VLADIMIR Putin has reportedly called in his ex-bodyguard to lead the desperate defence of Kursk as Russian casualties pile up on their own turf.

Ukraine last week stormed into Russia and is said to have taken out so many enemy troops that they can't even be taken to morgues and identified.

In response, a shocked Vlad has given the reins to his trusted old bodyguard, who once claimed he saved him from a rampaging brown bear.

Alexei Dyumin, 51, is now coordinating the defence ministry, security agencies and regional authorities in the rush to save Russian regions from Kyiv's forces.

It's estimated that the Ukrainians have also captured up to 1200 of their rival soldiers in the staggering surge.

Dyumin's standing is such that he's even been talked of as a potential successor to Putin.

"I would say "too many to count". 1160 Russian troops lost yesterday! I don't think I've seen it at 1100 before. Upper hundreds used to be considered a really good day. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You genuinely believe that Russia's much larger army fighting on their own terrain with unopposed air support is faring poorly?!!! Incredible!

[Racketeer]

Exactly. Uh oh, what have we done?

[bert]

There are no enemy lines there

The point of the invasion is to draw the good Russian army on to the roads where they can be annihilated

[marcusmaximus]

Kyiv in 3 days!

[Renfrew]

“Name one Ukie Offensive that has been successful”

Kherson. You spent months saying the Russians would never surrender the city, only for it to fall.

It remains controlled by Ukraine today despite officially being part of Putin’s Russia.

[bert]

What air support?

[bert]

This one

[ransomnote]

The Telegraph article indicates that the publication is unaware that Russia has air support in that region and the Ukraine, once again, has nothing. SO there's a surreal nature to the article as it pretends  Putin is floundering. But elsewhere it the article, there's some information which shows Alexai Dyumin is not just a former bodyguard, but is believed to be potentially Putin's successor and is thought to have led special forces in the annexation of Crimea in 2014. I think Putin is handing him a victory - trapped Ukrainians on Russian soil.

Putin appoints former bodyguard who fought off a bear to lead Kursk defence

Alexei Dyumin, who is considered a potential successor to the president, is chosen to head the efforts to drive Ukraine off Russian land

Vladimir Putin has appointed one of his former bodyguards to lead his personal effort to end Ukraine’s invasion of Russia.

Alexei Dyumin, who guarded Putin during his first two terms and is considered a potential successor to the president, was named “kurator” of the operation to liberate the Kursk region, Russian military bloggers reported on Tuesday.

Dyumin has long been seen as an emerging star in Putin’s entourage, rising to the deputy head of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, and is thought to have led special forces in the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

In 2016, Putin appointed him governor of Tula region, where he gained a reputation as an effective and relatively popular administrator, distinguishing him from several other former bodyguards whom Mr Putin has promoted to senior positions.

In May this year, he was recalled to Moscow and made head of the State Council, an advisory body, in what was seen as preparation for higher office or even to become Mr Putin’s successor.

And the Nazis have zero air support and it’s Russia’s airspace.

[Monterrosa-24]

You and your fellow KGB operatives are now desperate to shore up you Neo Soviet axis of Russia, Iran, Hamas, and North Korea. You freedom haters have been wrong about everything from the start of the 2014 Russian criminal invasion.

Ukraine has achieved the greatest military upset in modern history with its defensive victories and offensive victories in Kherson, Kharkiv, and now Kursk. The eleven-time-zone Stalinist country is constantly humiliated by the one-time-zone country.

Of course, Delta7 continues to serve the boy-kisser Putin with loyalty. Putler will probably reward you with the traditional red-lined coffin for communist heroes.

[blackdog]

This topic gets the weirdos out. I was just stating the obvious.

[DesertRhino]

It truly was the obvious.

[delta7]

You exhibit the terminal stages of the Dreaded Russian Derangment Syndrome.

Fact is Russia has been around long before Ukraine ( 1991) and the US ( 1776) and will still be around till “ the End”.

Best thing you can do is ditch senile Joe’s war and vote for Trump.

[marcusmaximus]

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”

“Ukraine had better watch their six o’clock. Susan Rice is not a military strategist. Being 50 miles inside your enemies lines is very dangerous because you’re likely to be surrounded with no escape, which may be what our neocons wish for? Americans to rescue them and get pulled into their precious “Reset War”.”

A salient is, I have heard, dangerous. Does anyone on this thread with expertise know if there is any serious tactical benefit to this invasion. I don’t know enough to know.

[Monterrosa-24]

I’ve done more for Trump than you. You are just a fake.

Russia is becoming North Korea. Are you still going to cite their non-existent flat tax? Are you going to cite their long prison terms for those who actually practice freedom of speech? Are you going to cite their control of the internet and news flow? There is no such thing as “Russian Derangment Syndrome”. You should admit KGB boy, that there is only Russian realism and that include equating it with North Korea.

[Jumper]

Alexei Dyumin was also a General and his father was also a General. He is a military man and he is being groomed as the odds on successor to Val the Putin.

That the would be successor to Putin is going to Kursk means one thing only. Russia is certian of victory. This provides the credentials for him to win a vote in Russia for president.

Contrast that to our favorite girl, Heel’s Up, who was groomed by Willie Wonka at orgies where she was the jerk in the circle per alleged videos waiting for debut on Pornstars.xxx in October.

America is an unserious country so far into negative corruption. That the DNC is still pushing the Kamala for president meme when Putin has an ACE up his sleeve. Too bad the US can’t just play the TRUMP CARD.

Not really Kievan culture (Principality of Kiev which is Ukraine - 9th Century) predates Moscow (Duchy of Moscow 13th century) by several hundred years. Also, Kievan Culture Kievan Rus is the foundation of Russian culture.

There is no such thing as “Russian Derangment Syndrome”

"Why does Biden keep sending money to Zelensky?"

Because his criminal family, Congressional members on both sides of the aisle, and their big donors are making money hand-over-fist from it.
