Putin's brilliant PR strategy to fully exploit the golden opportunity handed to him to address the Western (US) audience is to begin with an autistic ~30 min obscure rant in history-the exact subject that US audience is not interested at all.

Greek mercenary involved in the murder of Russian POWs identified as Tasos Antonakos. Will the Greek government comply with the treaties it is signatory to and prosecute him?

Terrible news from Odessa. Russians struck innocent civilians & then rescuers. This is the work of a terrorist state.
Give Ukraine what it needs to protect itself! Standing on the sidelines against evil is not an option.
He could just mention the contemporary crimes of the Ukrainians from Odessa to Donetsk over the years, long before the war started, or at lest start from WW2 and Ukrainian infatuation with Nazism. But noooooo... Putin had to go back to the foundation of Kievan Rus... 🤦♂️
Yea, I call BS. Ukrainians lynched and burned alive 42 people in Odessa labeling them "pro-Russians". Ukrainian soldiers had no qualms randomly firing artillery shells that murdered thousands in Donbass for almost a decade.
Ukrainians mourned deaths at Beslan, the sinking of Kursk, many other terror attacks and catastrophes in Russia. When the large mall fire happened in 2018, people brought flowers to the Russian embassy.
If you see some other reaction today, think a little bit why.
And here's your annual reminder that Ukraine is merely a breath away from a military victory.
Zoomed maps do not take away from the reality that if a breakthrough is to be achieved on the southern front by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the sea of Azov is mere hours away for a
Russian public's apathy and blind trust to a mediocrity like Putin led to this.. Ukraine's Kursk operation has been a significant operational success and the silence from the Kremlin propagandists is telling..
The Kursk incursion by 🇺🇦 is more significant than earlier thought and its main goal is the capture of the town of Sudzha.
This is not (contrary to the typically dismissive pro-Kremlin bots) a PR stunt.
Ukr have a good chance to consolidate or gain a substantial foothold.
The absolute train wreck of Kremlin (Putin..) geopolitics.
One day Shoigu is in Tehran to dissuade Iran from retaliating vs Israel, even though it would benefit Moscow (raise oil $).
Next day, Shoigu with a grim face informs Putin of the blazing ukrainian advance in Kursk...

They look like inbred degenerate hillbillies that survived (or caused) a nuclear apocalypse .
Might be cool, but nothing godly or heroic about them.
Oh, ffs not another pro-Westerner.
The values arrayed against Russia are part and parcel western ones.
They are the logical continuation of the "Western Christian European civilization".
It is delusion, if not outright idiocy to think you can chose values à la carte.
An interesting quote by the new Russian Minister of Defence Andrey Belousov: 'By preserving traditional values of the West, which are originally the values of Western Christian European civilization, Russia can become a guardian of these values. This may seem like a paradoxical

Every successful Ukrainian attack is a "desperate move" in the eyes and minds of the western Kremlin inaction apologists.
Russian attacks against fortified Ukr positions that lead to major losses, display zero tactical acumen and lead to 300m advances are "brilliant attrition".
In another desperate move, the AFU attacked the Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Plant with drones today, setting fire to machinery inside one of the plant's cooling towers. They've been harassing the facility with indirect fire for years now but have never targeted it so directly.⬇️
From Moscow to Beirut and from Tehran to.. Vladivostok, weak leaders have allowed their enemies to gain the strategic initiative while consistently humiliating their countries...
Yeah, as if South Korea hadn't already provided half a million artillery shells to Kiev and as if Seoul is not a US protectorate that is already in the camp of Russia's enemies. "Powerful takes" lol
@Lavrovskyi
You did not have control over any nuclear weapons of any form. All else is fanciful attempts to rewrite history to serve a current political objective.
If it was MLARS/ATACMS, there is no sufficient cordon sanitaire, except the entire Ukraine.
Only way to stop these attacks is impose similar costs to the ukrainian pro-Banderite population. But Monke and presumably the Russian public are not up to it so these attacks will go on.
The lashing out against civilian targets was expected; only a cordon sanitaire of sufficient depth will protect the city from such attacks that are aimed at demoralizing the population. Godspeed to group N.
So, according to Putin, before the Kursk incursion the Ukrainians *did not* attack civilians?!
What the f where all the random shelling of Donetsk, Belgorod etc? What about the terrorist attacks, or what begun it all-Odessa May 2 2014?
Deluded, weak old man...
Fantasy arrows on Kursk region maps, divorced from the reality of a non-mobilized, largely undermanned for the task at hand Russian army, and a military-political leadership in Moscow devoid of any imagination and willingness to take risks.
More "brotherly people" things, motivating Putin to seek Minsk 3.0. Unless the cancerous tumor that post-2014 Maidan Ukraine is has been eradicated, Russia will not find peace. Perhaps Russians will finally demand that from the slumbering and ever-complacent Kremlin...
Can't wait for Putin to do the "Russia leaves Ukraine in exchange for no NATO" deal when UAF is 2 weeks from ccollapse followed by me ironically becoming a globohomer to cope like

Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal turn up in Kiev, talking up more weapons and more Kursk incursion.
The visit is terrible optics for the USA, as Russia will view the timing of this visit to reinforce the belief that the Collective West was ultimately behind the Kursk
"Russians are worse than cancer".
The only nationality/group where in public discourse in the West it is normal to dehumanize.
That by itself is not infuriating. What is infuriating is the Russian leadership's efforts to gain the friendship or understanding of these people.
The russians are wiping Ugledar off the face of the earth in Ukraine.
russians are worse than cancer, plague and cholera combined.
And the Western bureaucrats are the wrong doctors for the russian disease.
Greeks (well, NATO shills) mocking the Wagner group fighting Al Qaeda when Turks, sponsors of Al Qaeda in Syria, occupy half of Cyprus, managed to destroy the only Empire Greeks every created and still threaten Greece. The amount of worms little Greece produces is astounding..
There never were any *ukrainian* nuclear forces, just soviet ones, predictably under full Moscow control. Similarly the nascent state of ukraine never had its own strategic air force. It was all under the command of Russian forces... A very sizeable ground force? Sure.
Well, it was only the 89013026th time that Putin got duped by his "partners" but it can't be his fault.
One wonders why the Kremlin is admitting this yet again and is left with very unpleasant conclusions regarding the Russian nation.
Interesting: Before Ukraine invaded Kursk region, Putin agreed to Türkiye's proposal to refrain from striking energy facilities, as well as the merchant and civilian fleet, but Kyiv ultimately did not agree to such agreements, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu
What "condones Kiev’s sense of impunity" is the fact that they cross every Russian red line without response.
But the Russian foreign ministry and deluded leaders view the war as a contest of proving "who is in the wrong" instead of waging it to win by eliminating the enemy.
⚡️Tonight an attack by a Ukrainian UAV caused fire in the area of cooling systems of the Zaporozhskaya NPP (

Russia will insist that

❌ Further silencing of this fact only condones Kiev’s sense of impunity
Ukraine has taken control of the city of Sudzha, 85km SW of Kursk.
AFU will try to entrench, and given the reportedly chaotic situation of Russian forces (Kremlin is typically scrambling Wagner et all because it lacks troops), they will likely succeed.

