Unbearable

You'll recall the teddy bear assault on Belarus.

The first casualties of the strike have been confirmed:

It's probably the first time in history that teddy bears have defeated generals.

Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko has sacked two of the nation's top defense officials after two Swedish advertising agency employees piloted a light plane into the country's heavily guarded airspace, dropping 879 teddy bears decked out in parachutes and slogans supporting human rights.

Based on the video, I have strong doubts that the plane dropped more than a fraction of the 879 teddy bears.

I'd laugh more, but Russia might use this to take over Belorus air defenses and integrate it with their own.
