There are reports that Putin's Russia is planning a massive disruption in order to derail the peace talks.

Putin's latest ploy is to accuse Ukraine of attacking Putin's dacha at Valdai which is in between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Of course Russia has offered no credible evidence of such an attack. Even the Trump administration rejected this accusation.

The Russian "disruption" might be portrayed by Moscow as a response to the nonexistent attack at Valdai. Gen. Wesley Clark, former supreme commander of NATO, pointed out that Valdai is Putin's summer residence. In the Northern Hemisphere, including Russia, we're in the middle of winter. Russia's efforts at disinformation are obviously in serious decline. Of course this won't stop Putin from concocting even more second-rate bullshit.

Putin is increasingly frustrated by his failure to capture Ukraine. His "3-Day Special Operation" is now into Day 1,409. Putin is seriously behind schedule. In about 10 days, Putin's war will become longer than Stalin's war with Hitler.

His tiny gains of Ukrainian territory over the past year have cost tens of thousands of lives of his troops in suicidal "meat wave" attacks against better Ukrainian forces. His oil refining and exporting facilities are increasingly in ruins and his shadow fleet of oil tankers is being thrown into disarray. In short, Putin is a LOSER.

So Putin is growing increasingly desperate to keep his obsession with conquering Ukraine alive.

In addition to Gen. Clark, CNN in the vid above spoke with former Ambassador William Taylor and Ret. Col. Cedric Leighton (US Air Force).

discovered this little crevice in my dream a few weeks ago. I like how it looks like a little passageway. This and a few other images I have are much older than the first ones I shared. I decided I should share them here 'cause it's interesting to see how many different ways the mountains form.

Nightopians really like hanging out on the side of the mountain for some reason.

A good look at the trees. I always assumed these trees come from Helen's dream, the crystal castle one. I could possibly be wrong though, but if i recall correctly, crystal castle is the only dream I can think of that has trees like this. The bark sorta reminds me of different colored crystals or something similar to what crystal castle has in its stage design/aesthetic. could be wrong, and they could possibly be just random trees for my dream though. lol. Just in case though, I do play Helen's dream, mostly that dream in particular often next to will's desert and mountain dreams.

also, two little bonus pics of the nightopians and what my dream looked like when it snows. Interestngly enough, the mountains look a little different during winter weather. maybe it's to give it the look as if it's covered in ice? I guess that makes sense. I always saw the other mountains with a sand and gravel-like design to them. They kinda remind me of desert mountains, but I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be valley mountains. *insert thinking emoji here*

I like how the nightopians like to hang out next to these mountains a lot. lol.

also, if anyone has any idea as to how to get that one harp medal/badge let me know. I'm sorta thinking that maybe you have to play the forest of memory dream in helen's campaign for lots and lots of hours, but this is just me making a wild guess since that dreams theme is heavily related to music. love the design for that dream though. i like the little windows on the trees and the tulips, and the way it looks when you turn the dials.

unless you get the badge from the nightopians. i think they also play instruments sometimes? i haven't seen this when playing the game myself, but I have seen pictures of it floating around the internet. I think they will sometimes play the violin? maybe it depends on what time of the year it is probably. im not sure if they can play instruments though. I have been playing this game since around the time or a bit after its release, but I was like 9 or 10 or so when it first came out, and I wasn't very good at the game and didn't know how to play it, so i didn't play my dream long enough to notice that the pians do different things depending on what season it is. my brothers and I also rented the game from gamefly back then through mail, so we only had about a month i think to play it 'til we had to return it. lol.

luckily, due to me remembering how much fun I had with it back when i was younger, I decided to get it again. got back into NiGHTS thanks to me remembering this game and wanting to play it again.
