Russia Invades Ukraine pt XII

I think it's satire, but there's a lot of underlying truth there.
So what happens if another satellite country like Georgia or Azerbijan takes on a separatists movement toward a Kremlin friendly government? I don't see how Russia can deal with military conflict on 2 fronts. Which may be what is needed to break the camel's back.
A lot of pundits are forecasting exactly that...
When I'm feeling really naughty, if i were Joe Biden, I'd call Beijing and ask, "How much of Siberia would you like?"
This may be the off-ramp the Germans and the French have been looking for.
In my conversations with Ukrainians, however, they have been unanimous in their demands that Ukraine recover all the occupied lands, not just the territory occupied since Feb 2022. They demand that Russia evacuate Crimea and the Donbas as well. That is going to be difficult for the Russians to swallow. Anything less is going to be difficult for the Ukrainians to accept.

Uh-oh. Russia downs a US drone over international waters in the Black Sea...
That drone can be fitted with AIM-9X Block 2 air-to-air missiles. Maybe next time.
The Russians are saying it was flying dangerously close to Russian airspace, was "lethal" and took a sharp maneuver and ditched itself...
The ultimate humiliation for a fighter pilot - to be shot down by unmanned aircraft...
"Deniability" doesn't have to be plausible for Russians. After all, they shot down an airliner and responded with "Who? Us?"...
You can always tell when a russian is lying. Their mouth is moving.
Saw on the news that drone cost $56.5 Million!
This morning, the army said that there would be nothing to gain by the Russians to salvage the done. The software would have been ruined by the crash and subsequent immersion and there was nothing to learn from the hardware...Saw on the news that drone cost $56.5 Million!
Edit: Now they say they remotely wiped the software...

Nothing says "deniability" like trying to kill a Russia defector using a nerve agent that only the Russians have.
"Who, us?"
I looked at the footage of the collision on Twitter and have two comments:
1. The Russian pilot was trying to dump fuel on the Pred and miscalculated, and actually hit the Pred.
2. Twitter may be the dumbest place on this planet. People world wide go to Twitter to demonstrate that they are incapable of rational thought.
