  1. Maybe he should blow up some apartment buildings and blame the chechens again.

  2. This would be the perfect time for a nuclear threat.

    Edit: /s in case anyone misunderstands.

  3. I don’t think he is paralysed. It’s more that the lackeys he has put in to positions of power keep lying to him and for good reason, we know what happens to those who tell the truth.

    Putin is in a mess all of his own making.

  4. hes being lied to about the state of things because he has put yes men around him. This is 100% his fault. So expect more insane peace demands that involve Russia taking Ukrainian land.

    Expect conscripts to be thrown at elite units in Kursk with expected results.

  5. He’s not paralyzed or ill informed. He thinks he can outlast whatever momentum that Ukraine has in Kursk. That’s why they need long-range western weapons to use in Russia. Take out the air defense and then use drones to hit something big. Like the power grid for Moscow or several of the refineries in the Moscow region. Something he needs to draw a bloody win from

  6. People really fall for that line about Putin not knowing about the situation.

  7. Yeah right. But it’s OK, he’s going to die of cancer soon. /s

  8. Could be the russians just don’t have the resources to mount a counterattack without pulling so many troops and equipment from the other fronts that the other fronts collapse.

    russians had so much much equipment stockpiled that it seemed it would never run out. But maybe, the russians haven’t responded because they can’t. They don’t have the troops, the tanks, the APVs and the artillery to do so.

  9. Same thing happened to Hitler. Oh the parallels… Although I doubt at the end of this Russia will became a valued and important member of the West.

  10. He has gone into hiding since that last conference. He can’t figure out what to do. This is a serious dilemma and he has to maintain power in spite of it.

  11. Frozen as a result of a Kursk disaster. Again.

    I guess history doesn’t repeat – but sometimes it whistles the same tune.

    Perhaps Kursk disasters can bookend his regime?

    (I suspect he’s not actually ‘frozen’ as it were… but the (shockingly horrible) poetic symbolism of it all is too much not to comment on).

  12. It shows that he is weackest leader of russia since WW II, And it s not a good position for a weack tsar.
