There's some conjecture that they're fucking up on purpose to spite Putin. Sort of a "malicious compliance" extreme.
It has to be. Finding 3 copies of The Sims 3 on short notice was probably a several day task... it's a 13 year old game!

To be fair, it probably just came out last year in Russia.
Some apologists have been trying to say that "Signature Unclear" is actually a secret Nazi signature they use whenever they carry out crimes. It's kind of sad.
LoL
Like...why sign anything at all? That's "everyone in our secret gang has the same tattoo" levels of dumb. Like don't these people realize that if it looks like bad TV it's probably not real? Or are they banking on others to say "damn this is like some good ass TV so it must be real"
Could be they’re trying to get taken off the Ukrainian desk so they aren’t the ones catching a bullet when the dust settles. Or could be the FSB isn’t the kind of organization that rewards asking clarifying questions.
Donate $1,000, get a keychain made from a downed Su-34
Not entirely sure it's legit, but dang that's cool if true.

The Russian tank design flaw that makes them 'mobile coffins'
Unlike in Western tanks, Russian vehicles store up to 40 shells in a carousel at the base of the turret, making them extremely vulnerable in what is known as the 'jack-in-the-box effect'.
Video included in article.
It seems the Iraqis were using better tanks 30 years ago.
May 9th is more likely.

Russian frigate Admiral Makarov ‘on fire after being hit by Ukrainian missile’
Ship was sailing near Snake Island when hit, say reports

Problem there being that while individuals may well not be all that belligerent, they've been force-fed misinformation for years, and their world view is now hopelessly warped by fake news and manipulation through the media.
...oh wait, I thought we were talking about Republicans. Sorry! Yeah, there may still be hope for Russians.
Well looks like those recruits do not want to go to Ukraine either.

Ukraine mocked Russia's 'Victory Day' by holding a 'parade' of captured Russian tanks
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry tweeted its military was "ruining the holiday for the occupiers" as Russian forces celebrated in their home country.

Finland has declared its intention to join NATO.
Russia has responded that they consider this a threat and will have repercussions etc etc.
So: neighbor of Russia does something they don't like = it's a threat
neighbor of Finland does something they don't like = they should roll over and take it and not meddle in "internal" affairs.
Ah yes, logic.
