Shouldn’t be too difficult to slip some naughty chems into Vlad’s IV fluids.

Daily mail is like Gateway.

It will happen in October and the immediate aftermath narrative will be interpreted as a Biden accomplishment.

With all reports, I encourage everyone to look up the author, who he works for, its history, etc...

We live in a world of manipulated news, coming from all sides.

This “Russia Analyst” is basically a blogger who works for an EU equivalent of DailyKos or Drudge Report. Not discounting that such sources can offer truth, but if you thought he had ANY connection to Russian intelligence, you would be wrong.

Explain how he can, in his predictions, know that top Putin officials understand that Putin needs to be deposed?

🤣🤣🤣

And how can this analyst know what these unnamed officials believe, or that they believe the war is lost?

🤣

Yet the Azovstal Steel Mill was taken by Russia.

Why do you believe the mainstream media?

The fact is, the Ukrainian army that existed before February 24th, 2022, no longer exists.

Outside of those reduced units still pinned down in the Donbass, it’s mostly barely-trained militia, untrained draftees, and members of the (formerly) inactive reserve, with a thin superstructure of cadre.

Yes, some of them really want to fight, and will. (Some don’t, and won’t.)

But the professional army outside of the Donbass, no longer exists, as such.

Didn't we have the same post here a few weeks ago?
And Putin is still in power and as strong as ever.

Poor Putin.

It is beginning to look like he will die in his sleep - probably with a pillow over his face. If he’s really sick, that will likely be the official cause of death.

In any case, he better sleep with his doors locked and blocked lest regime change find its way in.

Er, yes. Russian officials are discussing a coup against Putin in such a way that the Daily Mail is going to find out about it. Sure.

Even though this is just one analyst’s speculation, I don’t think it’s too far-fetched. Russian tyrants can get away with an awful lot, but they cannot usually get away with failure and embarassing the whole nation. Russia has a tendency to “deal with” those kinds of tyrants quickly and quietly.

The Putinista contingent on FR will be disappointed if something happens to their hero.

Let’s hope that someone in the USSR has some sense and does away with Emperor Caligula.

PUtin is the equivalent of a Mafia thug in control of a country. Those who surround him in power are of the same ilk. Historically, Mafia underlings have not hesitated to knock off their boss when justifiable, and opportunity arises. I’m sure it would surprise no one, if he ended up dead.

Losing meaning what? Russia only controls Donbass and only ends up with a land bridge from Mariupol to Crimea?

If you think the areas under Russian control will ever be anything but part of Russia in any of our lifetimes, you're delusional idiot.

I believe that Eastern Ukraine (which really isn’t Ukraine at all) would be receptive to Russian rule.

I believe that Russia invested a lot more people and materials into this adventure with no back up plan or exit strategy.

I believe that the HOLDING of the territory, even if Putin ‘wins’, will be very tricky, even with a shared border.

So, let me get this straight.

The most powerful arsenal of nukes of the top 3 nuclear powers are under the control of 3 men, each with severe health issues and a desire to consolidate more power?
