Putin

[pritch]

Morning,
If you just include the links in your post, then we won't need to use a search engine.

Although there were multiple references none of the sources I was looking at struck me as particularly 'authoritative'. Rather than give someone the oportunity to laugh at them I thought y'all could find your own this time.

On other occasions I'm reading this stuff in the middle of the night. Come the following morning I have no bloody idea where I saw it.

Thanks, Pritch.

I used Google (the "authorised" web browser), and doing a quick search, within the first 3 links found the following:

https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-...-craig-copetas

https://nbc25news.com/news/nation-wo...-craig-copetas

I've even managed to save the links for you. Strangely, the article titles are almost identical. What were the chances ?

Amazed me that Putin has so many personal staff. 1,000 exactly (not less or more).

But now that they've all been fired, what is he going to do ? It's not like Putin not to think a few steps ahead.

Thanks, Viking

Both of those links refer to The Daily Beast as the source. Previously I haven't read much Daily Beast at all, although I do listen to an associated podcast.

I heard today Putin averages only 4 hours sleep every night.

Might explain his 'eyes half open' drowsy attitude. His puffy face may be due to that too. Or, is he sick?

Far from intense, keen and focussed on the mission in hand. You don't make clever calls unless you're alert.

He's always been like that. He needs to be taken out nonetheless.

The sooner, the better.

That's not uncommon for World Leaders or CEOs.

That's probably just what he needs!

With the girlfriend and her kids tucked away in Switzerland, and the stress he is under, he could probably do with a nice night out and a good root!

So who, besides Elon Musk, is offering to take him out?

Cheers, Daryl.

There are claims the Ukrainians have killed a fifth Russian general. Much more of this and nobody will want to be a general.

The Pity is that no ones bumped off Putin yet, that'd end this bullshit happening to the entire Ukranian nation.

[pritch]

While some in the US want to give te Ukranians the kit to create a no fly zone, to make the Russian navy fuck off, and to 'rain fire' on their airfields and launch sites, it seems TPTB disagree.

There is concern that this high tech kit might fall into Russian hands, but there are also logistical concerns. Who trains the Ukrainians how to use it and where? How would it be transported to Ukraine, and what would be the reaction if the Russians downed a NATO transport delivering it?

While the Ukranians are doing OK with the relatively low tech kit they have, It''d be good to see what they could do without having one hand tied behind their back.

[Pursang]

It was reported* that the Slovakians will provide S-300's. They are Russian made and the Ukrainians will know howto use them.
The offer was dependent on NATO (read the USA) replacing them with new US made ones. Much like the Polish Mig offer.
The practicalities (and financial realities) will undoubtably be snail paced.

They are deliberately targeting them, trying to get the message through that they can hit them regardless of rank and where they are situated, they are up to 9 high ranking Russian commanders taken out

Yeah, they got the commander of the Russian Black Sea fleet too. His rank was captain but he was the top man.

LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Russia’s business and political elite are plotting to remove Vladimir Putin from power and re-establish economic and diplomatic links with the West, according to Ukrainian intelligence.

A Facebook post from the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine revealed that there was a plan to depose the Russian strongman “as soon as possible” as Western sanctions begin to take their toll on the country’s economy.

The Ukrainian intelligence said the information of a potential plot to overthrow the President “came from the Russian side” in a possible attempt to “establish cooperation” with Ukraine and to “bypass” the existing political establishment in Moscow.

Might be Real or just real good media to rattle Putin a bit more.
