Wow!! Didn't see that video coming... So sorry to the families and loved ones of those men in this video. I just watched a video on another site of spoiled college kids who said they hate this country. I then turn to this story and I think damn these men gave so much so that those kids have the freedom to spout their hate. Don't get me started.....

A Russian diplomat who has been squatting on land near Parliament House in Canberra has suddenly left - after the nation lost its last ditch legal bid to hold onto the site. the mystery man who has been living on the site stormed out and into a waiting car, before speeding off.
The High Court of Australia threw out attempts by Russian officials to grant an injunction against recent federal laws which terminated the Russian Federation's lease on the embassy site.
Laws terminating the lease of the diplomatic land were passed through parliament earlier this month, citing national security risks.
The Russian diplomat has since been seen living in a shed on the site where the country was blocked from building an embassy.

This whole deal going on in Russia sounds like the plot for the movie "Crimson Tide".
Sergey Sanovich, Hoover Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, who specializes in disinformation and autocracies, said Putin had never looked so weak. He said needing Belarus's dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, to negotiate with Prigozhin on his behalf was a sign of how enfeebled he was. 'Prigozhin makes a daring move and gets away with it, potentially with additional gains to come,' said Sanovich. 'Lukashenko saves the day. Putin reduced to a bystander, complaining on TV and letting his top generals be humiliated. 'Never in a quarter century Putin looked so ineffectual and hapless.'
Activists and drag queens taking part in a march through Manhattan on Friday were heard chanting: 'We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.'

Here is a close up of Ronalds vital sign monitor, the one the nurses aid disregard, and which once they cleared the room of his body they left his BP and pulse (just before death) up on the monitor as a never reported vital sign. A Marine died here, at my feet, while I watched, and documented it.
May Ronald rest in PEACE, I knew him for only about 18 hours, but when he died, he was not alone, and he knew I was there, as all of us must be for one another.
See my prior post.......

