War as Comedy? Russia Just Lost a $500 Million Plane in Belarus

As a wholesome break from the homophobic transphobic nationalistic bilge pouring forth from some Russian media outlets this video features:

--the tragic demise of a Soviet era AWAC plane while sitting on a tarmac in Belarus

--two clips of absolutely hysterical spin about why it was good for RUSSIA that they did not take Ukraine in 3 days a year ago.

--mention of what RantWoman considers the crackpot idea of breaking Russia up into 14 smaller nations, a thought virus apparently spreading with somewhat the same clank as MTG's thoughts of red state / blue state divorce.

--A battle of the female monuments propaganda bit that turned out depressingly on brand.

--a battle cat who, in the words of the Ukrainian soldier who rescued it, probably knows more state secrets than anyone else in the battle zone.
