Is anyone else slightly puzzled by the “30 years of peace” the commentator referred to?
That covers two wars in Chechnya, an invasian of Georgia, war with Ukraine at some level of intensity since 2014, and an ongoing involvement in Syria since 2015.
I’ve read that domestic support for war is quite robust so long as it stays on the scale of televised entertainment, I suppose that this is what it looks like in practice.

The value of Finland’s imports from Russia was 257 million euros in September. Compared to September of last year, imports have shrunk by 66 percent, according to preliminary data from Finnish Customs.
Helsingin Sanomat writes that there are now more than 80 percent fewer Finnish companies importing goods from Russia than there were a year ago.

Russian propagandists are once again complaining that Russia is “too kind” and isn’t bombing Ukrainian civilians hard enough:
Nothing new there, though this line by Simonyan caught my attention: “If you’re afraid of the Hague, stay out of the forest”. I’d like to see her unpack the mixed metaphor and spell out to the audience, in detail, what kind of a “forest” Russia has wandered into which makes the International Court of Justice at the Hague a concern.

Interesting, though, that the tenor is openly acknowledging the possibility of defeat.

It was just a sudden, acute, fatal case of defenestrationitis. It could happen to anyone.
(Note: I have no idea whether it was a window, but that suspicion is rather the point of the article, no?)

From the article:
“Makei was holding open the window of opportunity for establishing a dialogue with the West"
So, death by metaphor?

What’s simultaneously impressive and pathetic is how the possibility of losing a discretionary foreign war is being talked about as though there were an unprovoked surprise invasion going on, in the other direction; and they are attempting to remain stoic in the studio as the bogeymen of Azov battalion draw within hours of Moscow.
I’d call them masters of projection; except for force projection, that one not so much.
