can someone post some Russian Twitter accounts covering the news so I can follow the Russian side of the story ?
I would love that, too. I don't think there are many, if any.

No, it is definitively a Russian T-72B3M. Since it is intact I assume it broke down.
So Putin really thought that this was a war between brotherly nations... Flagrant violation of Siege's rule no. 1 -- "Never drink your own Kool-aid".

China and the Trump administration are literal counterexamples to the single party suggestion: the former is extremely efficient and rectifies errors quickly while the latter, which was filled with yes-men, rose to power via a multi-party system. No system is immune to yes-men.One biggest problem with single party states and strongmen is that leader/leadership can easily end up being surrounded by "yes men" who agree on things they know are stupid. Russians are moving forward in Ukraine, slow but surely, yet Putin goes on talking about nuclear weapons. Shoigu was giving Putin "wtf going on here, mate" look when Putin mentioned nuclear weapons.
Thats looks like a thermobaric explosion.
He should have learnt from the Soviet Union. Whenever one ethnic group would rebel, he would send in that groups enemy to quell them. Azeris against Armenians, Czech against Hungarians and so on. That way soldiers are motivated to actually fight.So Putin really thought that this was a war between brotherly nations... Flagrant violation of Siege's rule no. 1 -- "Never drink your own Kool-aid".
