A slur word used against gay people.
As for the N-word, there is a similarly sounding but fairly neutral Russian word which was OK to use until the influence of the US culture tarnished it.
It seems that Russia will concentrate on mostly military space applications from now on. So different kind of management will be required.

Seems like a death sentence atm.
Or a great chance to show himself.
You're forgetting that Russian generals are demoted if they win too much, since they could become a threat to Putin's position if they gain too much influence.
There's no way to win in the Russian military, other than the bribes in your pocket.
"USSR logic"

Yeah, that seems to be becoming the new "sent to Siberia", although I very much doubt he'll be placing himself directly in danger, unless he had no choice. Either way, he picked his poison long ago.
There really will be nothing left of Donbwabwe and Luganda once the Russian army is done with them: no buildings/infrastructure (blown up by enemy artillery, or possibly own artillery if there is ever a counteroffensive), but certainly no capable men (all forcefully drafted into the army and then killed or maimed in combat). The worst part is that both sides have the resources and will to continue fighting for quite…
HIMARS 300 km. Destroys the Russian dependency on railroads and with that, Russian military logistics capacity.

Their priority is also their weakness.

I'm not sure why SpaceX is allowed to have a troll for a boss and Roscosmos is not?!
Currently this trend appears to be reversing. The country is getting increasingly authoritarian [0], the economy is switching from a highly corrupt trickle-down-oil-money model, to centrally managed industrial economy driven by the war needs.
I don't like where this is going. If Russia is pushed back into its borders, it will take a couple of years to ramp up weapons production and will retry. If it manages to successfully take over Ukraine, it will very likely press forward to attack other ex-USSR states. If China decides to join the party and rally out against Taiwan, we pretty much have a guaranteed WWIII until mutual exhaustion.

Hm... my English is not good enough to guess it :-( As for the N-word, there is a similarly sounding but fairly neutral Russian word which was OK to use until the influence of the US culture tarnished it.

So unless he surrounds himself with human shields most of the time, or moves really stealthily around, Rogozin is in for a rather risky career change.
