This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

If you are talking about the leaked audio, no I don't consider that meddling. But of course, as you always do, you didn't answer anything jn my post, simply began a new one. Meddling would be the Russian troll farms. Not a state diplomat discussing who the US would prefer as President.
I love that they give reaction shots because you can tell even the other guests don't buy into this BS.
This was announced in August so maybe they have now arrived.
Maybe for early warning of ship launched missile attack that is expected?
Great evidence for his future trial.
“Meddling”? You’re too kind.
It wasn’t until July 7 that the Times admitted the importance of the neo-Nazis and other ultra-nationalists in waging war against ethnic Russian rebels in the east. The Times also reported that these far-right forces had been joined by Islamic militants. Some of those jihadists have been called “brothers” of the hyper-brutal Islamic State.
The Ukraine Mess That Nuland Made
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland engineered Ukraine's regime change without weighing the likely consequences.

Also, a ‘re-branding’ may be in order. Maybe something a little less, idk, nazi-ish.

Agreed. I have a stupid question which has likely been answered already numerous times in this thread: are the Russian soldiers not able to hear or see these drones hovering above them? I’ve only seen one video of them even pointing a gun at one of these drones. Is it simply a case of them being exhausted or otherwise occupied with other threats on the ground?
No expert but these drones are pretty quiet.
More than reasonable to assume they simply don't hear them.
I would say this, along with the drones flying high enough so that sound dissipates, although all of my opinions are rank speculation.
I'd think being through artillery barrages and background combat noise it'd be pretty hard to pick up a drone at altitude.
Just noodling out the numbers, since 2/24, Russia has averaged losing 316 troops per day. At this rate, they will hit 98K by January 1st. If they average 355 per day, they will hit 100K. Let's go Ukraine, you can do this!
Add to it........I'm guessing most of the soldier have experienced some hearing loss from all of the bombing/shelling/fighting.
Somehow directly or indirectly related to the Urkaine war?

"The concepts that prevail in these subdivisions are extra-statutory, to put it mildly, and in reality, they are absolutely criminal concepts. ‘We don't give up’ means that no one backs down. Retreating will result in either mutilation, which may include loss of limbs, or death. The wounded can be finished off – it’s absolutely normal (for them). There are multiple cases of a person dying not from injuries received, but from a shot or smashed skull, (killed by their own side) so as not to 'suffer' on the battlefield, the expert added."
Wagner Group mercenaries creating illusion of effectiveness, but suffering huge numbers of dead
Serhiy Kuzan, head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, spoke in an interview with Radio NV on Nov. 24 about the tactic behind Russia’s use of Wagner mercenaries, which creates the illusion that they are an effective fighting force.
Some recycled concepts but still an enjoyable read.

This Is How the U.S. Totally Misjudged the War in Ukraine
Metin Aktas/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesThe war in Ukraine isn’t going the way Russian President Vladimir Putin expected. And he’s certainly not the only one who was caught by surprise—the U.S. expected a rapid Russian success, with the Kremlin’s tanks inside Kyiv within days.Many U.S...
Someone get the Wisconsin Dells Ducks on the phone. They are needed for a higher purpose.
I'm guessing they're high enough up and small making them hard to see. The DJI Mavik 3 mentioned In this article has a maximum altitude of 30,000 ft.
Edit: The DJI website only claims 6000m, about 18,000 ft.
Ukrainian soldiers are turning consumer drones into formidable weapons of war
Simple photography drones are being put to good use on the battlefield in Ukraine. Videos show soldiers using these drones – the same kind you can buy online for hobby use – to surveil Russian troops…

I am not so sure though it is that all the time. Someone should do a calculation based on release of grenade to hitting the hiding troops how long it takes and how high up they are. There are a lot of videos I have seen and even posted here that show the guys bracing for impact, too scared to move. There was one video where one lands in a foxhole full of Russians and the slow reactions both before and after detonation indicates troops that are likely some combination of exhausted, malnourished and /or suffering from hypothermia. Heck there is even one where the guy knows he is being targeted by a drone and kills himself. I think they are aware of them but just unable to shoot them down.
I have seen enough videos where vehicles like this decide to become submarines, that I get nervous when I watch one
The amount of what used to be called "battle fatigue" has to be extremely high in this conflict. There's been a lot of comparisons with WW1 but in WW1 when the artillery barrage ended...and if you kept your head down from snipers you could get some rest. With these drones there has to be a constant level of anxiety....never know when there's one up there getting ready to drop some grenades on you.
Obama in 2016 Brexit and Israeli elections? They should shut up but I can't see how it violates someone's sovereignty. But it is meddling.
Did Iraq by drones from us? Have you forgotten the planeload of cash Obama gave Iran?
US runs troll farms too. I linked the Facebook report on them in one of the Twitter threads.
I would like to point out they weren’t discussing simply who they ‘preferred’ as president of Ukraine, but how they would bring in foreign actors (Biden, UN envoys, etc) to “make it stick.” It was about who to install, not simply who we hoped would emerge.
