It appears the fatality in the training accident from yesterday was the commander of the air base. A senior flight instructor who was also in the plane ended up in hospital badly injured.

Yes. Pretty much saying that "its up to Putin to decide if he wants to do this song and dance number or not" referring to if they are having an election to elect Putin or not.

They were also complaining about how much money it would cost to organize even a sham election.

It's honestly been surprising to what efforts he went to to bother to pretend he wasn't just a dictator. Is his rule that tenuous?

Because reinforcing their marks' pre-existing assertions is the only move they have. Where the stupid go, they follow, and they have no agency on the matter whatsoever.

There's a vid with a half dozen or more supply trucks completely taken out by a HIMARS tungsten strike. I'd link it but near the end there's some blood (or some other fluid but to be safe) in a truck cab. Those strikes are so effective because just a couple pellets in the right spot can take a vehicle completely out of service.

By destroying native capabilities, does he mean Europe shelling out money to rearm itself and revitalize its defense industries? This fool, like others before him, only has the loss of his hopes to look forward to.

Nah, you're thinking of Tsar vs. the Forces of Evil. Show really jumped the shark when it transitioned from "Tsar is a fish out of water as a visitor in a strange land called Europe" to "Tsar enlists an unlikely pack of friends to grapple with the evils of his kingdom's past."

Why bother now? He's alienated anyone else I can think of who isn't also an authoritarian brute, so there's no need for geopolitical kayfabe anymore.

Another example of the Kremlin's "I know that you know and you know that I know you know but if you show that you know out a window you go."

Despite a recent statement by Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu that the task of the "special military operation" is to release Russian soldiers from Ukrainian captivity, not all Russian pows want to be exchanged: "Some prisoners ask the Ukrainian authorities to delay their exchange until after their military contracts have expired so that they are not compelled to fight again. A few ask not to be returned at all" - The Economist.

Looking forward to Putin being forced into hosting Dennis Rodman for a weekend at Kim's behest and having to drop whatever the russian translation to "juche" is into his speeches while he begs for their rotten crates of 1934 vintage ammo and bec-de-corbin polearms that russia somehow lost the know-how and industrial capacity to manufacture.

Ukraine and Russia will never, ever be brotherly neighbors again. It's hard to articulate the fraternal feeling of betrayal that layers many Ukrainians' feelings towards Russia. The fact that the two countries were so close, culturally and historically (yes even through the imperial oppression of the Russian Empire, many Ukrainians considered themselves to be siblings of a sort to the Russian person and vice versa), makes this war and invasion have destroyed any hope of that ever returning. Russia and Ukraine will never return to the pre-war dynamic and you're only going to see those differences grow as Ukraine continues to assert its own nationalism and culture and rejecting that which is Russian

Not to mention apparent widespread rejection of outcry that Ukrainian relatives gave to their Russian relatives. It was pretty disgusting. The break is permanent this time.

Threatened if not tortured. Russia has basically made torture their go to given the number of torture chambers being found by advancing Ukrainian forces.

They seems to be doing this a lot lately; this guy was dragged off the beach and made to apologize and praise Russia after filming air defense in action:

https://twitter.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/1690407041674747904

These are the kind of creepy "proof-of-life" videos you universally see from authoritarian regimes. No different from those other prepared statement videos, which are 100% natural and not made under duress whatsoever, that you see when some poverty-tourist is arrested in North Korea for "crimes against the regime", or someone in China makes an accusation of a party official and winds up disappeared to some remote village.