@Suriyakmaps
Why is the Rada still untouched by Russian missiles one wonders?
A fear that the aesthetics of a strike would justify the "Russia wishes to eradicate democracy" narrative and bury deeper any hopes for entente? Putin &co afraid they will be targeted? Largely rhetorical questions.
The Ukrainian parliament has approved the law "On banning the activities of religious organizations linked to Russia", the stated purpose of which is to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the sole canonical body of Orthodox Christians in the Ukraine.
Putin is a liability and a major obstacle at Russia achieving victory in Ukraine because he lacks a concept of total victory.
He views the non-war as a means of applying pressure to achieve a more favorable position on the table whereas Russia's enemies view it as a 0-sum game.
Kursk 2024 is Kharkov 2022 on steroids.
Thunder runs by the AFU against sparsely placed and unprepared light Russian forces, inability of RuAF to achieve air domination or even superiority(!) even above Russian soil, a complacent and stunned Kremlin caught pants down...
Kamala will benefit the Russian war effort as well.
She will fuel the Putinesque narrative of Russia fighting evil wokeness incarnate, and more practically, keep the weapons flowing to Kiev to the last ukrainian. Both noble goals.
I hope Kamala wins so the US will be cringe and childless for the foreseeable future. I'm going to pull reverse Ricky Vaughn and prank based maga blacks into voting for Trump via text messages. I'm sorry, but you made me do it.
@GeromanAT
As long as Putin refuses to fight or even call this a war, the chances are Russia will lose unfortunately.
Ukrainians and the western partners have perceived this weakness and exploit it systematically since the beginning.
The inability of the Russian General Staff to anticipate and prepare for such attacks after almost 3 years of war is staggering and a testament to the idiocy of the Kremlin's non-war complacency permeating the State apparatus.
At night, Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on various targets in Russia. The attack was aimed at several regions, including Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, and Smolensk. One of the targeted locations was an ammunition depot in the town of Toropets, in the Tver region.
Globalization thingy no longer works for the proles (elites still reap the benefits but as Ru oligarchs discovered there are limits to the camaraderie).
In short, geopolitics are relevant again after the fake euphoria of the 90s and the new division lines are "civilizational".
I feel like there's a plan to GHETTOIZE the internet. For Americans to never see the Chinese, for Russians to never see the Britbongs etc. Everyone should be locked in their own pen, calmly chewing on grass, guarded by shepherd dogs. There should be no communication between the
@RWApodcast
It was all a brilliant Greek ploy to survive until Russia became sufficiently weakened so we could reassert our ancient Grecian dominance and reclaim Crimea.
"Putin's the one with an intelligence agency that presumably has high-level insight into actual Western plans"
Putin's intelligence agency and government couldn't even predict the transformation of Ukraine since 2014 and its willingness to fight.
This all raises an interesting question, which I touched on earlier. Pro-Russian commentators often assume that NATO is bluffing with its endless provocations against Russia, and that it will slink off with its tail between its legs if Putin slaps back hard.
What if it isn't?

ICBM technology to comrade Kim-yes.

