Russia - threadbanned users in OP

How's that interesting?

I don't know what relevance a possible Putin double has, anyway. It seems more something to discuss for the sake of it and trade bits of supposed evidence, I.e "... Notice the curvature of the earlobe..."

Maybe you could say it has relevance in the sense of how confident Russia is in its hold upon Mariupol, but Ukraine would know the scale of the job they have to do in order to reclaim that territory in any case. A Putin double wouldn't really change anything about that.

That should cheer the Orcs up.

Russia would just saturate Poland with nukes until it glowed green from space if they unilaterally declared war.

Have a look at this one

Why does Russia waste much needed missile's and artillery shells by bombing Kherson daily. Are the unit's near the city under pressure to show the hire ups they're actually doing something? Makes no sense they would save this ammo for something more useful.

I'm shocked they haven't threatened nuking the Hague yet. Are they slowly realizing it's just empty threats?

Russia seem to be tapping into a titanic store of Cold-War ear munitions, likely intended by the Soviets for a broaded World War. These are dumb munitions mostly, have practically no targeting but can still cause damage.

I'm many cases I don't think the Russians have much in the way of stragegy beyond "Hold this line, and keep shelling over there". Theres very little selective targeting of military assets and beyond occasional focuses on Ukraine's power systems they are just lobbing repurposed SAM missiles in the general direction of the AFU lines. They don't seem to care what civilian homes happen to be there too.

Makes no sense...but that seems to be their motto in general.

Definitely not broadcast on Russian tv during putards visit to Mariupol a woman is clearly heard shouting,

"It's all fake"

389 days since it started and numerous commentators/experts/analysts and boards.ie ‘military sages’ have been saying this and yet this ‘excuse of a human being’ still holds power and despite what some would interpret as recent ‘shows of weakness’, the bombing, shelling, war crimes, sh1t talk continues from the regime…..😡😡

And he is still sucking on a hard sweet. He sucks at least two every day between meals. He got a ‘job’ done on his teeth on the right side and was advised to suck hard sweets on his left side only - hence that lump. Source provided if required - but it may take some time

I would of thought if it was not him and it was a double one of the West's intelligence agencies would of came out and said it wasn't him. I'm sure it would of been great PR if Biden was out in the white house Lawn informing the media that it wasn't him. That's why I believe it was him as if it wasn't the above is exactly what would of happened. I say Putin came out of his lair to say screw the warrant that was just issued to him. I think if Western intelligence agencies say it wasn't him I would believe then it wasn't but since they haven't then I believe it was him. I know everyone is looking at different pics of him during it but western intelligence agencies would have teams looking at same with high powered computers checking same out. If they could shovel more **** onto putin they would and especially in this case they would love to but so far nothing and I don't think we will be told otherwise as sadly him.

Exactly. It's utterly pointless discussing particular public appearences (was it a double or not!) unless there's firm proof and not something reputable/serious media would bother with I think. It is similar to the speculations on Putin's health.

Anyway Mariupol seems to be quite important to him/the regime + they are using it as a propaganda showcase for their invasion + "Russifying" occupied Ukraine.

Hence the publicised visit by Putin whether a double was used or not, or what parts of it are faked or distorted. Political leadership in totalitarian dictatorships (pretty much what Russia has morphed into now) just operate on secrecy and lies, it makes it impossible to trust anything that comes out.