You This is the bed of my dead roommate, after they rolled his body out and rolled another bed back in. The vitals monitor shows the last vital signs, taken mere minutes before his death on the other side of the room. his bBP was 89/53 and his pulse rate 139 and nobody did anything about it (at all) and in ten minutes he slumped over and died. I caught a look at him, and saw he was "blue" and not breathing, so I hit the "code blue" alarm and it did nothing as it was non-functional so I hit my bed nurse call button and told her my roommate was code blue, not responding, not breathing, and I instructed her to call a Code Blue, and she did not do so.
Instead for 3.5 minutes she and a nurses aid fucked around with him, so at the end of the 3.5 minutes I bellowed out the required verbal alarm, inters and medical students rushed in, followed minutes later by attending. They could find the "code cart" and when they brought it to the room in was lacking three key injectables, so someone had to sprint down to another until to get a different code cart (fucking amateur hour). The did try to "bag" the patient with a BVM, but there were missing parts, they also installed no nasal, oral, or surgical airways (on a non breathing, unresponsive). The forgot to also turn on the oxygen valve, to said BVM and to the NRB, an error that was not corrected until 7 minutes into the code. At the 11 minute mark the new code cart arrived, which was also missing the required injectable, out of a sealed code car. The defies they brought in (bth of them) had dead batteries. The third said he had a shockable rhythm (yeah, I guess so) but it did not have enough battery to administer the jolt. No ACLS drugs were administers, as their front drugs were missing from the code cart.
This was my view for the entire disaster. About an hour prior the cardiac ultrasound crew was over there doing the ultrasound, and I could tell for the sound that his mitral valve was about to explode, and I could tell his aorta was about finder, and the tricuspid valve was badly leaking.
The poor fellow was a Marine, who just just been discharged form the same unit, after two open heart surgery to install the valve that at now explored and where starting his heart form working. An hour before they were in our room trying to transfer him to the Cardiac Intense Care Unit, but it was unlikely the CICU could have given him more that a few hours of life... instead the attending decided to get ultrasound to visit, and then the attending just walked away, basically to let the old Marine die at my feet due to his unwillingness to push through the CICU transfer (from an hour prior).
Once they reached the 30 minutes after I called the code, they called his death, put a NRB on him, and came in to set up the draped bed to roll him down to the morgue.
I wrote down every event that happened, as it happened, and wrote down the times at which happened.
I watched the entire incident as you see here, and may have accidentally recorded in on my Galaxy tablet by accident, and the video sent to the VA OIG for investigation. The attending has a copy of the video, and my notes.
After the event, I waited for calm to settle somewhat and required the attending and the charge nurse come see me together. I asked them to close my door, and I got out my wallet and showed then I ACLS Instructors credentials, and my Paramedic ACLS credentials, and some related credentials, and told them that which the patient was the dead man either way, that they staff was one of the most fucked up group of healthcare clowns I had seem (as an instructor of ACLS) in a very long time. The Charge Nurse tried to argue with me, so I told her to shut-fuck-up and to not interrupt me until I was finished speaking, and grading her team, all of which need to have their ACLS credentials revoked (which they were, the next day). The attending was keen to learn just how much shit he was in, after he found out I teach this topic, and I pointed out the dying patient was not on telemetry, and they only did a 12-lead EKG when he was just admitted to the floor, and that he had verbally told them that he was "Full Code" when I was in the room. I again pointed out the lack of EKG equipment anythere near him.
His name was "Ronald" and he was a Marine, and he died at my feet on the other side of my room. I was unable to use my foot, so I spoke p and called the code (on a dead man), and watched in horror at the fucking morons who responded before and after I called code. Totally fuck up with equipment (in a cardiac unit), total fuck up with the doe carts getting pilfered, and total fucked with two defibs being stone death, and the third only being partially charges. Total fuck up with the medical students who were just there to gawk and "file another notch" with death gawking, but who stood and did nothing.
Nobody found a functional BVM, nobody installed an airway device, and while he went form defibrillator to asystole at my feet, at was all extremely sloppy performance.
I would note that professionally I have been though over 400 terminal codes, and in about 200 of these I worked the code either in the street, on inside a hospital trauma unit. While I am crippled as fuck at present, I still teach AND EVALUATE teams several times per month and this teams was a total shit show in the fullness of that description.
I met with the Chief of Medicine afterwards (of the entire hospital), and once I get back to where I am healed enough to travel, I will be a surprise speaker at the VA M&M rounds in 2 to 3 weeks.
I have an app on my phone that will identify any other phone within 12 feet of me, and do things that lawfully acquires that other persons name, phone number, ESN, MEIN and other lawful data. With this information I I matched their face to their respective Facebook pages, confirmed the person was in the room (and in video I accidentally made. ) As an instructor, and certifying instructor I logged int my AHA portal and canceling thier AHA ACLS and other AHA credentials. I cancelled thier ACLS credentials right form my hospital bed, and explain to the Chief of Medicine what I did, and they stated that they understood why I did it, a nd they he woudl bring on other people to cover the remainder of those employees shift, and he relived them of duties until full rectified.
The Chief of Medicine asked me to bring the VA OIG into the loop on this, and I explain that the VA OIG already had the video and my notes, to include the credentials I revoke, and that I spoke to the VA OIG before I spoke to anybody else about the epic fuck-ups.
Ronald would not have lived more than a few hour, and he managed to blow out his transplanted/repaired valves, and he was circulating-the-drain when they rolled him in. I do make it a point to talk to my room mates when they first arrive, to form a bond with them, for them to know they are not alone, and he was not, I was there, quietly taking note, and quietly praying.
There biggest error was them doing all of this while an ACLS Instrutor was laying in the bed on the other side of the room, eating his (what passes for food in the hospital) meal, and quietly taking written notes in the moment as everything happened. It was an impromptu performance evaluation I was not expecting to do.

Wagner has now shot down three Russian Choppers who tried to attack them. Moscow is pretty much under Martial Law. The Moscow Governor has told locals to stay off the M4 highway as it is about to become a battleground. Thousands of Russians are fleeing the capital. The M4 is like the I95 and theres no side roads. Putin is hiding but expected to make a statement after dawn. All public events have been cancelled.

Wagner storms Rostov-on-Don and tanks set up blockade: Prigozhin vows to march on Moscow to take out 'evil' military top brass as Putin says he's inciting CIVIL WAR and Kremlin charges him with armed mutiny Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday declared that his 25,000-strong force is marching into Rostov-on-Don, and is 'unopposed' Video shared on social media appeared to show troops entering the Interior Ministry building, and tanks and troops on the streets: it is unclear on which side Prigozhin made the move in fury at what he claimed was Moscow's attack on his men, and said he intends to march to Moscow to take on defense chiefs
I means Wagner has exited Ukraine and is invading Russian Territory.
I really think this is it. We wait to see how Putin reacts or if he runs.
If the ordinary Russian Soldier thinks he is better off with Wagner they will all Mutiny.
Its all because of a friendly fire incident that killed 200 of Wagner Men.

