This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)


> Russia's largest airline, Aeroflot, is poised to resume regular scheduled flights to Kazakhstan, despite a substantial chunk of its fleet being at the heart of legal action from plane-leasing firms seeking the return of their aircraft.

> An official in Kazakhstan's government has told Eurasianet that only aircraft previously purchased outright by Aeroflot from foreign leasing companies will be permitted to service those flights.

> At present, Aeroflot subsidiary Rossiya Airlines is the only Russian-owned carrier to offer direct flights to Kazakhstan.

>There is an insane lack of political engagement in Russia.

And you know this how exactly? I have a personal phone number of my local representative, and attened some meetings personally. I have seen other people on those meetings.

>It's not seen in a democracy as wrong to protest or disobey a law that you see as immoral, regardless of whether you lost an election or not.

It's not seen as wrong to protest. There is even a pretty well written procedure on how to organize peaceful protest. You are safe from detainment or arrest if you simply follow it. And the best thing there is no legal framework that forbids peaceful protest, just puts a certain limitations on it (like you can't block god damn roads without prior negotiation, you need to prepare a formal notice etc.). I have seen many protests that went fine without anyone being detained.

>Even within the context of elections, the result of losing an election and a law you disagree with being passed isn't to just give up and accept obeying the law, but to fight to change it.

I believe you should only fight within the fundamental legal framework which starts from constitution. But that's me.

Pakistani Taliban (TTP or Tehreek-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan) and TLP (Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan), both aim to overthrow the current government and set up an Islamic state of Pakistan like Afghanistan. Both are of the opinion that the current government is not Islamic enough

This is what I call karma.

Pakistan went out of its way to ensure the fall of the democratic government in Afghanistan and install an Islamic government that heavily degraded human rights and almost nullified women's rights. This is karma saying "Hi".

I do sympathise with the dead but it was the result of their own government's doing.

And given the economic shitshow going on, the nationalist party in power in the neighbouring country with a huge boner for revenge against Pakistan (due to their own valid reasons of Pakistan conducting cross-terrorism) and possibly (*wears conspiracy hat*) Western intelligence assistance as revenge, this is gonna get more ugly in my opinion
