I wonder if one of upcoming decrees will be to scrap the Russian tricolor and adopt the red banner of the USSR as their flag and the false glory that goes with it.

In my opinion, based on careful analysis of Twitter, General Ripper, Facebook, Oryx, Rob Lee, The Kyiv Independent and the Calgary Puck community, the RuF has lost 93.2% of their tanks, 76.4% of their aircraft, and 100% of their helicopters. Furthermore, I've been told since March the Russians have run out of ammo and precision guided munitions. Based on huge manpower losses, they were rendered combat ineffective on 28 Mar 22.

Out.

They want to just have a one-sided military campaign where no one shoots back at them while they invade, rape, pillage and murder?
No. We want no military campaign at all. There were huge anti-war protests from the day 1, when even western military analysts expected a quick and easy win by Russia.

Could be an impossible question to answer, as no one, likely including the Russians, knows how much functioning equipment they started out with.

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-lost...ne-war-1729590

It's likely that Russia has lost about 900-1000 tanks out of around 12k they started out with, but no one knows how many of those 12k were actually operational. There's likely more undocumented losses too. The Ukrainian army is claiming about twice this number, but that's likely exaggerated.

I was mostly thinking aircraft, since those numbers are lower and there is probably a better count.

Doesn’t seem like her father was in on it.

Here she is spouting off on Ukraine, just like the tweet title says. Don't believe what is posted online that it was an innocent victim who died. Rather she was radical just like her father. She was on the list of sanctioned individuals.

BTW her father is the author of The Foundation of Geopolitics. You reap what you sow.

If Ukraine was involved, would that be considered an act of terrorism?

This is what she was all about (link originally included in BBC article about her demise):

Going after military targets I understand but attacking civilians like Dugin would be a terrorist action

They didn't attack him. They just gave him a free family BBQ.

It would be rich for Ukraine to call Russia a terrorist state while committing terrorist attacks of its own
