    They probably went better than if they had gone home to failure....

    It's also possible that the Russian oeople will demand a free and fair election. Navalny could be released from prison, and run for office as he planned to do the first time Putin tried to kill him.

    Russians can ask for whatever they want but they won't get it. Putin has his entire cabinet and regime filled with Soviets that share his views. Including-ensuring his views only matter, not the public's. There will be no free election there but one can dream...

    Russian cosmonauts spark speculation after arriving at International Space Station in Ukraine's colors

    "Washington, DC (CNN)A trio of Russian cosmonauts arrived Friday at the International Space Station wearing bright yellow flight suits trimmed with blue, raising questions about whether the three were showing solidarity with Ukraine by wearing its national colors and rebuking their own government's invasion."

    It would bee awesome if it meant they were showing support for Ukraine, but these spacesuits were probably decided and prepped long before the invasion. The blue accent looks a little suspicious though.
    Whether intentional or not, the irony is 10 miles thick!
