Officials have said that the constant explosions deep behind Russia’s lines in Crimea has hit Vladimir Putin psychologically which could now hopefully be the beginning of the end for the Russian despot.
Putin is suffering from a major psychological effect as more than half of the Russian navy’s Black Sea fleet fighter jets blown up in Ukraine’s attack last Tuesday at the Saki air base in Crimea.
The Kremlin’s invasion in Ukraine is currently at a “near operational standstill” and they are looking to point the blame on Putin as he is now finding it near impossible to hide all his failures from the Russian population.
If Putin had a lapdog media as Biden does it would be much easier for him to hide his failures.
Is it similar to the issue we have with “biden”?
Putin is building a network of transportation and trade and working relationships across Asia based on commodities and energy production. The West is being left in the dust.

Life was absolutely rotten before Putin.
Nobody at the Kremlin dares point fingers at Putin, else they’ll lost those fingers and hands and arms and bodies.
One party-rue/one-person rule, means that there is only one boss, and everybody else just shuts up or gets blown up, or poisoned. Sort of like what happens when a democrat whistleblower goes against the democrats in power.
Too many careless Russians smoking around ammo dumps is not something to be concerned about.
And we know how unbalanced and deranged he is. He could launch a couple of nukes and then we have him. There will be no argument any more. He will be known forever as a cold-blooded war monger. [the dead people, destroyed cities or sunk US fleet - a minor cost for a huge propaganda win. Europeans will have finally had it and turn off all of their water, heat and electricity to show him what they think of him].

And since the powers that be in the Kremlin have declared a return to the Soviet Economy - the rotten days are coming again and, according to them, the glorious days of Putin capitalism will not return for at least 40 years.
The gulf between what Ukraine thinks it is achieving vis-a-vis its defeat of the Russian invasion and the reality on the ground is growing astronomically. There are some stark facts that must be acknowledged:
1. Ukraine’s air force is inactive. Whatever still exists is not providing close air support to besieged Ukrainian troops or carrying out aerial attacks against Russian positions.
2. Ukraine’s rotary wing aircraft–i.e., helicopters–also is inactive. Only a few helicopters remain and they rarely venture to the front. They are not hitting Russian truck and tank columns with air launched rockets.
3. Ukraine’s tank battalions are non-existent in the Donbas and Kherson. Ukraine keeps its tanks dispersed and camouflaged to protect what remains from air and artillery strikes.
4. Ukraine has shown no ability to reinforce besieged troops and launch a counter attack that pushes the Russians back permanently.
5. Ukraine has used HIMARS, artillery and saboteurs to hit some key Russian ammo depots, but these, so far, are isolated incidents and have not changed the strategic picture.
I have been a target of criticism for taking on the media and opinion reports that portray Russia as desperate and losing. I do this because it is important that someone try to objectively weigh the facts. Propaganda and misinformation can be very dangerous if left unchallenged. Ukraine is a case in point. If you think the facts I outlined above are understood and appreciated by the leaders of Ukraine, think again. They apparently genuinely believe that they will mount an offensive in southern Ukraine that will eventually expel Russia from Crimea. Why? They believe the intelligence and media reports coming from U.S. and European sources that claim Russia is on the ropes and its ground troops are demoralized.
Ukraine reminds me of a character from the second season of the HBO series, The Wire. Ziggy Sobotka, son of the leader of the Baltimore dock workers, is a dysfunctional mess. He also is Polish. The only thing in his favor is his abnormally large genitalia (he identifies as a man). One day at the port, he is goaded into fighting a much larger, more dangerous man. I think this is an apt metaphor for Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is Ziggy. The other dock workers telling him that he can whip Maui (the big guy) are the United States and NATO. And Maui is Russia.

Before Hitler there was no autobahn.
These objective processes are being opposed by the Western globalist elites, who provoke chaos, fanning long-standing and new conflicts and pursuing the so-called containment policy, which in fact amounts to the subversion of any alternative, sovereign development options. Thus, they are doing all they can to keep hold onto the hegemony and power that are slipping from their hands; they are attempting to retain countries and peoples in the grip of what is essentially a neocolonial order. Their hegemony means stagnation for the rest of the world and for the entire civilisation; it means obscurantism, cancellation of culture, and neoliberal totalitarianism." -- Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
I have no idea what is real or not real in Ukraine anymore, but I have felt from the beginning that quantity has a quality all its own and that is always the Russian military plan.
However, I love your analogy with Ziggy. It would be spot-on if the other dockworkers had not laundered so much money through Ziggy as our elites have done in the Ukraine.
Ironically, we have doubled down on laundering our tax money through Ukraine as it seems like we are giving them a billion plus a week. Got to feed those oligarchs so pennies on the dollar will be returned to our own politicians.
“The situation in the world is changing dynamically and the outlines of a multipolar world order are taking shape. An increasing number of countries and peoples are choosing a path of free and sovereign development based on their own distinct identity, traditions and values.”
It is just too bad horrendous that Putin is unable to reason that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, not a toy to invade and destroy.
Nobody reads your BS propaganda postings u know
**** Nobody reads your BS propaganda postings u know ****
I do, just so I can try to understand delusional thinking.
“If Putin had a lapdog media as Biden does it would be much easier for him to hide his failures.”
I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic.
The US media is bad but the Russian media approaches Soviet Union standards.