You can take the Monke out of the cage of arbitrary self-imposed rules, but you can't take the cage out of the Monke.
While that was likely the main goal (holding territory for future negotiations being a secondary but important one), the argument that the current manpower available to Russia is insufficient to pursue total victory holds, and was reinforced by partial ukrainian success in Kursk.
Three weeks later, the idea behind the Kursk incursion doesn't seem as retarded anymore. It was a gamble. If the Russian General Staff had panicked and pulled troops from the Donbass to prevent territorial losses in Kursk oblast at any cost, the Ukrainians could've stabilized
Bumerang APCs and up-armored versions of T-72B3 can be seen.
Opening another front now would be ideal for Russia, even if no "big arrow" moves materialize.
The Kiev regime is at the ropes, ready to receive the coup-de-grace even if more US aid is forthcoming.
Ok, now we can add attacks on nuclear power plants as well to the list of strikes against Russian strategic infrastructure that would doctrinally warrant a nuclear weapons response but when it comes to Red Lines and Putin.. Well, there aren't any!
If Putin agrees to anything resembling the Istanbul agreements he will either be a traitor, an idiot or a traitorous idiot. No alternative explanation.
Kiev has accepted the loss of Donbass as non-critical. And it is-the Maidan regime (not Zelensky necessarily) can easily survive its loss.
Moscow losing territory in Kursk to Ukraine though will put the nail in the coffin of any Russian aspirations to be a major power again.
Niu-York is about to fall and Ukraine is looking at a rapidly shifting defensive situation in Donetsk. With the large commitment in Kursk Ukraine has no way of stabilizing the east. The Pro-Ukrainian information space should be very concerned that if some sort of rout begins in
Precisely. Ukraine's maximalist demands and way of war are forcing even Putin, who would want nothing more than strike a deal with his "western partners", to fight on.
@AndrisIoannis
The great thing about the UA not making concessions is that, one way or another, they're forcing RU to keep pushing westwards.
In other words, even Botox can't weasel his way out by making deals with his partners.
Oh, this really taught Zelensky and his supporters in the West a lesson. Just like Putin's ridiculous 30 min historical rant on Tucker's interview. Botox Monke is obsessed with autistic legalism and history when we live in a "might makes right" dynamic world.
Vladimir Putin gives the Dictator Zelensky a lesson in Ukrainian Constitutional Law.
The Constitution of Ukraine provides for the extension of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, it does not say anything about the powers of the President
Ouch.
The first thing I do in Kyiv is to pay tribute to the fallen defenders of Ukraine over the past 10 years.
They are real heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for the security of our continent as a whole.
We will carry their memories in our hearts and minds.
One has to marvel at what the Kremlin inbreds are smoking.
Ukrainians attack nuclear power plants, organize terror attacks in Moscow, strike early warning radars, use chemical weapons inside Russia and these clowns allow Russia to take blow after blow like a punching bag.
#Kursk
Nothing controversial about this ofc-unless you are a deluded normie.
Jews are viewed as sacred cows of shorts in western societies and the burden of guilt of "never again", masterfully cultivated by Jews themselves, gives Israel a carte blanche to act with impunity.
Can I say something, possibly controversial?
I strongly believe, based on conversation I have had off the record with certain people, that in the US and UK (possibly throughout Europe) everyone is aware that Israel is committing genocide and they will let them do it….
Ukrainian video from occupied Russian territory shows A LOT of destroyed civilian cars. And they released it to patriotic music to brag about war crimes!
Putin was practically begging for a seat at the European table and we slapped him in the face again and again and again because the Western foreign policy establishment views Russia and Russians as ontologically evil.
Before today's Crimea/Sevastopol attack by Ukraine, US intelligence assets in the form of long range drones, were flying over the Black Sea as is the norm before such attacks.
Of course Putin, showing restraint for the 980657th time, refuses to target them.
Watched Putin's address. His "whoever they are they will face retribution/justice" simply doesn't hold true after a decade of ukrainian war criminals not facing justice and a bunch of them-the Azov scum-were returned back to Kiev.
Putin looks like an old, weak man...
Kinda hard without any troops, but such nuance is apparently lost to the pro-Z Western crowd that clings to the Kremlin omnipotence/infallibility myths of its creation.
I've pointed out on many occasions that the Russians have the capability to launch a strategic offensive in Ukraine basically any time they want to.
But what I have not addressed is conditions. What would they want it to look like? How would they know when to "roll tanks?"⬇️
@itslamikisu
Ukrainian soldiers lives and ukrainian military facilities should be destroyed though. So instead, let's all donate and support Grisha's blessed work.
Very well put.
The rotten core of the Russian state, the one that Putin either out of complicity or fear of destabilization continues to preserve could lead Russia to defeat.
Also promising that the BS about "brotherly ukrainian people" are begin to be exposed on TV.
Famous Russian film director Karen Shakhnazarov speaks on federal TV:
"The Deep State is not only in the United States. We have the Deep State too. And it is very strong. It is the comprador bourgeoisie and the culture that this bourgeoisie created. It is also possible that
Could you imagine if Russia would’ve put thousands of small explosive devices in electronics that were then distributed to Ukrainian soldiers and at some point throughout the war of the Russians detonated said explosives, not concerned about where they went off and who was
Hardened hangars *are* ineffective against high-yield and specially designed weapons but are perfectly effective against slow speed and relatively small yield carrying drones, like the ones Kiev is using. This should have been understood by late 2022 but Putin is a slow learner.
Defeatist Russian commentators (the "broenkors" to the pro-Ukrainian "brOSINT") frequently rage over how the Russian Air Force has rather obstinately refused to construct hardened hangars for its fleet during this war.
I think it's because they don't actually work that well.⬇️
A great display of the results of Putin's refusal to mobilize. Not only can't the undermanned Ru army gain a decisive victory in Ukraine, but it can't effectively defend Ru soil in Kursk, while all the infrastructure to defend the region was there...
Footage from a long video from Yuriy Butusov showing a well-built Russian company defensive position in Kursk oblast. He says the position was captured by just 9 Ukrainian soldiers.
Psy ops, strategic ambiguity, waiting game.
Iran's application of Sun Tzu is faultless.
It's driving the Talmudic psychos and the Exceptionalists absolutely nuts.
Damn, it took only a single visit to Mongolia and Putin went all Genghis Khan on the ukrainians.
At least 47 killed in Poltava military facility, estimates of dead in the (many) hundreds, even at the 600 range.
Possibly single deadliest strike of the war so far. Likely Iskander.
Iranians are paying the price of trying to run a relatively open society, in the midst of an existential struggle.
In short, not taking things very seriously security-wise. A similar case with Putin's Russia btw.
Haniyeh's assassination is a product of this incompetence.
🇷🇺 forces are advancing in the Donbass (and other regions) of Ukraine, but they are also undermanned and spread thin.
As long as Putin refuses to mobilize, such incursions will continue to be a danger, and more importantly, no meaningful victory will be achieved by Russia.
@AMK_Mapping_
@BalkCheeseCrit
Yes, many actually want to be liberated. Why is it presumably so hard to fathom? These people view the post-Maidan coup government as a hostile regime and they did that often in contrast with official Putin policy which was seeking ridiculous deals like Minsk...
While it might be cleared soon (unlikely..), the area occupied by Ukrainain forces in Kursk in 4 days, is greater than the area Russian forces managed to control over 4 months after Avdeevka fell.
The same "international community" that is actively arming and supporting said Kiev regime.
What are these Kremlin people on? What sort of idiocy inducing drugs are they consuming?
Is it so hard to accept that their beloved "western partners" won't play with them again?

