The navy man Ivan Kazanow who sank the Moskva with a dropped cigarette, was transferred here. He keeps causing these accidents

Indeed.
Russians are smoking carelessly. Their refineries are also burning up one after the other... too many smokers...

America is not annexing countries. Russia does that, non-stop.

I went to Russia on three START missions. When your Russian military pilot is so drunk and cannot get up the ladder to the cockpit of the plane transporting the inspection team and has to be replaced...that indicates a problem. I saw NOTHING redeemable about Russian culture. Hookers everywhere, drunks everywhere. You speak of conveniences that are similar? Tell that to the babushka who had to walk down the street to the public manual water pump in winter to try and get a pail of water since her house had no source. I challenge you to find a public restroom that isn’t the most disgusting place you’ll ever see.

Russia is just like the US? Really?

Please tell us all the neighboring countries the US has attacked, invaded, and annexed in the last 20 years (Russia has done that to three counties)

They [Russia] are with freedom. Seems their government is far more liberal when it comes to speech

That has to be one of the all-time stupidest comments ever made on FR

Move to your Russian paradise, and you'll get a cold dose of reality, LOL

The dispatch service reportedly called the explosion "a planned event, not an emergency."

Yeah, buddy. Blowed up real good … on purpose!

Uh huh, sure it did … hahahaha … too funny.

TIL that Russian ground crews for the MIG25 drank the alcohol meant for cooling the plane and called MIG25 “The Flying Restaurant”.

You're wrong about that, but we are catching up.

A good question is which is more embarrassing for Russia: An accident, or an attack?

An attack would be more meaningful, as it would mean Russia would have to defend an almost impossible amount of territory.

Spent a half hour at another site last night watching a LOOOONG video discussion about this “accident.” Cell phone footage was shown from 10 and 20 miles distance by Russians from home. The explosion itself was large and bright. After the initial explosion which was not heard, one could hear the fuel burning off, even from 20 miles away. The 2 men discussing the incident proposed it was a system accident, a human accident, result of poor practices and maintenance, sabotage, or Ukranians. These Ukraine supporters were leaning toward result of poor practices and maintenance.

One pointed out he had watched US rocket tests, the fire pointed down and was never performed at midnight when people should be sleeping. This night burn lit up the entire sky. They were looking forward to daylight satellite photos for all to see. They also showed before pictures of the factory area in question. They suggested that since there were no State reports of nuclear danger, probably these were just the nuclear shells with the nukes stored elsewhere, not in a populated place, for final loading.

Add to the large territory, increase Ukrainian deeper strike capability, know deep sabotage, and the loss of many air defense systems and as the saying goes present your opponent with a dilemma….

The govt in the US are not saints, just ask J6 prisoners, and justice is not even. Trump gets the SWAT treatment, and xiden gets the “it’s just ole feeble minded Joe” treatment.

WTS, speech more liberal? Protest the war, go to jail, criticize the military, SMO, Putin, call it a war…. You are arrested.

Alcohol abuse is more than twice what it is in US, and drug use is a problem as well.

As to aggressors, discounting all the aggressions that the Soviet Union did, Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Korea, Vietnam Afghanistan, there is Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine.
There are no saints

This could easily be sabotage from within. Done by Russians.

 The wrecker has been discovered on surveillance camera by the FSB. This is all over the Roooski Telegram channels.  Wrecker (saboteurs) was a common accusation in Stalin's USSR. 90% of accused wreckers were innocent. But this was convenient excuse to send them to Gulag or execute them.

Oh I totally agree. There are no saints. Those at the top of the food chain of any countries government are not good old boys. As I told someone today. If you want to get ahead in the world we live in today you have to get your shoes dirty stepping on people. There’s no way to get ahead being the nice guy anymore. It will not happen.
