In the mid-90s as a LTC, I was on an official trip to Moscow. Saw where a tank round had fired into a government building during the uprising. Russian tanks on the streets now…at least we know they can hit a target the size of a building. https://t.co/oPcLHBTpdL

Putin's new Ferris wheel "broke down several times and people hung at a height of 140 m." https://t.co/8J2KURoViC
