    The Russian occupation is actually turning out more or less fine, the Russian government is better at finding and eliminating organized dissent than at pretty much anything else. They’ve been having some trouble against the regular army however

      Weird, I seem to recall there being some very big explosions happening in Russia like all of the time.

      I guess Russia is very good at rooting out organized dissent and preventing commando operations, just very bad at enforcing no smoking rules around explosives?

        What makes you think those are commando infantry operations by locals rather than airstrikes from ukraine

          What makes you think it makes a difference? Targets in Russia are blowing up either way.

          Also some of the big booms in Russia happened far enough away from Ukraine that it’s unlikely a drone strike. I suppose they still could be, but the drone operator would need to be inside Russia to make that happen.
