Poke people a while and their true colours come out. You with your false concerns for the deaths of poor Ukrainians yada yada, turn out to be nothing more that a piece of dirt on the sole of the Russian jackboot.
If he's dead there would be no point in covering it up, they'd get found out eventually. Most likely he's injured and they hope he recovers.
Losing the head of your armed forces is never a good thing.
Of course someone can replace him but will they be as good? Not to mention the propaganda win for the Russians if that happens
What’s the big deal? Would UKr not have a number of assistants/ deputies to replace him if something happened. Likewise the same goes for any position anyplace that becomes vacant for whatever reason. NOBODY IS IRREPLACABLE
Vid in question.
People like Clare Daly should put away their Ladybird books and read things like the article below from Jan 2022.
(Sorry, for some reason can't post the archived version)
I lifted the paywall for this article. The Wagner boss reportedly went on a rant that Russia is poised for a 1917 style revolution if the elites stay out of touch, says Russia must operate like North Korea for a few years.
“We are in a situation where we can simply lose Russia,” Prigozhin said, using an expletive to hammer his point. “We must introduce martial law. We unfortunately … must announce new waves of mobilization; we must put everyone who is capable to work on increasing the production of ammunition,” he said. “Russia needs to live like North Korea for a few years, so to say, close the borders … and work hard.”
Citing public anger at the lavish lifestyles of Russia’s rich and powerful, Prigozhin warned their homes could be stormed by people with “pitchforks.” He singled out Ksenia Shoigu, the daughter of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who was spotted vacationing in Dubai with her fiancé, Alexei Stolyarov, a fitness blogger.
“The children of the elite shut their traps at best, and some allow themselves a public, fat, carefree life,” Prigozhin said in the interview, which was released Wednesday on video. “This division might end as in 1917, with a revolution — when first the soldiers rise up, and then their loved ones follow.”
...
“My advice to the Russian elites — get your lads, send them to war, and when you go to the funeral, when you start burying them, people will say that now everything is fair,” Prigozhin said in the interview.
lmao
‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️Advisor of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to reanimate Zaluzhny, but something went wrong
▪️After reports of a serious injury to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny, adviser to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alena Shevtsova published a picture with him on social networks, but without confirmation of freshness;
▪️Attentive people noticed the handwritten date on the background - April 27 (and Zaluzhny disappeared in early May);
▪️ Under the post of Shevtsova on May 2, Zaluzhny in the same T-shirt and against the background of the same wall, attentive readers noted;
▪️Soon, the author deleted the photo from May 2, trying to cover her tracks.
▪️“Photos with Zaluzhny are left for 2-3 days,” - Arestovich.
I dunno what's happening. Perhaps he is just on leave ahead of the offensive? This war must be taking a massive toll on the Ukrainian leadership given how long it's been going on now. I seriously doubt he has been killed, or is a vegetable like some Russian propagandists are suggesting.
I think that you are confusing Military-issue orders not being a defense, and rightly so. But Putin's orders are personal life or death orders. Just look at the Nrs of deaths by window jumping, tea drinking, suicide by multiple weapon's, or just plain unnatural death's within the ranks of the Silovicki, Oligarchs, Military and civil administration. These all came about because one way or another, they did not follow Putin's orders. So, yes, Putin is directly responsible for all the deaths in Ukraine, Russian, Ukrainian, civilian or military. Nothing is done without his express command. He draws up the broad plans, and his underlings carry them out. Or else!!
Lay off the cool-aid comrade!
Lol. Your good for a laugh.
Yeah of course.
A bunch of boards.ie amateurs and I include myself in that knew he was bluffing at the time.
Studied for decades, dream on comrade😃😃
The Prigozhin videos from earlier this month about running out of ammo, shooting deserting Russians, calling out the Kremlin, etc. will be studied in military colleges for decades to come as a masterclass in battlefield psyops. He lured Kiev’s forces to the Bakhmut trap, killed their generals, and forestalled any counteroffensive.
Breaking!!!!
Newly found picture of Clare Dalys grandmother just released.
I'm in favour of peace negotiations too, but only when the murdering scum retreat to beyond their own borders and stop attacking Ukraine from afar.
For the life of me I cannot understand what 'peace negotiatons' means. Putin does not want peace, he wants to win and you can't have one-sided negotiations with him. What they really mean is surrender to the tyrant.
Absolutely yes ,
You'd think the Second most important person only second to Zelensky who's MIA should make an appearance to show the rumors are not true at least
I'm in favor of dialog and negotiations too, sure
But those terms of negotiation are that Russia leaves. What we will be negotiating is whether or not they allow them to retreat without coming under fire or not.
I think this one is going to find out at the next European elections just how out of touch she is. Embarrassment.
A beginning?
I have plenty of times but she doesn't deserve politeness the horrible lobotomised hag
The rumors will persist until he makes an appearance.
That New Yorker piece was excellent alright. If anyone enjoyed that then I'd recommend a couple of podcast episodes. They were done with an Englishman who is working on the front-lines as a medic. It's a very thoughtful and in-depth interview.
What reminded me of it from that piece is his respect and attention to the infantrymen right at the front. The men in the trenches. He points out that often times they are the last to get any of the fancy equipment or donations from abroad. They don't get the same love and attention that the special forces or glamour divisions get but they are literally holding the line at maximum danger from artillery at all times.
He also mentions the amount of "war tourists" that he comes across. Basically people who show up, try and get their selfies somewhere on the outskirts of Bakhmut with some UAF soldiers and then bugger off. There are also charlatans who offer help and then are never seen again. Also the foreign "fighters" who never go near the front and instead walk around cities dressed up in military fatigues.
USAF write up on yesterdays B1 interceptions
Russian fighter jet intercepts US bombers on first day of European deployment | Stars and Stripes
two further B1's due to UK tomorrow. Usually here for 6 weeks min, so will be some shenanigans over the next few weeks, particularly with the Gerald Ford in the North Sea currently, the heading to the med.
But still no public appearance in a week and Zelensky was out of the country,a bit sus
More on Zaluzhny
OSINTdefender on Twitter: "The Secretary for the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov has Denied the claims today by Russian State Media that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny suffered a Head Injury, as a result of a Russian Missile Strike on a… https://t.co/9iyBuEptEb" / Twitter
Not really, there's something being tracked somewhere round the Bay of Biscay for the past 2 weeks.... there has been Portuguese P-3's, Canadian P-3's operating from France, French Atlantiques, US Navy, RAF and Norwegian P-8's all on daily taskings.
Probably something lingering after the Gerald Ford deployment and waiting for it to come back down to the Med from Norway.
If there's a known target that's trackable, everyone usually rotates surveillance on it to keep up on training..
The Norway UK agreement is most focused on North Sea, North Atlantic and Artic region mutual interests.
That's how he always walks. It's said to be a 'gunslingers gait' that he learned in the KGB - keep the pistol arm close to the body at all times. Most likely it's some bullshit he invented to look tough.
Sleepy right arm!
