Russian airplanes shot down over Russia

Quote

"To cut off rumors. Two Mi-8s, one Su-35 and one Su-34 were shot down in Bryansk region. We will avenge everyone, we will kill everyone"

At least the new Russian President is as memeable as the last one.

Another red mirage (or red crescent mirage). I hope. If not there's still the second round.

Slovakian government collapsed last week.

Lukashenko is now in a hospital bed (if he's gone, Russia's annexation of Belarus more likely)

Not looking good.

Nintex · « **Reply #12967 on:** May 14, 2023, 02:01:58 PM »

There was the expectation that if Ukraine went tits up for the Russkies (and it did) that they would try and distract attention by taking Belarus instead to have an easy victory and open a second front.
I read that doctors from Moscow were on their way, probably to make sure he doesn't wake up.

Lukashenko famously said that Putin would outlive them all and attend all their funerals.

The voters were surprised to see President Erdogan behind him.

69% of Turks living in the Netherlands voted for Erdogan.
Doesn't surprise me, we literally have an offshoot of his party in our parliament.

I don't know if Wagner truly has 25k troops but frankly they could only have 10k and do damage. Too many Russian troops are deployed in Ukraine and I'd imagine some don't even know this is going on yet. Seems like Wagner has the upper hand but at the end of the day if Prigozhin is killed...

The Far Right was supposed to be a kingmaker, helping the Conservatives clinch a majority (in a coalition). A late surge put a stop to that, particularly from Catalonia. Turns out non-Castillian Spaniards are not too keen to see a return of the Far Right anywhere near power.
