Given their approach to war I'd genuinely be questioning if it was accidental or purposeful.

Word on the wire is that somebody somewhere American has confirmed that two IL-76s packed with paratroopers were, indeed, shot down. Russia really is still pushing the airdrops and has landed dudes south of Kyiv (?).

The mayor of Kyiv is also staying to fight. He's a retired professional boxer who held the WBC heavyweight title for five years, and only relinquished it because he wanted to run for mayor of Kyiv.

e: 41-2 record, only losses were one RTD and one TKO. No "real" knockouts. God drat.

His brother, also a boxer and a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, is also also Hayden Panettiere's babydaddy.

They both look exactly what you'd expect an Eastern European boxer-turned-politician to look like.

Would the crews have dropped in thermite before abandoning those vehicles? Otherwise have assumed they’d stay with them until a tow arrives, even if Ukraine couldn’t drive them off gotta be some valuable stuff worth ransacking.

Depends on how much the crews give a poo poo, really. It's even possible they deliberately stranded it and walked away like more heavily-armed Antonio Browns.

Note that Abe is no longer Prime Minister, so it's basically just some dude's opinion. This doesn't seem too out of line for Abe, though - he tried really hard for years to change the Japanese constitution to remove Article 9, the one that renounces Japan's right to wage war. I don't keep up with Japanese politics that much since I don't have the right to vote here, but he's always seemed very hawkish to me.

I don't really follow Japanese politics either but there's got to be quite a difference between trying to remove Article 9 and explicitly saying "yeah, let's let the US base nukes in Japan."
