Quote from: Jacob on February 19, 2023, 05:00:12 PMSeeing reports (by reputable independent investigative journalist organization Proekt) that Putin has built a private railroad connecting his residences in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Sochii.

I guess he's worried that if a Polish president could die in a plane accident, so could a Russian one.

Got to give it to him. This is amazingly cool (in a holy shit that's corrupt as hell way).
Even a little private railway would be cool but one so huge, and unknown?

Colour me as skeptical as a newborn cock on a conveyor belt. But if true... Quite amazing and sounds really useful for post Putin Russia.

Quote from: Jacob on February 19, 2023, 06:14:35 PM... maybe it's more that they built extensions from Putin's residences to the existing rail network, rather than a full scale separate rail system.

Yeah, just spurs from existing railway lines. It's what I would do if I had that kind of power  :)

OK, so less Snowpiercer then and more generic Bond villain.
Still kind of cool.

Squeeze applauds Putin's low carbon footprint but reserves final judgement until he finds out if the rail is private or nationalized.

In Russia there is no such distinction.

Since it is not Ukraine War-related...

Damn that is pretty close...


The titling is a little misleading...not Alaska/US airspace, but in the Alaska ADIZ (and still international airspace).

Just target lock them or strafe the bomber they're escorting. What are the moskals actually gonna do?

I thought he did a reverse flight and took a picture of the American pilot.  I'm mildly disapointed. <_<
