Can’t wait to see what Tucker says about his manly anti woke Putin. Maybe he’ll have a new role model.
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.
I wonder if Elon Musk has any advice for Putin.
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.
Wasn't that guy fired from Fox News a while back?
Is Putin still in Moscow?
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
Putin called Erdogan today who expressed his support for the Russian leadership. I wonder who else he called.
And his dumb followers will lap it up
Weren’t the South Africans cozy with him? Maybe Cuba.
But it has been speculated from day one of the war that Russia could collapse from within. The West have factored this in throughout - it's not an unexpected development by any means.
Plane-trackers have tracked two of his planes leaving to St Petersburg, so it's possible he's left Moscow.
Russian channels are reporting that Ukrainian units have crossed the Dnipro river and fights are ongoing near the destroyed Antonivskyi bridge.
"The enemy has already transferred 3 tanks with the help of a ferry."
How true this- I don't think we will know for now. Could just be Panic after some of the videos Ukraine released.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
I have three thoughts.
1) Not surprised that roadblocks etc have been unwilling to engage a brigade sized (at least) force rolling up on them. It would be suicide. The logical thing to do is to mass a larger coherent force, and that takes time, indicating that if there is to be a point of resistance, it must inevitably be closer to Moscow. The troops will be more inclined to engage if they think they can win.
2) I'm not sure that even if Prigozhin manages a complete coup that the outcome is much better for Ukraine in the long term. Recent statements by him about the original causes of the invasion being false notwithstanding, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, and he seems a rather large lad and I'm not known for upper body strength.
3) What's the fellow running the Darth Putin account going to do if Actual Putin is removed?
Could see China taking a chunk of Russia for 'security reasons'.
Putin made the classic error: attempting a land war with Russia.
Apparently "Mr SS tattoo" himself, Utkin, is leading the Wagner charge to Moscow. But as usual, this is happening in Russia, little can be verified. Most sources on anything appear to be panicked Ru mil bloggers
Things really taking a nosedive from a Russian pov
Interesting theory from this guy, but he admits further down that it is very speculative and that he can't be sure of anything. The parallels with July 20th, 1944 are certainly intriguing though (Stauffenberg trying to kill Hitler in the middle of a war that is going badly).
What we really need is a live cam of the loo-roll section of a few typical Moscow supermarkets - only then will we be able to accurately determine the current threat level 😛
Would ya stop. They can't control the massive land they already have.
Besides, no part of China that directly borders Russia is particularly significant, strategically.
If anyone in the Chinese politburo has a modicum of sense, they'll be right now figuring out how they can be the peacemaker here, to lead and to secure the nukes and stop the fighting in Russia as well as Ukraine. The diplomatic coup is there for them if they want it.
Not to mention all those African nations in Russia's orbit, who are likely about to see their benefactor evaporate. For instance, I'd say the South African government feel a little queasy today.
Oh i know but when you have nukes in the middle of this and Russia tearing itself apart. Putin is after making a big mistake with starting this war, lots dead and for what meagre gains? going to be interested the next couple of hours and days for sure.
Never expected to wake up to this. Not a clue to what to make of it either. Sit back and watch it unfold.
Also if you're gonna post at least check the current and previous page. The amount of the same tweets posted literally 4 posts after it was already posted is insane.
Going to be a long night tonight. Between Wagner gains and rumoured Ukrainian attacks.
I started drinking very early today and I feel like I have a very good excuse to do so.
it’s not every day that russia collapses
Belarus might go as well….
No 3, 😂😂😂 its very true Xi Jinping dosnt have same ring
My gut is telling me that this might all come to a head tonight. It doesn’t look like there is much of a will to halt Wagner, and by morning we might see them at the Kremlin.
But if that happens, where will Putin be? Dead? Making a stand in a bunker somewhere, or pulling a Gaddafi and setting up a new capital somewhere else?
Does anyone remember this? It kind of neatly sums it all up for me as to why this point has been reached, if this is infact the end of Putin.
