Possibly wild stuff going on in Russia, at least a dozen gov planes have flown toward the bunker complex for

government relocation in national emergencies. This would be similar to the US underground bunkers in Virginia. These planes all left Moscow within a short period as Ukraine continues to heavily bombard the city with drone strikes. The YouTube channel "The Enforcer" has been talking about this for a couple of hours. Not known what this means, if anything. Link below:

The war is escalating. I feel so sorry for Ukrainians and wish there were more ways to help.

I sincerely hope this is not the case but as we know Russia has many nukes and Putin has been threatening to use them on Ukraine almost everyday. I also believe that Ukraine possesses some kind of nuclear strike ability although they have never hinted at this but Ukraine is very good with technology and engineering while always keeping its cards close to their chest....Guess we'll find out eventually....

Remember when the war started and all their tanks and guns etc were not in good condition because they had not been maintained? I wonder if their nukes might misfire and blow up Russia instead of where they want them to go. So much corruption I wouldn't doubt that those tasked with maintaining them pocketed the funds.

After Musk took over Twitter, the account was suspended.

It was his birthday, so that’s a convenient reason, but he usually stops off in Germany to see us when he comes west. Not even a peep this time. I hope we find out why. My brother still maintains a level of security clearance that I’ll never have, so maybe we don’t get to find out.

He finds things and presents them, but his interpretation of the events is usually not on target.

Many of these could be flights to take them nearer to their home bases.

The destinations have varied, from St Petersburg to points east, so it's certainly not a dash for some singular "bunker complex".

What has been verified and is more concerning is the gathering of Russian troops on "exercise" in Belarus.
