This is standard geopolitics. You find dissatisfied people in the population of countries you don’t like, and then you support those people in various ways in order to destabilize your competitors.

no, not really, it's only the last 20-30 years and mostly used like this by russians (also includes things like setting up conspiracy theory websites without obvious ideological tilt (at first), maybe to groom suggestible population for later use). the old way was to try to bring these people to your cause, not just to try to cause non-directed disorder

Ukrainian AA can't reach these bombers because these were used as launching platforms for long range missiles over Caspian, relocating SAM sites does nothing. Also it's likely that what was hit were good planes, some of which were even fitted with Kh-101 cruise missiles at the time of attack, and part of what is left are planes under maintenance. It could be so that only third or less of long range bombers are usable now, which would most obviously increase wear on them in immediate future

this was before we figured out that you can use stranded aluminum wire and it's fine this way

that, or copper clad aluminum

only residential wiring uses copper, everything from 350kV down to 400V lines is aluminum, and even in houses aluminum can be used too