Sorry about your friends Don, you made an excellent presentation, thanks for sharing.

Im sober now, I still don't have any friends or money but I'm straight and a happier person. There are a lot of men in my family that can successfully drink, I just ain't one of them. Alcohol exacerbates my personality and I'm an asshole before I start drinking so............

Sergey Sanovich, Hoover Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, who specializes in disinformation and autocracies, said Putin had never looked so weak. He said needing Belarus's dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, to negotiate with Prigozhin on his behalf was a sign of how enfeebled he was. 'Prigozhin makes a daring move and gets away with it, potentially with additional gains to come,' said Sanovich. 'Lukashenko saves the day. Putin reduced to a bystander, complaining on TV and letting his top generals be humiliated. 'Never in a quarter century Putin looked so ineffectual and hapless.'

Here is a close up of Ronalds vital sign monitor, the one the nurses aid disregard, and which once they cleared the room of his body they left his BP and pulse (just before death) up on the monitor as a never reported vital sign.
A Marine died here, at my feet, while I watched, and documented it.
May Ronald rest in PEACE, I knew him for only about 18 hours, but when he died, he was not alone, and he knew I was there, as all of us must be for one another.
See my prior post.......

You This is the bed of my dead roommate, after they rolled his body out and rolled another bed back in. The vitals monitor shows the last vital signs, taken mere minutes before his death on the other side of the room. his bBP was 89/53 and his pulse rate 139 and nobody did anything about it (at all) and in ten minutes he slumped over and died. I caught a look at him, and saw he was "blue" and not breathing, so I hit the "code blue" alarm and it did nothing as it was non-functional so I hit my bed nurse call button and told her my roommate was code blue, not responding, not breathing, and I instructed her to call a Code Blue, and she did not do so.
Instead for 3.5 minutes she and a nurses aid fucked around with him, so at the end of the 3.5 minutes I bellowed out the required verbal alarm, inters and medical students rushed in, followed minutes later by attending. They could find the "code cart" and when they brought it to the room in was lacking three key injectables, so someone had to sprint down to another until to get a different code cart (fucking amateur hour). The did try to "bag" the patient with a BVM, but there were missing parts, they also installed no nasal, oral, or surgical airways (on a non breathing, unresponsive). The forgot to also turn on the oxygen valve, to said BVM and to the NRB, an error that was not corrected until 7 minutes into the code. At the 11 minute mark the new code cart arrived, which was also missing the required injectable, out of a sealed code car. The defies they brought in (bth of them) had dead batteries. The third said he had a shockable rhythm (yeah, I guess so) but it did not have enough battery to administer the jolt. No ACLS drugs were administers, as their front drugs were missing from the code cart.
This was my view for the entire disaster. About an hour prior the cardiac ultrasound crew was over there doing the ultrasound, and I could tell for the sound that his mitral valve was about to explode, and I could tell his aorta was about finder, and the tricuspid valve was badly leaking.
The poor fellow was a Marine, who just just been discharged form the same unit, after two open heart surgery to install the valve that at now explored and where starting his heart form working. An hour before they were in our room trying to transfer him to the Cardiac Intense Care Unit, but it was unlikely the CICU could have given him more that a few hours of life... instead the attending decided to get ultrasound to visit, and then the attending just walked away, basically to let the old Marine die at my feet due to his unwillingness to push through the CICU transfer (from an hour prior).
Once they reached the 30 minutes after I called the code, they called his death, put a NRB on him, and came in to set up the draped bed to roll him down to the morgue.
I wrote down every event that happened, as it happened, and wrote down the times at which happened.
I watched the entire incident as you see here, and may have accidentally recorded in on my Galaxy tablet by accident, and the video sent to the VA OIG for investigation. The attending has a copy of the video, and my notes.
