My theory is that the "shelter" is really just a door that leads into a closet sized area. The rest of the money allocated to actually build a shelter was used to build dachas. Easy way to conceal the deal is seal the door. Genius.

AN A+ OPSTER (:
People bring up the Russian police forces a lot about how they will protect Putin/keep everything in line at home, but is there any reason to believe they aren't all as completely hosed from the top down as the rest of the armed forces and would crumble the second they have anything other than unarmed protesters to beat on?

Russia is running a fine poo poo show even if only a quarter of what is happening is true. With all the disinformation this war has produced I am going to wait for longer before I pass anymore judgement.

Given how the police forces performed during the push on Kiev, my guess is they don't do well against people that can fight back.

It's honestly more impressive if it's completely fake and only exists on the internet, but was somehow enough for the governor to declare a counter-terrorism operation lol.

It's not the cops, it's Rossgvardia, or at least the part that didn't get sent to the front. Though as to whether or not they'd be capable or interested in protecting him is another matter.

This announcement is very funny. I am not sure what the whole point of this incursion would be apart from a distraction to Ukraine's (claimed) near future counter-offensive? It seems like a very risky thing to do that would backfire badly for the participants.

because if the security forces were hosed up, someone else would have replaced putin years ago

it's very typical for dictatorships to have poo poo armies and decent security forces, because if it was reversed, some army guy or junta would have replaced the dictator with their own

see for example how the various arab countries have fared against israel
