Funny, I was ranting much the same a couple years ago, after getting a cat. She eats couple of vet-recommended dry foods (supposed to be better for the teeth than soft food). And sure as sure it got me wound up. Why can't we have that? I barely have time to eat in the morning or on lunch break anyway, and most of that stuff is bad for the health in one way or another. Just gimme one of those sci-fi ration packs or something!

Turns out not allowing capitalist theft to run rampant lets one do more with less. Crazy, right?
I mean, look at the amount of "incidents" regarding NATO warships and submarines in Russian territorial waters in the far east.
They barely bothered to pretend even then
entrenching a culture of conformity where anyone even slightly off-beat is regarded as free to wail on
Try saying something against the accepted narrative in a mainstream place like reddit and tell me it isn't here already
I doubt they’d be to keen on turning Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and potentially the West Coast into an irradiated wasteland.
Why not? They didn't mind turning Ukraine into irradiated (thanks to depleted uranium) wasteland (thanks to everything else)
Since the conflicts are not anywhere near their mainland
This. I've talked about it before and agree wholeheartedly. This is why brits put so much emphasis on "The Blitz", despite nazi mass bombing pretty much everyone (Guernica, Stalingrad). This is also why yanks put so much emphasis on Pearl Harbour, despite, well, everything else.
Because it truly frightens them. War is always "overseas". Somewhere else. It's also why they got so spooked by those sillies in the Capitol - they smelled the smoke at home.
Two more drones got intercepted over Dzerzjinsk. Which is pretty darn far from the Ukrainian border. So they've likely been launched locally.
Lovely
By their own admission the armed forces of basically all of NATO countries are in such a bad state that it will take decades to recover
The media keeps telling them that each "Saint javelin" (actual circulating meme) takes a gazillion orcs every time it's used, likewise for every destroyed leopard or Bradley. The leap from this to "sure, it's in Bad shape, but together we shall persevere!" is not that far away.
No european NATO country has the military industrial capacity to compete with Russia
Not everyone in Russia understands this, much less in Europe
Look at how Bush got whitewashed
The way I read it, the drone was flying on some mission other than whatever the "allies" are doing. So it seems like the case of USA military just doing what it wants and not feeling like it should inform the vassals. Perhaps this is not the first such case, would explain why they didn't just started blasting immediately. "Oh, must be the yanks again"
Sounds like a threat. I mean, nato has been at war with Russia for years, but putting it out like that is a threat

Valeriy Pavlovich was born in 1904 in Vasilyovo, Nizhny Novgorod province. The town was later renamed Chkalovsk in his honour and holds that name still.
During his service as a test pilot, Chkalov has tested I-15 and I-16 interceptors, TB-1and TB-3 heavy bombers, as well as numerous experimental designs from Polikarpov. He had invented new aerial maneuvers - ascending corkscrew and slowed down barrel roll.
In 1936, Chkalov headed a team that commenced a record flight - from Moscow to island Udd in the Far East, with no intermediate landings.
In 1937, Chkalov headed the crew that commenced an even longer record flight - from Moscow to Vancouver, USA (Washington state), across the north pole and with no intermediate landings. The flight took two days and utilised ANT-125 airplane. The original plane has been restored and can be found in Chkalov museum, in Chkalovsk, Russia.

Valeriy Chkalov has tragically perished on December 15th,1938, during the test flight of the new I-180 fighter plane. During the landing descent, the engine suddenly stalled, sending the plane into uncontrolled twist. Chkalov was thrown out of the cabin and hit his head on debris. He was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately it was too late. He has passed away without returning to consciousness.
In conclusion, I would like to offer this little tidbit. Years later, Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space and test pilot of renown himself, placed Chkalov as an inspiration, and perhaps even the reason he went into aviation. Thus a true people's hero blazes a trail, even if he cannot follow it himself.

Recently Mr. Shirokov proclaimed that under the current state of economic development in Russia, 60% of Russian citizens ought to live in rental property, instead of owning it.
He suggested raising fees for apartment maintenance to 30-35k Rubles (monthly), and if the owner can't pay - move the apartment to a specially created "municipal fund". Since obviously if a person can't pay, they can't take care of it, right? It also means the person can be ousted from aforementioned apartment.
Paging whoever claimed Russian capitalism is different, that it's subservient to the state and all that.
A plane arrived at Makhachkala airport from Tel-Aviv today. A large crowd gathered at the airport and ended up storming the fences and breaking first into the building, and then out onto the landing ground. As can be seen in the video (see URL in the title), the crowd is waving Palestinian flags. Eyewitnesses report cars are being stopped and the passports of passengers are being checked. Reportedly, the crowd is "looking for the Jews".
I think we should celebrate. Lenin appreciation thread

Well as some folks noted, the media seems to be drawing a distinction between nazism and fascism. So he might not have a problem - nazi is when the baddies do it, you see