The international community must recognise the danger the neo-Nazi Kiev regime poses to the European continent.
🔗 In full:
Ukrainian attack of Scalp/Storm Shadow missiles against targets in Sevastopol, Crimea.
All of Putin's half-hearted "we have our own plan" nonsense are empty threats.
Russia's enemies are determined, ruthless, willing to employ any means while the Kremlin gerontocrats jerk off.
Ukrainian war criminals lynching and burning alive dozens of innocent civilians in Odessa already did that.
Putin was in denial of reality for almost a decade, clinging to idiotic dogmas of "brotherly peoples" and similar fantasies.
Russia has made sure that Ukraine, a country with which it shares a common history, is a sworn enemy for generations to come. A putative pro-Kremlin shift in Kyiv won't change that fact. Nor will a democratic turn in Moscow, for that matter.
Israel proved for the umpteenth time today that it is the quintessential terrorist state, indiscriminately targeting civilians with the sole purpose to terrorize them to submission, its actions serving no clear military goal.
The Kursk operation proves that contrary to the nonsense peddled by many pro-🇷🇺 commentators of a supposed imminent collapse of the 🇺🇦 forces across the front, Ukraine, by doing what Putin vehemently refuses to do-mass mobilize, retains ample manpower to stay in the fight.
"Somewhat"😆
Even Putin idolaters begin to see him for what he really is now-a weak old man incapable of making the necessary decisions whose risk-aversion is leading Russia to the brink.
Nah, it's just that they are ruled by incompetent cucks that only act at the last moment or if their position of power is threatened. Both Washington and Kiev understand this and act with impunity.
One wonders if the Russians simply allow NATO to continue drone activity in the Black Sea because it's a pretty good indicator that something is coming their way.
Real talk - if Forte gets shot down it'll get replaced with an RQ-180 or something that isn't easily trackable.

They are neither holding their families hostage nor are the majority of ukrainians some sort of coerced or misguided people. This is kremlin propaganda. They are fully aware of the crimes committed over the years in Donbass, they participated in them and they must be eradicated.

"The Resistance", the gerontocratic Czar, the disoriented mullahs in Tehran and the neo-nobility of Beijing can count their dead and loses in the meantime.
Interesting (in the realm of quasi-sophistry) question about Putin that has a clear answer:
Mobilize population and economy, be sincere that this is an existential struggle, target Kiev leadership. These would be more than enough. But he can't. He just doesn't have it in him.
Those that still claim that the Kursk operation is "just a raid" are gravely mistaken if not deluding themselves.
Ukrainians want entrench themselves and occupy as much a big part of the Kursk region as they can, as a bargaining chip for the upcoming negotiations.
Given that Ukraine has pulled units from the Pokrovsk, Toretsk, and Chasiv Yar fronts—the most difficult parts of the front line—it is pretty clear that Ukraine is not pursuing limited objectives in its Kursk operation.
Instead of remembering perhaps avenging her death would be a better idea-you know, by killing the ones responsible?

This is not just a liberal attribute but a core belief of the Western civilization from its original Christian manifestations to the post-metaphysical Progressive ones.

And you are watching the drone guiding the strikes idly pass by while jerking off and never targeting a single high ranking Banderovets or their kin. So, enough talk, take action or shut up because you just sound comically inept by now.
The US bastards are supplying banderovtsy with cluster munitions and help them to take aim at targets. The Kiev bastards are choosing a beach filled with civilians as their target and press the button:
So, a US-provided ATACMS was used by Ukraine to strike a beach full of civilians in Sevastopol, killing children. No military targets miles around.
But Putin refuses to even shoot down the US drone providing the coordinates or target Ukr elites...
