#4  To quote the great political theorist Eliza Doolittle, "Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words."

The fecklessness of this administration is depressing.

#5  And if he doesn't "cut it out," he'll get another harsh talking to.

Maybe send Hunter with bags of cash (less 20% and 10% for TBG)?

46 foreign recon birds spotted near Russian borders
Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] A total of 46 foreign reconnaissance aircraft approached the state border of Russia during the week. This was reported on July 9 by the official publication of the Ministry of Defense "Krasnaya Zvezda".

Also during the week, five foreign drones were recorded carrying out aerial reconnaissance along the Russian borders.

All of these objects were reportedly accompanied by Russian radar stations. In order to prevent the violation of the state border, fighters from the air defense forces on duty rose into the sky four times.

According to the Ministry of Defense, there were no violations of the airspace of the Russian Federation in any of the episodes.

Probably some weird Russian word meaning monitored...
Yandex translates it as "under maintenance|escort|accompaniment".

I get that people want their own language, what with tribalism and all, but do you really need a different word for everything? The world would go around much faster if people would speak English like everyone else.

#5  Russian language is extremely context sensitive.

Some phrases in Russian don't make sense in English. The closest analog is idioms.

Additionally, there are several concepts that are defined by a single word that cant be defined in Russian without using a number of words which could in translation confuse the translation,

Conversely, there are some concepts in English that require several words, a phrase or an idiom that the Russian use a single word.

So, the phrase that Russian radar stations accompanied the targets make perfect sense.
