night

In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest

Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West

This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed

To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy

I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning Sylvester
The tide is turning
"That's it!
Now the past is over but you are not alone

Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
Of macho bullshit and mediocrity"

    Do you mean, "What kind of entertainment is being provided for Russian troops at the border?" There you go, 16 words and a crisp, clear post in place of 25 words best described as gobbledygook.

    It's not an effective style when what you are trying to say is not clear.

    The skis are all at the Norway - USSR ... oops!  "Russia" ... border.

    I have it on good authority that they are watching reruns of Three Stooges movies.
    Except the films have been edited to use the faces of Joe Biden, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Boris Johnson.
