they wont be getting on planes anytime soon
what did the judges think
were the girls auditioning to be simons next girlfriend

Hold their hands up and accept Putins "offer" to be assimilated into his army....with Prigovhin gone and Wagner allies in the ministry "disappearing" they've not really got a lot of choice unless they want to be shot down in a plane!
What this does show is that Putin is still in charge and isn't shy of ordering the murders of any dissenters, so he ain't going anywhere soon
they will do as they are told or its off to the gulags to finish their sentences

Alexei Dyumin
Nikolai Patrushev
Dmitry Medyedev
A few more of course but I can’t be bothered to type them up Tob

Wagner apparently threatening Putin if Prog is dead. Who knows...?

Interesting question with their apparent spend in space exploration (and income generation in satellites):
“Currently, India's space industry is valued at $8 billion with a 2% share in the global space economy. The government spending on space is around $2 billion and the country has launched 381 foreign satellites since 1999 for 34 countries clocking $279 million in revenues.”

KYIV, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine's navy and military intelligence carried out a "special operation" overnight in which units landed on Russian-occupied Crimea, the defence ministry's Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) said on Thursday.
The operation, which Reuters was unable to independently confirm, would amount to a rare demonstration that Ukrainian forces are able to stage ground operations in Crimea, which Russia seized and annexed in 2014.
