Putin called Erdogan today who expressed his support for the Russian leadership. I wonder who else he called.
I was wondering exact same thing, but i think they have put a news blackout on because its better for them that people see this and also they havent being putting much out lately, only seen Drone king eating his popcorn and some random video of Russians running
Strange situation for them, i remember reading stories of WW1 soldiers being killed after German surrender, fighting just continued because they didnt know and im not suggesting this is surrender, but must be a feeling that this could make a change and is it worth dying for now
Things could be different tomorrow, why risk my life today
Is Putin still in Moscow?
Wasn't that guy fired from Fox News a while back?
My normal sources don’t even follow Tucker anymore. It’s interesting to hear how his reach has changed with boardsies that use Twitter etc
Dunno how to even unpack this tbh, because MAGA etc. have really pinned their mast to Putin’s russia. Could Republicans policies transform overnight, because those policies are no longer driven by Russian interests who knows.
I wonder if Elon Musk has any advice for Putin.
Kinda interesting how this is all playong out. On the one you have the U.S. and western countries getting their monies worth without any loss of lives of their own but then you have Russia turning against itself and with nukes. Gonna be interesting for the next while.
Can’t wait to see what Tucker says about his manly anti woke Putin. Maybe he’ll have a new role model.
He's just a means to an end, dispensable also. I don't care which way it went, just glad it did tbf.
Sleepy Joe? Hi Donald 😂
Putins day gets worse if Progyzins Channel is in any way accurate
Hope it all kicks off in Moscow tonight, I feel sorry for the minority of truly decent Russians, but the majority complicit in this vile regime deserve a taste of the carnage Russia has unleashed on Ukraine and others
Fox News crediting sleepy Joe Biden government with orchestrating Russia coup
🥹
I commented along similar lines on the Biden thread.
Even if the CIA and Biden wanted to do this, and gave piles of cash to Wagner .. they haven't got the military force to take Putin and Moscow opposed. He has to have support inside Russia. Like maybe if Putin was assassinated, you could pin it on the CIA influence.
Rats jumping a sinking ship ?
It might come as a surprise, but in this instance I'd be thanking the US. So credit, not blame. I'm also about as far as your common or garden CT nut as one can get, though I do keep an open mind on a few things.
The thread will be fine.
But flipping the military makes Putin look weak, it’s a bit like saying we could have flipped you too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was driven by blind impulse.
The Ukrainians aren't sitting still
Dunno, he's a thug and a hot-head, if I had to guess he's trying to perform a coup against the military in Russia (not the leadership). Seeing if he can flip the military to his side and replace Shoigu, Gerasimov, etc with himself. The fact that he rolled into Rostov so easily means he definitely has sympathies on the inside (FSB, Russian military and others)
Of course I expect him to be dead or dealt with in 24/48 hours, but he's made extraordinary progress so far.
Let's hope
Let’s spare a thought for Mick Wallace and Claire Daly, they must be devastated with all of this. Good.
Putin looks very weak in this.
He has to completely crush this rebellion, or he's toast.
Correct. Which is why I am saying they are unlikely to be backing the likes of Prigozhin.
I think there is a lot of support for him and he must of been given the go ahead to launch this. If there only 2 hrs from Moscow very soon they will be 90 mins then an hr away. If there going to stop them they would want to do it soon. No point if there on the streets of Moscow. It's a bit like Afghanistan when the taliban made the final push on the capital and ISIS moving across Syria and Iraq. If there not stopped or its not shown that putin can stop them then I honestly can see them in Moscow by midnight tonight. Air power can slow them down but if there is no one on the ground trying to fight them well it might slow you down but still be in Moscow before you know it.
Denys doing a live chat
Jesus. If true, the situation maps will make interesting reading tomorrow morning
The little gremlin isn’t smirking anymore
+1 KA-52 to Wagner on Russian air force kill count
The west would be backing a more progressive figure if anything.
I'm not sure there's anyone left alive or not in jail, in Russian politics that could be considered "progressive"
