I saw something written by an aviation boffin on that topic. Apparently there was only one 225 in existence, but it's also going to affect the rest of the huge cargo aeroplane universe because no service and spares now, meaning yet more logistics pain. He was saying the Antinovs are the only way to transport certain large items by air.

we had an AN-124 at work earlier in the week, and that is a big plane, but the 225 is so much bigger again!
they do have a second 225 partially completed, they are now looking at the prospect of finally completing it after so many years of it sitting around

woke is more in the pop culture/entertainment area than anything else, though there is a bit of woke politics happening but the term "Woke" mostly happens in/around the entertainment area but over recent months "Wokeness" in this area is getting rejected and movies that have a "Woke" leaning to them are starting to fail whilst movies that treat the source material with more respect tend to do better.
It's a really complicated subject matter really but it will simply take too long to explain if you haven't really been paying attention.

Interesting opinion on the current situation on the ground. As someone who has never been in the military it's interesting to hear from someone who has been involved in something like this. I haven't looked too much into his credentials but on the surface it seems like a balanced analysis and puts into perspective a lot of what we have been seeing and reading recently.

Does anyone understand Putin's Nazi claims about Ukraine? I'd be keen for a good source explaining it.
To be clear, I'm not expecting it to be valid, or trying to give it credibility. Just wanting to understand why it seems to be a common claim from that side?

@Litenbror you know how much I dislike the YouTubers with long vids but that was very good.

from my vague understanding there's complaints that Ukraine is running a nationalist agenda that appears to be promoting some anti Russian sentiment.
haven't looked more closely at it myself but that seems to be the jist of it iirc

To the West, Russia's invasion is seen as vicious and unjustified. Not here
Foreign Correspondent spends a week inside the alternative reality of the "anti-fascist" Donetsk People's Republic in the lead-up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Seems there is some recent historical reasons the Nazi trope persists

Thanks. I skimmed that earlier today, but it does have a few interesting points.This is a good insight for a start.

This was confusing as hell.ABC article said:
But then this other part at least gives some historical context.
All it takes is some tiny grain of truth they can twist into propaganda I guess.ABC article said:
