Patrushev at a closed meeting of the Russian Security Council: “If we don’t conquer Ukraine now… We’re losing everything!” [sums up all the resources in Ukraine]

1. Patrushev got demoted to a position with no power, strictly controlled by Putin and tasked with a rather odd task to oversee shipbuilding.

2. The ressource they actually care about: populace of ethnic slavs

3. If only they’d thought about fairly trading instead of trying to steal, eh?

4. Everyone should read this especially the leftist academics who were forever talking about the Imperial West and defending Russia. It should be engraved above their desks

5. So it boils down to the fact that they won’t stop. They are all in.

6. Seriously though, what do they lose at this point other than face?

   This was *never* a threat to Russian security, only to Russian imperial ambitions.

   NATO isn’t threatening to attack Russia. It certainly wasn’t before the war – if anything its combat power was slowly atrophying, and this was a colossal self-own on Russia’s part.

7. He said the quiet part out loud. There will be an announcement of his suicide by 3rd floor window later today… the suicide will occur early next week.

8. So… this came from a closed meeting of the Rs Security Council…

9. Is there any proof? I can’t find the source in the “x” post

10. This guy reminds me of Star Wars’ ruthless Grand Moff Tarkin.

11. But your people would ultimately gain everything – join the EU and distance yourself from China.

12. It’s funny how accurate he is:

    * Russia is a fascistic state that only functions because they use fear, intimidation and violence
    * Russia still lives in the 1800s imperialism when it comes to economic and military strategy (1.5mil men at the border of EU is going to do what? be target practice for EU missiles?)
    * Russia will lose everything once they lose in Ukraine, as it did when it lost in Afghanistan

    It’s sad how Russia never realized the new world but instead clung on to the old because of their superiority complex.

13. As much as I think sentiments like this are accurate, just from my own observation and analysis, this source is worthless.

    This is just some random Twitter account, not a journalist or anyone else even remotely credible.

14. Sorry guys, but this seems like BS to me. There’s no source, just a random tweet. There’s not even an indication as to where the rumor may come from. The guy is not even a journalist, he’s a a war veteran (god bless him). Does he know anyone close to this council? It appears to be taken from thin air.

15. Real reasons of invasion; Ukraine’s minerals. And children of course

16. Russia has always been likened to a mob run gas station and always looking to make an offer that cannot be refused.

17. If you (win) as you put these murdering attacks, in my world you will lose very badly.. A curtain would close and no trade would be allowed in any way.. period! 😐

18. What is the point of the UN security council when Genghis Khan has a permanent seat at the table?

19. Russia is now stuck like someone who decided to buy a really bad stock that keeps going down and just cant bring itself to sell so they just buy more every time it goes down lol
