Halfway truthful ... fly outbound chokka with fleeing citizens and have leasing Co's impound the plane 

Not like anyone would buy a return ticket ....

Great video of a fantastic plane landing and taking off.  Definitely one of Russias' finest creations.

Pity Putin is destroying much more than just the airlines of Russia with his Ukraine obsessive madness.

In terms of one way flights just wondering who is  going to evacuate who from the Space Station?

Musk to the rescue? 

Quote

Stationed aboard the ISS right now are NASA astronauts Kayla Barron, Raja Chari Thomas Marshburn, and Mark Vande Hei; European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer; and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov.

I wonder what kind of news they all receive.

Probably a lot about how will Russia pay for its space program now that the economy is trashed.

And /or what will the US do now a significant partner is deemed a pariah ?

Musk will be salivating over the accelerated potential for Space X. Look forward to some disasters on that front. Russia has historically supplied quite reliable services until now. China is catching up and on quite quickly. Space ! The Final Frontier!

In this modern age where globalism has invaded, inserted, inveigled even into the consciousness of at least a good percentage of avid devotees of consumerism that it is not so dissimilar to a circus act where the paying audience is conveniently  distracted by loud explosions or a ridiculous clown or some well rehearsed method from the reality of the dangerously worn out and poorly  maintained equipment.

For as long as it can be kept creaking down the road to next venue and the proprietors can extract a profit  even if that be by deferring full and proper payment to the lackeys it will  be. Dogmatic and loyal dedication to a deceptive concept is the  achilles' heel of the human race.

For those who might choose to deem my attempt at an appropriate analogy as gibberish need pause if they retain any capacity in "free thinking'.

For those in a position of "power" regardless of relevant  degree of social "status" will almost inevitably attempt to exercise that power in contentious application over those that even by the abused definition of "democratic process" to assist themselves or the clique of near support ahead of announcing the  necessity being on behalf any of the majority (suckers) .

The world is and has been in a state of delusional security primarily financial since the "crisis" which was the  signal of  inevitable collapse that  ever since has been cushioned and made to spiral in distractional  form... downwards .

Is Putin wrongful? Absolutely in terms of methodology ? His doctrine is what he knows.  Is his  motivation wrongful?  Again it is his egotistical dedication to that nationalistic doctrine that  convinces him he is correct.

Is and has opposition to Putin  been ignorant and wrongful?  Public opinion as expressed via global media is not polarized in sympathy to either side with the exception to regret and opposition to the deaths involved.

And even then there is reference to the comparative deaths of innocents elsewhere in conflicts that cumulatively so far make  the claimed Ukraine conflict look like a pile up on the M1 !

If I have and do agitate a small sample of  brain cells in any individual who  currently  thinks they need roboticaly subscribe to the  concensus of  mass media or populist opinion on a forum site that enables the dubious feeling of comfort derived from the ptsd diagnosis? An alternative  description  that involves  no "diagnosis" is  gutless individual  consumed by guilt .

Ok. Enough that should at least  clarify  that  despite  being contentious or contradictory to the apparent concensus of objection  I am a "shill"  for  Putin ( Shill?  An Americanism  for non conformance to  expectations in opinion>  ( Go figure!) ) I am  fully  aware of the background issues  that have  led to this  "Theatre" of  war.

SpaceX has vastly superior (and much cheaper) offerings than the Russians anyway.

Disasters?

Just out curiosity, what is the national debt of the USA and the national debt of Russia?
