Tell us something we don't already know
Snowball fight has Sauron rattled.
But this scenario includes Russian attacking the likes of Germany and Poland in a preemptive strike and then invading the likes of Lithuania and threatening Germany, Poland and NATO not to defend or retaliate because of..... (Checks notes...) Nukes.... Oh dear God, we're back to the nuke threat again.
NATO forces in the Baltic states so Putin isn't invading or nuking any of them or the Finn's, Dane's or Sweden
Nothing we didn't already know unfortunately,
This is the biggest concern,he's down but by no means out,
But I did see the a Chinese Media outlet putting down the notion of the Russian kinzhals being nothing but a 1980s rocket and not a modern hypersonic weapon , very unusual coming from Chinese state media rubbish there closest allie weapons
It's a little unrealistic.
A preemptive attack on critical infrastructure in European NATO countries..... That the same NATO countries won't defend against and won't retaliate to? Seems a little whacky assumption. The same for the nuclear umbrella threat, we've seen Russian claim Ukrainian territory as it's own and even with all the Ukrainian attacks, zero nuclear attacks on Ukraine. Same for attacks conducted within Russia, zero nuclear response.
The author is looking at the Wests lack of resolve to give Ukraine what it needs to finish the war and assumes the same would happen if a NATO country was directly attacked?
Maybe the author hasn't read about how things are going for Russia in Ukraine and just how far behind schedule their 3 day war is!
And a cornered rat at that. The most dangerous rat of all.. will be interesting to see who emerges as King Rat when all this is finished.
Literal translation is "[In regards to the negotiations, this is] the attempt to push towards/force us to give up those military gains that we have realised in the last 1.5 years". Putin talks in stilted, bureaucratic Russian. He really is not a charismatic leader, more like a dangerous rat.
snowball fight!!!
Deleted, Valeyard had already posted the same article. But these protests ar, regardless of the cause, are what causes Putin and his cronies their worst nightmares. Maybe next time, the protesters will dome in bigger nrs, and prepared to fight?.
More from Putin Russia, frozen or Boiled?

Discontent is rising
I'd say that it's meant as a kind of moral booster too. The word "Conquer" implies a win, so could it mean that Putin now knows that his war in Ukraine is a lost cause, and he's preparing his audience for an end? As in" Look, we have won!!! Hurrah."
It could still have been the Ukrainian's who brought them down (don't ask me how) but the Russians don't want it proved that Ukraine now has the capabilities to down planes at that range, and especially ones that had so much surveillance capabilities that it was thought that they were impossible to shoot down. Better for them propaganda wise to claim that it was friendly fire.
Rostov is smoking
If that wasn't a translation error, that's some wording though: Putin said "conquered". Not "liberated", or "de-nazified" or anything that suggests a positive net difference for Ukraine. No: Russia conquered lands. Not that he cares anymore but it'll make the argument that they're sovereign russian lands a little trickier.
At least 15 lost and not including the injuries on the second plane , at this rate they will be advertising on employment websites
I'd also argue the loss of the crew is even more or just as important. I'd say those lads are not easy to replace. Probably specialised.
He really doesn't see he's done wrong,
Another planet
Putins view on Ukraine..

It would be a nice kill ,but it's gone that's all that matters now ,it looks like they have lost of intelligence gathering equipment which they won't be able to replace anytime soon
Shame if it is friendly fire,, they'd be a lot lot less keen on using them if they thought the Ukrainians could bring them down ,
I did read or hear that the russians were bringing them in closer to Ukraine as the Ukrainians were jamming them from a distance , and theyre running low on ground based radar
Looking even less likely , they claimed to have found the pilots body in Berdyans'k which meant the aircraft was over Ukraine proper when it was brought down,but they haven't shown any of the wreckage,but they claimed it was shot down over the water, various sources are now saying three Aircraft came under fire close to the Kerch bridge the third aircraft was a Russian fighter jet , the A50 was definitely downed but it's more than likely friendly fire from the Russians
