At least we have a thread to post in. Which is a pretty serious change from the previous answer. Can we just loving collectively do the right thing and follow the rules? I'm sure I'm going to be probated at some point for too much detail in an analysis. I'll use that opportunity to be more editorial and move on.

Jesus.

i just want to say that this is an epic username/post combo

the latter

russian internal propaganda is fairly sophisticated to keep people's attention. there's usually a patsy who is there to say all the bad things you might think, and then get shouted down and made to look like a fool as part of the entertainment

That doesn't sound all that sophisticated...

How credible is this? Do we have independent corroboration?

Completely possible, and likely the only way out for Putin

what kind of tyrant "makes a deal" with his most powerful general who has just challenged his rule, and survives the next 24 hours

Also Putin fled and allowed a hostile force to get to Moscow, where the rich people live. That seems real bad for him if he's not hanging someone for it afterwards.

Do we have any hard evidence that Putin fled Moscow?

Do you realize there are people in America, right now, Millions of them, who have for years insisted that there are two presidents and nothing of consequence has really happened from that mass delusion? People wake up today thinking Trump is still president. People tomorrow will wake up thinking the Wagner CEO is president of Russia. And..... THEY ARE DELUSIONAL

trump's coup attempt failed miserably though, and he was given absolutely zero concessions and many of the insurrectionists are awaiting trial or already in prison

you're pretty stupid if you think the two events are anywhere near similar lol

I didn't compare the events, what Trump event are you talking about? I didn't mention any, only the delusion of people thinking who is president and who isn't.

you literally said there are people in America who think there are two presidents and they are delusional, then drew a direct comparison to what the tweet is saying

it was a pretty stupid thing to say, as others pointed out. just take the L

I'm not talking about concessions, just mass delusion. People wake up thinking all sorts of stupid things and thats supposed to mean something? Like, millions more Russians hate Putin tomorrow and he remains in charge. That happens to Biden on a daily basis. You guys are assigning wayyyyy too much value to being humiliated

counterpoint: i don't think you understand how strongmen like Putin maintain power, and how much that power is undermined as a result of direct and outright humiliations like this

I imagine that quashing existential threats is part of it. It looked like he was facing a serious one four hours ago and now he isn't. I guess call that bottom G, but its survivalism 101. Looks like he still gets to call himself president too.

Lula isn't thinking straight because Bolsonaro was close to Putin, just like Trump.

One of the biggest leftist brainworms is the idea that US foreign policy doesn't change with the party in power.

it's just internet leftists who think that, tbh. you can see some examples of it in these very forums in fact

Can anyone speak to the depth of Russian defenses? If Ukraine breaks through a certain point for example, is there any defense left?
