I think he looks unnaturally laid back and strangely calm, but a bit wired inside, like he is drugged.
Correct - if these were false flag attacks, the Russian media would be shouting from the rooftops "Look at what those horrible Ukrainian Nazis have done now" (and they're not doing that).
His body language is very inward facing, it suggests subconsciously he is trying to protect/comfort himself. I have seen other videos of him in the past and his body language is very different. Legs open, arms relaxed, no tension in him.
I don’t know if he sick, but he is definitely showing stress. And if he is sick (cancer/neurological) stress can really exacerbate the situation.
They wont be making any more missiles without western high grade semi conductors anyway
I wish people would stop with the 'giving them some type of victory ' bullshit. They need to be sent home in tears with a busted face. Letting them have victories does nothing to stop this type of thing in the future. They need to feel defeat, so they know they cannot act with impunity.
Looks like he is holding on and getting ready for a rough ride
Tank without a trained crew is pretty useless,however infantry support might cover for it to some degree
Huhhhhh?
From day one when he told off his ministry and the other day he briefed Shoigu/the other fella this has been his body language.
Surely you could see that.
The pie contains novichok.
Im not so sure. Defo possible. But usually they blow up civilian apartment blocks and cause outrage, not hit building needed for the war effort. Either a UA special ops team, or Putin is creating an excuse to chemical strike the Steel Factory.
tbh Id like to agree, but I think its just a weird angle, its because we are looking at the side where his hand is sort of resting/playing on the table, I would say if you saw it either head on or from the other side it would look more normal. Look at his other hand.
Hmm maybe scrap that, it is definitely not resting/playing on the table.
Russia has already humiliated itself utterly and shown itself up to have an army of degenerates led by inept corrupt war criminals.
The time for humble pie and a "dignified" climb down is long gone.
Lot of false flag shite before the Russians drop something big.
Set expectations and prepare population phase I guess.
Putin you to his eyeballs on steroids. That's clear.
It's going to be one of those moments where you go from he looks a bit sick too he's actually out of his fuckin nut.
Russia's already been humiliated in the eyes of the West and seems to have, one way or another, controlled the majority of its population into going along with its cockamamy internal narrative. More humiliation wouldn't change too much. Russian mothers noticing that their sons have gone off to fight and never returned - that's a harder reality to distort. If the Donbas front line becomes a perpetual meat grinder, the expediency may end up lying with signing a peace deal and just getting the hell out of there, losing face be damned.
I swear this was a South park episode or something
I had the exact same thought watching the news earlier. My wife is a health professional and agreed he didn't look 'right'.
Deluded fools. They are acting like they're pundits for a soccer match. Brain dead.
Begun have the drone wars.
I just don't see you final point happening without a major meal of humble pie being consumed by the Moscow government, coupled with the humiliation of the Russian military.
Dress it up how they want but a even a Russian blind man can see that returning back to where they started from is not any type of victory.
Holding on to table like that shows that you are weak. It’s an extremely big tell…..that’s what I would think if it was a game of poker
If it's them, very clever to attack the military apparatus of the regime and not go after any civilian targets.
holding onto that table like he's on a rollercoaster... he's on the way out
battle of the drones, this war could come down to who can access the most drones
I got the invasion wrong and I misjudged the Ukrainian response. However I am referring to posters who systematically repeated Putin propaganda and talking points over the years through multiple conflicts and situations. I've noticed a lot of that is now gone (for obvious reasons).
A peaceful counter protest holding up blank pages / posters may be appropriate
Not a chance they would destroy these sites themselves. This is being done by Ukrainian operatives to target facilities important to the Russian war effort.
They are giddy about getting to launch a nuke….
I agree that it is not inconceivable that Ukraine could drive the Russians out of the east altogether, but the most realistic short-term outcome based on what I'm seeing at the moment is a stalemate.
As has been pointed out by people such as Michael Clark on Sky News, it's easier to fight a defensive war than an offensive one, and Ukraine attempting to push into areas which have been Russian-controlled for years would surely be a tough and costly fight. The tactic of holding the line and inflicting damage on the advancing Russians has been working so far.
The main way I see Ukraine getting the whole of the Donbass back is if the Russians eventually come around to some sort of brokered peace deal that allows for a federalised Ukraine. Possible also that Putin gets the boot and a more reasonable leader comes in and decides that Ukraine isn't worth the hassle, but this would go against a lot of previous Russian doctrine, so I wouldn't be holding my breath, there.
False flag shite going on.
