A Russian fighter pulled off the most confusing flying squirrel takedown on a French opponent and nobody in the building could explain it, the French guy was completely lost

There has never been a president of a country at war that has travelled abroad so much as Zelensky. It is almost uncanny. Does he visit Ukraine?
Community note
Wartime leaders frequently travel abroad for diplomacy, alliances, and aid. For example, during WWII, UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill made 25 international trips, spending over a year outside the country. US President Franklin D. Roosevelt also traveled extensively.

"The costs of continuing the war are slow and diffuse ... while the costs of stopping or even pausing are immediate and concentrated... . And guess what, regimes almost always choose the slow bleed over the acute crisis. That’s part of the war trap."

There’s basically two stories about the World Cup right now, it’s either
“US Customs hooks Tajik team up to the BallGrabber 7000 as they exit bus”

Good piece here. I know Russians who think the invasion of Ukraine was the worst thing ever, but want the sanctions - if not the war itself - to go on forever because they are good for their business
Russia's economy and society have been reorganized around war. There are now powerful domestic incentives that make ending the war difficult and even dangerous for Russia’s president.

If you immediately know who I’m referring to when I say “Peruvian Japanese faildaughter girlboss Hitler,” that’s great but it’s important to understand your intuitions about the average voter are worthless.
