I believe his bullshit claims are intended solely for his internal Russian audience. He’s desperately holding onto power at this point, and needs to keep pumping the propaganda for the folks at home.
Someone didn’t study history, did they?
How does this translate into Ukranian?
Yeah, it’s pretty much to the point that, if they were careful, Ukraine could do some heinous shit in Russia, leave some semi-plausible evidence, and claim it was false flag by Putin and have a pretty chance of being believed.
Plus Tucker Carlson.
Seriously, I can’t imagine they even believe it anymore. Unlike North Korea, they have open internet

Concur with both statements. I noticed the former, too - I mean, the man is holding up gracefully under unbelievable amounts of stress.

I wonder how nice that would look as a yellow poster with sky-blue lettering? (Or backwards, I’m not a graphics designer.) And no crown, since Ukraine is a republic.
Now, now my Honourable King’s Counsel learned in the law.
The -stans love Putin. Just like their fathers loved the USSR and their grandfathers the Tsar.
This HIJACK ends now. Take it to a new thread if you want to debate whatever this is.
No Warnings but seriously, stop it.
This crap does not belong in this thread. You can probably find a dozen others for it.

Antony Blinken said, Todays attack on Ukraine’s cities is completely unacceptable.
I believe the US has to supply Ukraine long range missiles. There would have to be restrictions on their use. They’re already in place for the HIMARS.
MiGs need to be supplied too. Planes were a important morale booster during the Battle of Britain.
Something has to be decided quickly. The US and NATO can’t just watch as Ukraine civilians die. Words alone won’t stop Russia.

ATACMS today, hopefully PrSM tomorrow.
In my dream world: America gives Ukraine JASSM-ER, TLAM-D, and the Dark Eagle 1,700-mile hypersonic missiles.
I’m slowly beginning to think Ukraine striking Air Bases inside Russia may be acceptable.
That’s the only way to end a lot of these missle attacks.

Fire at the Ostankino TV tower in Moscow:

Definitely, smoking workers are going to be a pain in the altogether for Russia, at this rate…
That would have been acceptable from day 1.
Look you might as well just call the FSB guy in Washington and share the plans with him.
Every weapon used against an enemy is one which drastically increases the chances that the enemy will get hold of a fully functional working one.
HIMARS and ATACMS are old tech. The others, especially the Dark Eagle are cutting edge stuff.
That article is dated Jan 2006 and the byline itself is from 2000. I don’t believe that is current information.
