    Will Russians follow where Putin is leading if an alternative appears?

            Major Moscow airport flights disrupted by drone attack

            Ukraine has launched a drone attack on Moscow, the Russian defence ministry says, forcing flights to be diverted from Vnukovo International Airport.
            Five drones were reportedly used in Tuesday's attack, which also targeted locations in the wider region around the capital.
            The defence ministry said all the drones were shot down and there were no casualties or damage.
            Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the alleged attack.
            Restrictions at Vnukovo airport, one of Moscow's three international airports, have now been lifted. Flights from Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were among those affected.
            According to the defence ministry, four of the drones flying in the Moscow region were shot down by air defence systems. A fifth was intercepted electronically before crashing.
            "An attempt by the Kyiv regime to attack a zone where civil infrastructure is located, including an airport that receives international flights, is a new terrorist act," foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.

            "A new terrorist act." My God, the actual balls...

                            Saw a story that Russia is preparing to mobilize another 500,000 troops.

                            Of course, "mobilized" ≠ "trained and combat-ready."

                              Maybe they're going to start training fat people, too. They're probably running out of criminal alcoholics at this point.

                                      Don’t know what to make of that.

                                      A few of days back there was a rumour, albeit unsubstantiated, that mutinous Wagner mercenaries were going to bomb the Kerch bridge. I suspect it was just that - a rumour being circulated in a couple of dubious Fleet Street tabloids.

                                        I’d look askance at that rumor, but maybe we can’t entirely count out the actions of disaffected troops, be they Wagner or Russian army.
