Which one?

You’re Boris Johnson, I claim my £5 
I thought you had previously claimed to be Daddy Pig?
Haha. Yeah, that’s definitely me!
I doubt that was a mistake.
Yeah, really. Slovenia shut their airspace.
Russians considered it acceptable collateral damage in targeting something close by or deliberately targeted the Slovenian consulate?
During the first gulf war I remember a lot being made of scuds being taken out by patriot missiles and then, of course, the deployment of cruise missiles which just stunned me and my mates as to their manoeuvrability and precision.
Would patriot missile systems help Ukraine or is that now old tech?

How to deal with news of the war
If you woke up this morning, looked at the news, and felt increasingly worried about the war in Ukraine, you are not alone. After a two-year pandemic, it’s a lot to absorb, and experts agree that feeling overwhelmed is normal.
While it’s right to think first and foremost about the impact on those caught up in the conflict, it’s also completely normal to feel upset from afar by what we’re seeing in Ukraine, says Alex Bushill, from the mental health charity Mind.
“It’s very natural to be distressed by what we’re seeing, you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t,” he says.
This doesn’t always lead to anxiety, but the NHS and Anxiety UK agree on some key ways to avoid it: eat well, get outside, put your phone down, connect with people, rest.
These are all pretty basic pieces of advice, but when you’re stressed, they can be difficult to do consistently.
There must be a finite number of consulates in Kharkiv, from the countries that Russia is now angry with. The Slovenian one appears to face right on to Freedom Square, which must make it about as ideal a candidate as any of them. Easy to single out as a target, not much risk of taking out adjacent targets.
Just wondering if this does escalate somewhat to the worse case scenario, does anyone have any idea of what’s based in Kaliningrad ?
