I got banned on UkraineRussiaReport subreddit for explaining this.
He always ignores bad news until he can figure out how to spin it.
I don’t think he is embarrassed. I think he’s behind it.
Election is over and he can blame Ukraine. Next will be declaring War and mobilization.
Chechnya 3.0
Would a US president hide after a major terrorist attack on American soil? Putin is a coward.
At this point, I thought people knew this is how Putin deals with many things. Watch how others react and then take whatever approach gives him the best advantage on whatever he can make use of it.
Tactics!
This has probably nothing to do with the war in Ukraine, if it comes from ISIS, but he’s taking the time to think how he can blame the West and use it to send a few thousand more mobiks to the meat grinder for the sake of capturing one more unknown village in Ukraine and sing victory over it, since their propaganda talked about it for months making it seem like some important city.
TLDR; ight now ISIS is probably the least of Putin’s problems, so he will turn it into something that he can use to mitigate his bigger problems.
Putin is a MF chicken, we all know that. He need to find a culprit before he can show his face and look ‘in charge’, when in reality this event is the total opposite: FSB and security services actively disregard West warnings (which likely contain a lot of details that weren’t made public) and instead only focus on election repression or Ukraine.
And now, the Putin regime is in a quarrel: to address Isis threat, they need people at home doing security, but this mean less people for the front. Do they have the resources to manage both type of threat simultaneously, when they can’t even manage their own border? Will crack start appearing everywhere, leaving huge gap for terrorist to take advantage?
For Russians I can only say: after throwing enough sh*t everywhere, Karma is calling, now prepare yourself to be on the receiving end.
Attack? What attack? There’s been no attack until you’ve seen it on official news programs. Even then you didn’t know amount it till Putin himself tells you, you know about it. Otherwise they ship you off to the Western front
Weakness can be career enders for politicians in democratic nations, but weakness in authoritarian nations are often life enders. And since Putin is now head of Russia for the remainder of his life, you know damn well he’s afraid.
Let’s hope Shitcan was at the opera 🤞
The US gave the Kremlin two weeks fore warning about the attack, and the FSB did nothing.
Maybe because he is sleeping
Seems plausible they allowed it to happen. Why? He just announced a massive conscription for the army. A national tragedy always sets the stage for an increase in nationalist thinking and patriotism. Putin needs that boost desperately right now.
100,000 fresh troops isn’t a small ask, irrespective of the size of the country. With the internal border strife, I think Putin spins this for all it’s worth.
