Russian air carrier is crippled by economy, sanctions, lack of pilots, it's a big mess. The sanctions are hurting the maintenance of the planes, which makes the pilots not want to work there because of existential dread. Costs are rising, profits plummeting, and the stewardesses will have to brighten up some other industry.

This is why I don't get Trump

He keeps spieling MAGA, make America great again, which involved creating a local booming economy, you would think he be pumping out 5x the weapons. I guess pleasing Russia outweighs his main slogan lol.

Copypasta from minusrus.com...... so the minions of mordor had 1160 soldiers with casualties and 64 artillery systems destroyed yesterday. I'm not going to make any jokes about the booming fertilizer industry because war is a terrible thing and it will be a blessing when this is over. But it needs to be done in the right way, with the aggressors giving up and going home, while realizing that they can't push other nations around and expect that anything positive will come from it. This war seems almost personal to me, makes me think of bullies i faced as a child and i see the same kind of behavior here. Kick some ass ukraine!

Killed
661,630 +1160
Combat vehicles 17,710 +31
Tanks 8,933 +14
Artillery 19,156 +64
Aircrafts 368
