Russia News and Drama Vladamir Putin Derangement Syndrome (Is he sinking into lolcowdom)

[Onion NullOnion Null is verified member.]

It's been overdue for a thread on the Russian Leader. If Kiwifarms can have one on Donald Trump, we can have one on Putin. Vladmir Putin has been going downhill and it is taking a toll on his physical and mental health. This may or may not have potential but I figure I would get the ball rolling.

His physical health may be deteriorating rapidly with him having to grip the chair support during a meeting with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel. There are rumors that he may have Parkinson's Disease and Blood Cancer.

Ukrainian Conflict
Putin is pissed off at Ukraine (really pissed off) humiliating Russia on the battlefield. So he has chosen a new approach to bomb their energy infrastructure so the country will freeze as winter approaches and it is partially working.

He is genuinely scared that if Russia is defeated in its war with Ukraine it could cost him his life since Russia never forgives leaders who lose wars.

I think he attacked to counter NATO expansion which started during the late 1990s, but occupied only those areas dominated by Russians in order to negotiate with the U.S. The latter is refusing while most countries want to remain neutral.

In Ukraine, mothers and wives of slain Russian soldiers were left furious after controversial President Vladimir Putin allegedly staged a meeting with a group of ultra-loyalist women claiming to have lost loved ones in the war. Putin is believed to have specifically chosen a group who would not complain or ask him difficult questions, while many Russian women were left heartbroken and wanting answers about their fallen relatives.

"I would like you to know that, that I personally, and the whole leadership of the country — we share your pain," the embattled politician declared at the meeting that took place at his home.

"We understand that nothing can replace the loss of a son — especially for a mother," he continued, before repeating, "We share this pain."

The Russo-Ukrainian War, which started in 2014, reached a new level in late February of this year after Russian invaded Ukraine. The number of Russian military members who have been killed in the conflict is believed to be more than 100,000 people.

During the televised meeting, Putin insisted their country "will achieve" their goals "in the end," accusing Ukraine of attempts to "devalue, [and] compromise" Russia's war tactics.

However, shortly after the conference, Russian media was quick to recognize that the alleged grieving mothers and wives that Putin met with were well known loyalists. Nadezhda Uzanova, a woman from Abakan who is a known member of patriotic group Combat Brotherhood, was identified as appearing at several other of Putin's political events. She even sang the Russian national anthem after he illegally annexed and invaded areas of Ukraine, naming them Kremlin territories.

A second woman in attendance by the name of Anna Gerusova was believed to be a wife of a military commisar and Yulia Belekhoba regularly shared her pro war views. It was even speculated that some of the women there may not have children who had served in the Russian military at all.

One woman who was not allowed at the high profile event was Olga Tsukanova, who has publicly spoken out against Putin after her 20-year-old son went missing during the war.

"Do you have enough courage to look into our eyes — openly, in a meeting with women who weren't hand-picked for you…?" she later taunted him. "Women who aren't in your pocket, but real mothers who have travelled here from different cities at their own expense, to meet with you? We are here, in Moscow, and we are ready to meet with you. We expect an answer from you. Are you going to keep hiding from us?"

Russian President Vladimir Putin fell down the stairs and soiled himself this week amid mounting speculation that his health is declining, an anti-Kremlin Telegram channel with apparent links to his security team reported. Putin, 70, suffered the unfortunate fall at his Moscow official residence on Wednesday evening, according to the Telegram channel “General SVR,” which purports to be run by a former Russian spy. The ailing Russian leader allegedly fell down five steps before landing on his coccyx, or tailbone. Although his security guards immediately rushed to his aid, the impact of the fall caused Putin to “involuntarily defecate” due to “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels,” according to the channel. The incident is the latest health scare for Putin, who is rumored to suffering from worsening cancer and Parkinson’s disease amid the ongoing war with Ukraine.

“Three bodyguards helped the president get to the nearest couch and summoned medics, who are on duty at the residence,” General SVR said.“Nothing critical [was diagnosed], the president’s condition closer to nighttime was stable, he can get around on his own, with pain in the coccyx area while sitting being the only thing that bothers him.”The post noted that a special investigation was being carried out to determine the cause of the president’s fall....

yeah, it seemed retarded and self-destructive from the very beginning. He probably thought he was going to pioneer the start of WW3 and be like Hitler. Invading a country is just a really archaic strategy that might've worked in the past.

BRICS could have obtained dominance over the UN by playing it smart, rather than this futile war. Leveraging their superior resources, trade embargos and tariffs punishing the rest of the world, abstaining from using the petrodollar, etc. But no, they want to sit on their ass, with 1/3 of the world's population and oil, and embarrass themselves in a half-hearted war. Throwing pulled punches at an inferior foe, allowing said foe to win. Its literally the worst thing they could have done.

The Pope implies that Ukraine may just have to live with Russia gobbling up part of Ukraine's territory

Ukraine's leaders will have to be "far-sighted" to secure peace, Pope Francis said on Friday, suggesting that Kyiv would have to make concessions to end the war with Russia. The pope earlier this month called for a ceasefire to avert the risk of escalation of the conflict and asked God to "hurry up" to end it. In an open letter released on Friday to mark the nine-month anniversary of the Russian invasion, Francis praised the strength of Ukrainians in the face of the onslaught.

