Everyone knows that Nicholas II was executed along with his entire family in 1918, almost a year after the Bolsheviks seized power. But long before his reign, regicide was not uncommon.
I hope Russians remember their glorious history by "sending" Putin to his dacha.

Do you REALLY think that a Ukrainian intelligence official is going to say "We're getting our ass handed to us. Losing 500-1000 soldiers every day. All of our major diesel refineries have been destroyed, our train substations have been destroyed, most of our ammo dumps have been destroyed, we have no way of moving troops and ammunition to the front, let alone heavy equipment like artillery and tanks. At this rate our army will collapse in a month." ?
Seriously, dood, get your head screwed on straight. The propaganda makes no sense at all at this point: Russians are really inept but at the same time incredibly dangerous??
It's flying thick and fast on both sides. (Russia says the sanctions only make it stronger, but OTOH they'll only negotiate if some are removed. Huh.)
One of the things that a Russian ex-pat military officer was saying is that this is all game-planned with lots of contingency plans, and involves a lot of math with lots of derivatives in the equations: How fast can we produce and move supplies, how fast cn we degrade the enemies' supply lines, how fast can we move v how fast can they move, etc. It's not just bigwigs pushing little toy soldiers around on a big map with a long stick. I see this as a race to the ...er ... finish. IMHO Russians usually play a long game, but I suspect they have a deadline in mind: to finish off Ukraine b4 the USA gets its feet underneath it and starts to get involved in a real way. I can see us turning this into another Vietnam.
You need to watch this comrade. If you can take bad news.

*snort* You owe me a keyboard!
SIGNYM's BS decoded:
First note: No link to the Russian ex-pat's comments per usual. Sig is getting like JSF, " I heard somewhere something about something...?"

- ex-Pat is saying "We meant to do that... not win quickly. We want to lose slowly, it's more painful and at a greater expensive to man power and hardware. It's what makes us Russian."
Quote: "It's not just bigwigs pushing little toy soldiers around on a big map with a long stick. I see this as a race to the ...er ... finish."
- Gee, thanks Sherlock. You're a military genius. More like a race to the Russian border.
Quote: " IMHO Russians usually play a long game..."
- In other words, they're grossly incompetent. If they can't drop bombs on innocent civilians and hoodwink their own people into being conscripts for their "operation" they got nothing.
Quote: " but I suspect they have a deadline in mind..."
- To finish off Kyiv and Ukraine in one week. Whoops!
Quote: "...to finish off Ukraine b4 the USA gets its feet underneath it and starts to get involved in a real way..."
- 50 billion USD and too many Javelin kills too late. Say hello to our little friends.
Quote: " I can see us turning this into another Vietnam."
- SIG's lame attempt to scare us with a "Vietnam" reference. So weak.

Assassimation in Kiev is not a "manufactured" event, and I have no idea who Blumenthal is.
An Assassination in Kiev
https://warsawinstitute.org/an-assassination-in-kiev/
The main political opponent, who was under house arrest since 2020, was formally arrested. Zelenskiy now controls all media, and Ukraine (being at war) is under martial law

You must have confused Ukraine with a democracy.
There is NO WAY that Kiev's intelligence staff, who brought us the fake Snake Island resistance and the Ghost of Kiev and Russian "war crimes", is going to suddenly start telling truth.
And if you think collapsing governments won't push a Big Lie, all you have to do is look at the Hilter government just before Berlin was taken. Up to that point, Germans were told, and many believed, that there was a secret weapon or a brilliant strategy that would save them, and that Hitler would win.
If you want a more recent example, Baghdad Bob.
Everything coming out of Kiev should be viewed as psyops, until proven otherwise.

THUGR, SECOND, CAPON- no amount of (your) wishful thinking and flag-waving is going to change ground truth. It would be more helpful if, rather than pushing a narrative, you made an honest attempt to suss out reality.

Quote:Finland sent 167,976 Russians to hell, but Stalin learned nothing. Then Finland sent 305,000 more to hell, at which point Stalin finally got the message to leave Finland. How many Russians will go to hell for Putin to get Ukraine's message to leave Ukraine, Signym?

Quote:The parts of Ukraine that speak Russian will either request autonomy from Kiev or request to be made part of Russia. I can't imagibe Russia planning to occupy the western parts for very long. Demilitarize (crush the Ukie army) and de-Nazify. I didn't see anything in there about occupying a hostile territory, and given Russia's history with eastern bloc countries I don't think they have any plans to repeat the situation.

You keep bringing up boogeymen from the past (tsars! Stalin! Hitler!) as if the current Russian leadership has learned nothing from the past. In reality, the person who has learned nothing is you.

Russian state TV: Defence columnist Khodaryonok gives damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine
May 16, 2022 "In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles."

Look below and you can see that Russia blocked this video, but if you look above, twitter still has it.
The woman tried to take this conversation an entirely different way once she knew what he was saying.

Extraordinary exchange on Russian state TV’s top talk show about Ukraine. Military analyst & retired colonel Mikhail Khodarenok tells anchor Olga Skabeyeva “the situation for us will clearly get worse…we’re in total geopolitical isolation…the situation is not normal.”

In this two minute longer version, the TV hostess is trying to shutdown the general. She states as fact that Russia's survival was at risk if Ukraine was NOT invaded:
The Russian hostess' opinion -- "Our very existence is on the line. Surrender is not possible. Finding a common language with those who want us to disappear is impossible. We'll have to go to the very end. We'll get there, our great country will win."
