We're planning to turn all the Russian spy stuff into a podcast and then work on making it a TV documentary. Holy poo poo, dude. Do you ever even like, take a minute and think 'what is my life now?'

i nearly did a spit take of my morning coffee when i read how they got the info, but now i'm kind of depressed that such an openly incompetent organization has been visibly harming so many people, but that nothing is likely to stop them

Holy craaaaaaap. What a world. This is about as smoking gun as it gets, but what comes next? Obviously a troll farm operation about "crisis actor" on the phone, but like internationally.

Kudryavtsev didn't recognise him only because it was early in the morning, and you could tell he was a bit discombobulated. Should have used some voice-altering software like real prankers, imo.

Yeah, I'm amazed by the whole situation and what it takes to prank call your killers who also before that almost killed your wife. I can't think of a better way to hurt a regime obsessed with information control and narrative forming than to make it a laughing stock with bulletproof OSINT info

The internal image should be hurt, putin has spent the last decade building his legitimacy on an image of the big serious man who has no time for bloggers and has a strong army and secret service that makes everyone proud even if there is a lack in improvement in the material conditions for the average citizen. Now it's public that he is a scheming evil grandpa trying to take out his enemies, not just "traitors to the motherland" living in the west but people he publicly derided as nameless bloggers inside too, which legitimises everything Navalny does as a threat to his power

Many believe putin or benefit from all the corruption (government and related workers, business people). Others believe that navalny is kremlin-paid jester, others are even disliking putin but thinking that he's the only one capable of governing russia atm. For those who watch tv and are fed with state info "navalny is lying and has been lying". The amount of paid talking heads - bloggers, radio, "non-state" channels like RT (lmao) telling "the truth" about "navalny lying" is astonishing. The propaganda is working tirelessly and is being poo poo out 24/7. It's like parroting, minds are overwhelmed with information and all that is left is subconscious "the patient is lying and has mania". The part of it is the fact that putler not even once named navalny by name or surname. "Patient", "berlin patient", "character" or "citizen" are his go-to names for Aleksey and it shows. The conscious minority knows about putin and is fighting, left the country or just enjoys the show knowing that nothing can be done at this moment. People are scared.

Rogue AI Goddess posted:Oh, they're both hard-right nationalists, but while Putin is more of a "the ~West~ is evil" dictator type, Navalny is a "migrants are bad, they infect us with Islam" kind. That's beside the point. Putin is a cold KGB colonel who is willing to murder his opponents. Until now I thought that maybe Navalny will not mercilessly condemn his enemies to death while humiliating them, alas!

Meanwhile, Russian parliament has urgently passed a law that imposes a 5 year imprisonment for the most dangerous crime of all: making a rape accusation that does not result in a conviction.

All true, but there is a limit to what propaganda can do when the average person's life has gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Luka controls even more of the country's media and people turned out to be low key sick and tired of him and are now protesting relentlessly. Let's see. Anecdotally regarding the propaganda, even my stalin loving grandma, the "target audience" of the state channels started watching more russian language Euronews because the state channels have too much deranged shrieking and negativity

Half of Russians believe that Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was either not poisoned, as he and Western governments contend, or that his poisoning was stage-managed by Western intelligence services, a poll showed on Thursday. -- Reuters

This blows my mind. The same people who say that CCCP was invincible and revere KGB somehow accept that CIA destroyed it despite KGB and GRU opposing them. If CIA was so powerful why is there any dissention, why isnt every government in the world a vassal to the USA? In Belarusian news EU sanctioned Dana Holdings aannounced that they withdraw from Belarus. This is a very confusing message because technically EU only sanctioned Dana Astra, not Dubai waterfronts, nevertheless dubai stuff withdraws, Dana Astra Remains. Maybe they really do have business in Dubai and want to distance themselves from Astra, so they have better deniability.

The CIA is really, really powerful when it comes to using the brute force of the empire to hamfistedly hold nations under its thumb - but it really, really sucks at anything that involves subtlety or its supposed primary job of intelligence. Those aren't contradictory statements.

I'm not in Croatia so I'm fine. Friends in Zagreb are shaken but OK. I don't know anyone in Glina or Petrinja. Those are very poor parts of Croatia. Damaged a lot in war and suffering from unemployment and depopulation since. It's probably the worst place the earthquake could pick.
