  Hey nikolay, ever lived under Russian occupation? I did.

    All occupations are bad - just like all wars. As a Bulgarian, we've been occupied for 500 years by the Ottomans - you think it was any better?

>Russian media and social media accounts that stand for the invasion often put Z in their names or logos. That's how you can detect them. What the author fails to explain (probably because he assumes his readers already know) is that Z is not in the Russian alphabet. Adding a Z to a typical account name in Russia is analogous to my adding a Ж character to my account name, i.e., not something that would ordinarily occur to a person.

Russian Leni Riefenstahl MF-er who came up with coopting Z into some kind of national symbol miscalculated badly. In Ukraine Z is seen as opportunity for easy target practice, untrained confused cannon fodder first to desert and abandon multi million dollar military gear (like TOR SAM systems towed by farmers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD8z_kGe7rs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD8z_kGe7rs). Z is failure impersonified. This is what Z looks like one week into the war https://twitter.com/LostWeapons/status/1500417894491983876 https://twitter.com/LostWeapons/status/1500417894491983876 a hastily assembled backup convoy of 30-50 year old cars, busses, buhankas and chinese trucks.
