Putin and his high command 'are already hunkering in secret bunkers' - -- Russia would use nukes in face of 'existential threat'

Flight tracking info suggests Putin may be in a hideaway near Surgut, in Siberia Defence minister Sergei Shoigu is believed to be in a bunker in Ufa, in the Urals Use of bunkers would be alarming as they suggest nuclear option is on the table

New evidence has emerged Vladimir Putin and his highest ranking commanders are running the war in Ukraine from top secret nuclear bunkers.

Movements of planes used by top Kremlin officials show Putin may be in a hideaway near Surgut, in western Siberia, it has been claimed.

His defence minister Sergei Shoigu - who has been mysteriously absent for several weeks, sparking rumours about his health - is believed to be in a bunker near Ufa in the Urals, 725 miles east of Moscow, according to investigative journalist Christo Grozev.

This theory is backed up by his daughter Ksenia Shoigu, 31, visiting Ufa for an estimated three days from March 22, with mounting speculation the defence minister is suffering from heart problems.

She also abruptly barred public access to her Instagram where she had posed with her baby in the blue and yellow colours of Ukraine.

The suspected use of the high security nuclear bunkers is concerning as it leads to suggestions Putin may be prepared to deploy nuclear weapons, a move that would lead to inevitable reprisals.

If the Rooskie leaders are in different bunkers it could be that they are “concerned” about the potential intentions of their compatriots to themselves.

I think that's a bit more probable. The trouble with being a dictator is that there's always someone "gunning" for your job.

Honestly the russians are so inept, 2/3’s of them would probably blow up on lift off!

Agreed. It's the other third that worry me.

and those would be shot out of the air by our missile defenses. Honestly, the Russians would probably cause more harm to themselves.

This war has exposed for all to see that the Russians are paper tigers. A 3rd rate nation of pretenders.

With biden at the helm in the US and the DS controlling him, I can’t say as I blame Putin.

Nor can I. And all of the causal threads which underlie this sudden primal chaos now threatening us all run straight back to the cowardly, quisling, mincing, faggot, Mike Pence. Roast in Hell, scumbag. You are detested by all Real Americans.

Anthony,

The Russia/Ukraine War distraction is the stupidest thing since Virus Hysteria.

I’m surprised so many “so called” conservatives are falling for it.
Falling for it “hook line & sinker” just like the retards at Daily Kos, Democrat Underground, & The Quora.

“Peas in a pod” Or “Birds of feather flock together?”

I was disappointed recently that the crackers in a carton only 12 months old had acquired an odd smell and taste.

Come on, man! Russia only has about 1,400 warheads on its ICBMs and SLBMs, and if 2/3's don't get off the ground, there would only be 400 or 500 thermonuclear warheads actually hitting targets. What kind of a 'pantywaist appeasing pansy' worries about a limp-wristed "nothing burger" response like 400 multi-megaton H-bombs, all going off at once?

“and those would be shot out of the air by our missile defenses. “

We have a total of 44 interceptor missiles sport. And those have about a 50% success rate in tests.
And they are useless against hypersonic or sub launched cruise.

In the right circumstance you will consider them a delicacy and hoard them like a civil war soldier savoring his Meixan War era hardtack.

Pretty sure Putin is clever enough to stay a jump ahead of the British tabloids.

*shrug* all I see is complete ineptitude!

The russians are fighting a 21st century war with 20th century tech. And as for the “super sonic” whatever *shrug* what do they have 1 or 2 of them? and do they even work? I honestly doubt everything about Russia at this point.

Even Frace could of done better, heck, even Canada! This is embarrassing. Putin has made a fool of himself and shown the world just how weak Russia actually is.
