Outrage - Really?

 It is amusing to me that we have headlines stating something like some foreign dictator doing what foreign dictator's do.  It's a bit like finding that there are groceries at the Supermarket and screaming outrage "How dare they sell all this stuff!"

I was looking at the news - I try not to but was too lazy to get up and walkaway when surprise surprise, Vladimir Putin hadn't agreed to a ceasefire or any other demands.  He'd moved a bit but everyone was surprised that he hadn't done what they'd expected him to do?  Has he ever done that?  A bit like our Ed Millipede telling the Chinese what to do or Starmer threatening Putin.  It's surely a time when you should quote those much loved (by me) words 

No Sh1t Sherlock!"


What's the outrage when you know full well what these people are like?  I like that the reporters stare directly into camera addressing you and report as if it is unusual behaviour.  I was too lazy because I'd fixed some PIR cupboard lighting and a close coupled WC with all new parts before I had my dinner!