After the event, I waited for calm to settle somewhat and required the attending and the charge nurse come see me together. I asked them to close my door, and I got out my wallet and showed then I ACLS Instructors credentials, and my Paramedic ACLS credentials, and some related credentials, and told them that which the patient was the dead man either way, that they staff was one of the most fucked up group of healthcare clowns I had seem (as an instructor of ACLS) in a very long time. The Charge Nurse tried to argue with me, so I told her to shut-fuck-up and to not interrupt me until I was finished speaking, and grading her team, all of which need to have their ACLS credentials revoked (which they were, the next day). The attending was keen to learn just how much shit he was in, after he found out I teach this topic, and I pointed out the dying patient was not on telemetry, and they only did a 12-lead EKG when he was just admitted to the floor, and that he had verbally told them that he was "Full Code" when I was in the room. I again pointed out the lack of EKG equipment anythere near him.
His name was "Ronald" and he was a Marine, and he died at my feet on the other side of my room. I was unable to use my foot, so I spoke p and called the code (on a dead man), and watched in horror at the fucking morons who responded before and after I called code. Totally fuck up with equipment (in a cardiac unit), total fuck up with the doe carts getting pilfered, and total fucked with two defibs being stone death, and the third only being partially charges. Total fuck up with the medical students who were just there to gawk and "file another notch" with death gawking, but who stood and did nothing.
Nobody found a functional BVM, nobody installed an airway device, and while he went form defibrillator to asystole at my feet, at was all extremely sloppy performance.
I would note that professionally I have been though over 400 terminal codes, and in about 200 of these I worked the code either in the street, on inside a hospital trauma unit. While I am crippled as fuck at present, I still teach AND EVALUATE teams several times per month and this teams was a total shit show in the fullness of that description.
I met with the Chief of Medicine afterwards (of the entire hospital), and once I get back to where I am healed enough to travel, I will be a surprise speaker at the VA M&M rounds in 2 to 3 weeks.
I have an app on my phone that will identify any other phone within 12 feet of me, and do things that lawfully acquires that other persons name, phone number, ESN, MEIN and other lawful data. With this information I I matched their face to their respective Facebook pages, confirmed the person was in the room (and in video I accidentally made. ) As an instructor, and certifying instructor I logged int my AHA portal and canceling thier AHA ACLS and other AHA credentials. I cancelled thier ACLS credentials right form my hospital bed, and explain to the Chief of Medicine what I did, and they stated that they understood why I did it, a nd they he woudl bring on other people to cover the remainder of those employees shift, and he relived them of duties until full rectified.
The Chief of Medicine asked me to bring the VA OIG into the loop on this, and I explain that the VA OIG already had the video and my notes, to include the credentials I revoke, and that I spoke to the VA OIG before I spoke to anybody else about the epic fuck-ups.
Ronald would not have lived more than a few hour, and he managed to blow out his transplanted/repaired valves, and he was circulating-the-drain when they rolled him in. I do make it a point to talk to my room mates when they first arrive, to form a bond with them, for them to know they are not alone, and he was not, I was there, quietly taking note, and quietly praying.
There biggest error was them doing all of this while an ACLS Instrutor was laying in the bed on the other side of the room, eating his (what passes for food in the hospital) meal, and quietly taking written notes in the moment as everything happened. It was an impromptu performance evaluation I was not expecting to do.

Wagner has now shot down three Russian Choppers who tried to attack them. Moscow is pretty much under Martial Law. The Moscow Governor has told locals to stay off the M4 highway as it is about to become a battleground. Thousands of Russians are fleeing the capital. The M4 is like the I95 and theres no side roads. Putin is hiding but expected to make a statement after dawn. All public events have been cancelled.

Wagner storms Rostov-on-Don and tanks set up blockade: Prigozhin vows to march on Moscow to take out 'evil' military top brass as Putin says he's inciting CIVIL WAR and Kremlin charges him with armed mutiny
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday declared that his 25,000-strong force is marching into Rostov-on-Don, and is 'unopposed'
Video shared on social media appeared to show troops entering the Interior Ministry building, and tanks and troops on the streets: it is unclear on which side
Prigozhin made the move in fury at what he claimed was Moscow's attack on his men, and said he intends to march to Moscow to take on defense chiefs
I means Wagner has exited Ukraine and is invading Russian Territory.
I really think this is it. We wait to see how Putin reacts or if he runs.
If the ordinary Russian Soldier thinks he is better off with Wagner they will all Mutiny.
Its all because of a friendly fire incident that killed 200 of Wagner Men.
