Coming from a country bordering Russia and having had to deal with their bullshit for my entire life, the most frustrating thing about Russian bullshit is that if they could just be normal, they could be an actually wealthy and significant European country in a few decades. But no, they have always had this HUGE inferiority complex, which means that they need to continuously prove that they're great, powerful and important. And the only way they know how to prove their greatness and importance is to flex their "power" on their neighbors, including by militarily expanding their borders, while most of their "peer" countries (most importantly pretty much all of Europe) have moved on from this sort of view of being "powerful" after WW2 by the latest.

Nothing says "we're on path towards inevitable victory" (as Russian shills like to claim) like nuclear saber rattling.
That's literally not how it works, anything else is Russian fearmongering.
Also a bunch of countries fucking up a single country who can't even conquer their neighbor does not a world war make. If it did, the Gulf War would be called WW3 already.
I mean.
One might be a coincidence.
Two out of two? Considering how few high profile whistleblowers there are, that is much more unlikely to be due to random chance, statistically speaking.
Similar to how it's not impossible that someone might fall out of a window and die.
But if in a certain country, important people who have crossed the leadership keep falling out of windows, ... well.
I wish Russians thought like you do.
I don't see what that has to do with anything
It's one thing to have a general plan for a hypothetical scenario. It's entirely different to train your troops for a very specific scenario in a literal replica of the target location.
How many US troops do you think have received anti-zombie warfare training?
In my language, the word for coal refers to both types, but you can specify "wood coal" or "rock coal" if necessary.
I'm not sure why they want to make Russian people believe that Putin and his SMO are causing this misery to them but ok
I want it that way
People also often feed bread to birds, but bread is harmful to birds because it doesn't provide the nutrients they need while filling them up so that they don't go find more nutritious foods.
Furthermore, it's not that the original scientists failed to produce true-color images. The original published images of Neptune had deliberately enhanced colors to better show some of the features of the cloud surface, and the description text of the images said as much. But that nuance was quickly forgotten and everybody just took the deep blue coloring to reflect the actual color of the planet, which spread to depictions of the planet everywhere.
