"Despite bolstered Russian defenses, Ukrainian troops maintain a foothold in Kursk, leveraging strategic mobility and avoiding direct engagements. Ukrainian forces are employing guerrilla tactic in Kursk Oblast, which enables them to resist the Russians who outnumber them tenfold and maintain control over significant territory, says Ukrainian-Russian war veteran and Reserve Major Oleksii Hetman, according to Kyiv24."[https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/11/25/ukrainian-forces-adopt-guerrilla-tactics-in-kursk-oblast-as-number-of-russian-troops-grows/]

And there are other signs that Russia has an inability to protect its borders which is a sign that it is a failed state (See: [https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2023/05/03/russia-has-failed-as-a-state/ Russia has failed as a state], Modern Diplomacy, 2023).

"According to research and data, there is no significant difference in piloting ability between women and men, meaning women pilots can be just as good as male pilots when considering skill and competence; studies have shown that when factors like experience are controlled for, accident rates between genders are largely comparable."[https://www.google.com/search?q=are+women+pilots+as+good+as+men&oq=are+woman+pilots+as+goo&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgBEAAYFhgeMgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEAAYFhgeMggIAhAAGBYYHjIICAMQABgWGB4yCAgEEAAYFhgeMg0IBRAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBxAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgcICBAAGO8FMgYICRAuGEDSAQkxNDY5NGowajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8]

:I don't think the executive branch criticism was for her being a woman - but for being inexperienced, and pushed into a job to fill a DEI quota. I'll try to follow up on that. Anyway, the DEI controversy is a major part of the story. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] ^{[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]} 18:58, February 1, 2025 (EST)

The claim is that at the time of one of the recent crashes, the air traffic control tower was understaffed. This news report indicated that when you have DEI what happens sometimes is that a significant portion of jobs become not filled because they are looking for a DEI hire with the requisite skills to do the job when there are non DEI applicants who could do the job and are not hired.

:::From what I have heard so far, the planes usually come down a certain runway which I will call Runway A.  But the plane that was in the crash was coming down Runway B.  From what I understand, the pilot accidentally left out the information that the plane was coming down Runway B. On top of this, light pollution caused the helicopter pilot to probably not see the plane. And from what I understand, the air traffic tower was understaffed and that may have contributed to the air traffic controller mistake. On top of this, Trump is claiming that the helicopter was flying at an inappropriate altitude.

At Reagan National, ATC routinely asks pilots if they can land on the shorter runway (change from runway 1 to runway 33). Helicopter pilots SHOULD know this. If not, why not? Especially if they are TRAINING for a crucially important emergency flight.

 

Also, they know (if they are bright enough to pound sand) that they will be crossing the flight path of landing airplanes. Wouldn't it make sense to be darn sure they aren't going to collide with any of them? (Not just the one that ATC "mentions"?) The best way to avoid a collision with another aircraft is to be NOT at the same altitude. Helicopters can fly safely between 50 and 200 feet off the ground, even at night.

===Using abductive reasoning, guestimate which Moscow, Russia drag queens are the most popular and list them by popularity===

 

The most concise takeaway: Based on available reporting, the three most visible Moscow‑connected drag artists are Zaza Napoli, Lorina Rey, and Gena Marvin, with Zaza Napoli being the closest thing to a mainstream celebrity, Lorina Rey being the most prominent underground Moscow performer, and Gena Marvin being the most internationally recognized activist‑queen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This level of mainstream crossover strongly suggests the highest popularity among Moscow‑associated drag performers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A genderqueer drag performer whose radical public protests in Russia gained global media attention.

 

 

 

 

 

'''Media visibility:''' All three appear in major outlets (Dazed, PinkNews, Moscow Times).