"The world has recognised a bold and strong people, a people that suffers and prays, cries and struggles, resists and hopes: A noble and martyred people," he wrote. He also said he was praying for Ukraine's rulers. "On them lies the duty to govern the country in tragic times and to make far-sighted decisions for peace and to develop the economy during the destruction of so much vital infrastructure."

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week that Ukraine was ready for peace, but only on its terms that would restore all occupied territory. In a newspaper interview also released last week, the pope said the Vatican was ready to do anything possible to mediate and put an end to the war.

I just updated this: The politics is getting even more asinine. The pope decided to weigh in on this.

RadarOnline.com has learned that Vladimir Putin has an escape plan to flee to South America if he loses the ongoing war with Ukraine. The escape plan is dubbed “Noah’s Ark” was first put into place shortly after Putin ordered his forces to invade Ukraine. These escape plans came to light amid reports over Putin’s failing health and reports that the country faces bankruptcy.

According to former Putin ally Abbas Gallyamov (a former Putin ally). Vladimir Putin is considering evacuating to Argentina or Venezuela. Mikahil Kovalchuk (a Russian scientist and official who is the president of the country’s main nuclear research center) initially proposed China as the first choice for Putin to evacuate to. However, this option was dismissed over concerns that China would not cooperate because China doesn’t like “losers”.

While the plan for fleeing to Argentina isn’t known, the other option (fleeing to Venezuela) is probably more likely.

Igor Sechin (a Russian Oligarch and Putin ally) is supervising a project to help Putin flee to Venezuela. Putin has a good relationship with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. After Russia invaded Ukraine, Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro assured Vladimir Putin that he strongly supports Russia and condemned the “destabilizing actions of the United States and NATO”.

This escape plan comes on the heels of an alternate escape plan to the CAR (Central African Republic) where it was reported that Putin had secretly transferred $14.8 billion in cash and gold to the impoverished nation for safekeeping. Russia had recruited former rebels via the Kremlin-linked Wagner Group from the CAR to fight as mercenaries in its war with Ukraine in the Donbas Region. It was later revealed that Russia had abandoned them in the Ukraine starving (having not been paid for months) without supplies or ammunition.

Yes I saw that and corrected it.

BRICS has been doing that, which is why they've been growing economically. The U.S. can't accept that because growing economic strength makes them move away from the dollar, which means less borrowing and spending for the states. That's why they manipulated Ukraine and worked on NATO expansion to encircle Russia and coerce weaker countries.

What's happening now is blowback.

From Putin's viewpoint it's everything or nothing.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that a strategic defeat for Russia would mean the end of its statehood and the end of its thousand-year history. He emphasized that Russia is prepared to go to great lengths to prevent this outcome. Putin also indicated that Russia's proposals for resolving the conflict in Ukraine are subject to change based on the situation on the ground. Additionally, he expressed readiness for peace talks with Ukraine but emphasized that any negotiations must not be contingent upon the withdrawal of Russian troops.

"For Russia, the strategic defeat means the end of its statehood and thousand-year history. Then the question arises - why should we be afraid? Isn't it better to go to the end?" - Putin

Update: “Russia will win this war. It’s impossible for us to lose. If we are about to lose, we will ensure that everyone loses….” - President Putin

Russia and North Korea agreed to provide immediate military assistance if the other side faced armed aggression, under a pact their leaders signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's first visit in 24 years.

The pledge is seen as the revival of a mutual defense agreement under a 1961 treaty adopted by the Cold War allies that was annulled in 1990 when the Soviet Union established diplomatic ties with South Korea.
The agreement for a "comprehensive strategic partnership" signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday is one of the highest-profile moves in Asia by Moscow in years.

Putin announced changes to the nuclear doctrine so these weapons can be used in a conventional war Ultra-low power explosive nuclear devices are being developed. The President clarified that Western experts consider it possible to use such devices in a conventional war, and possible changes in the Russian strategy are associated with this possibility. “ If negotiations are connected with the withdrawal of our troops, which is what the Kiev regime dreams of, then, apparently, this will never happen. Because the Kiev regime does not want to leave power and does not want to hold normal elections in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine ,” he also said. “We know that mainly the Americans and Europeans are pushing the Ukrainians to push our units onto the state border line at any cost, I want to emphasize this, and they plan to present this as a major success 2024 year in connection with the upcoming NATO summit, and then the US elections,” the president said. “Well, we’ll see what actually happens, but this command “at any cost” - and I assure you that it is so, I know what I’m talking about - of course, if it is not based on reality, then it will again very expensive for the Ukrainian armed forces,” he added.

Nothing but the finest hot air from Head Ruski In Charge.

The US Government needs to stop fucking around and simply Duke Nukem already. While we're at it, let's nuke the shit out of PRC's capital and force them into subjugation like we did to Japan, and wipe North Korea right off the map since they're practically worthless.

 

[Boobie Bomb]

Russia finally decided to make something useful for war. Ultra low nuclear weapons are now possible. Basically saying yes we can now use nukes in war just the small amounts of it. Sweet potatoes we are doomed!
