How many western assets are still unseized in Russia? They already stole all the airplanes.
The funny part about that is that they were leasing the planes along with maintenance contracts. So they've got the planes, but every third one will need to be cannibalized for parts. Then it will be every other plane. Meanwhile, flying on Russian airlines will be more and more interesting as the planes are "engineered" to keep them flying.
Now, Russia has a robust aircraft industry. But just like every other Russian industry, it's kinda busy with other stuff. And flying isn't exactly an optional for moving across Russia's vast territory.
This is going to be a tragedy factory for decades.
And flying isn't exactly an optional
Except that it is. Most people take the train. From Moscow to Vladivostok in only 7 days.
I thought you'd say most people stay put and never leave the place they are born into. Would've been not too far from reality, too
I guess a lot. Not much has changed over there, except for a few companies that got hit by sanctions.
Between the "pulp fiction" attributation and the nazi forehead story the other day, I think Putin has been on a QT film marathon recently.
Russia already stole so many assets, is there anything left for them to steal?
Well worth it to watch Russia slowly die.
Isn't Hungry part of NATO and the EU? It's pretty sketchy that they're meeting up with Putin, no?
Summary says Zelenskyy

The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
