Drones are everywhere. Traffic cameras don't care.

      I like to think there are people holding positions of varying “power” (like controlling whether or not the traffic cameras are operating) in Russia that are against the war and do as much as the can to act against it while maintaining plausible deniability for their own safety (and comfort maybe).

        That’s a very interesting thought… Kind of sabotage without the illegal part that is commonly implied with sabotage.

        Your comment reminded me of Hanlon’s razor, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. We may find out after the war when the ruzzian survivors tell their stories of the hellhole they’d been freed from.

          Don’t forget, never forget, that graffiti the invaders left behind, in that vandalized, semi-destroyed public park restroom in Bucha - “Who gave you permission to live this well?”

          That right there is their REAL propaganda, their manifesto.
          “The only thing we hate more than our own lives, is the lives of others.”

          They actually believe that anyone who isn’t dog-eat-dog-world, anyone who pitches in and trusts others a little to live better as a community AND without an all-powerful medieval god-king, is an infection to be eradicated.

    I’m trying to understand what is implied by saying that “fighters escaping drones” are being fined. Are they using their personal vehicles?
