Russian military caught 'looting their own villages' as Vladimir Putin quickly loses grip

The videos of Russian soldiers ransacking businesses show that order is breaking down in parts of Kursk that Russia is desperately trying to defend.

-snip-

Videos from security cameras this week shared on social media have shown Russian soldiers ransacking supply warehouses, pharmacies, phone stores, and clothing shops. Many of the videos come from Glushkovo, a village still under Russian military control.

In one video, a Telegram user films a street in Glushkovo and reveals that every shop on the street has been ransacked and left in disarray.

One CCTV camera also showed soldiers in Glushkovo stealing from a Wildberry warehouse - Russia's answer to Amazon. The camera footage is dated August 23.

Kursk governor Alexey Smirnov evacuated Glushkovo on August 14 - days after Ukraine launched an incursion into the region, while the Russian military stepped in to defend it.

Tendar, a social media account that monitors the Ukraine-Russia war, tweeted a video of the looting, adding: "Just to paraphrase it, this is a Russian town, in a Russian province, INSIDE Russia, and the Russian army plunders it.

"More shops in Glushkovo have been looted by the Russian army. They are picking the town empty."

Backed into a corner (thanks to US bankrolling Ukraine) Putin may strategically fire off a few big ones aimed at the east.

In WW2, the USSR had a scorched earth policy - everything possible was burnt before the Nazis arrived.

Meanwhile, Vlad is wrapping up his Donbass campaign. His stated primary objective is now becoming reality.

The Ukies Kursk offensive? Huge losses, strong rumor of US, Polish and German sheep dipped active military operating there. What is not rumor:
US State, Germany and Polish governments issuing alerts for ALL of their citizens to leave Ukraine immediately….I wonder why?

“ President Joe Biden issued a warning Thursday to any Americans who remain in Ukraine as Russia continues to threaten an invasion: Leave.

“American citizens should leave now,” Biden said in an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt.… According to a U.S. military and intelligence assessment, the Russian military could launch a full-scale invasion, with tanks that potentially could reach Kyiv, the capital, within 48 hours.…”

“ Ukraine tensions: US defends evacuating embassy as Zelensky urges calm…”

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60365017

…….it appears the collective West has gone one step to far in poking the Bear.

What's wrong with the Russian People that they continue to allow dictators to seize control of the country?

Is Russia simply too vast to be ruled by representative government?

Gaslighting and 100% nonsense. The Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia has been fantastically “annexed” into Russia. That is, obviously, 800,000 “Russians” still ruled by “Ukrainian nazis”. How can the liberation of that “Russian” land not be a “primary objective”?

The reality is Russia is fake and Potemkin. It’s useful fool fan bois the laughing stock of the world. Any honest observer with a grasp of the basic facts at hand easily sees the situation for what it is but their delusional eyes never will.

Could take a little longer than that, but they are headed that way if you look at the map.

We “bankrolled” Afghanistan. How did that work out? Ukraine still exists because Ukrainians are willing to fight and die defending their borders, language and culture against a genocidal invader. That is a concept that, obviously, some armchair populists will never understand.

Yep, the Dancing Monkey in Kiev is shrieking happily about stomping all over Russian "red lines" and is flinging his monkey poo in every direction.

I can't see that ending well.
