“Accidentally” really needs to be in air quotes there, as in the phrase ‘[Insert Putin critic] “accidentally” fell through an 8 story window.’

  Correct, a lot of "accidents" just happen...

  Yeah they just bombed a random street corner and then immediately admitted to it, uh, for TEH EB1LZ clearly. This makes a lot of sense and is definitely how the world works. I shouldn't have to remind you that cartoon villains are not real and only exist in cartoons.

    False flag attacks are very much real and are pretty well documented in this very war. They are generally not well executed and come off as very obvious. At least by Russia. This incident does appear to be an accident however.

    > I shouldn't have to remind you that cartoon villains are not real and only exist in cartoons. True, cartoon villains aren’t real… of course in the case of Putin we’re talking about a verifiably real villain, so not entirely sure what your point is there. Also all we know right now is that the brass said it was merely Russian military incompetence that happened, rather than an intentional act, however motivated, by the pilot… though I’ve got a funny feeling he’ll trip out a window before speaking up I’d really like to hear from the pilot, because — I dunno about you — but seeing a Russian military leader admitting a mistake just seems fishy on its face.
