Absolutely.
Were you aware of this dialog before that video? I was not.
I mean, it's what I've been saying they've been planning all along, but I've never actually seen any video proof of it like that before. That's fucking scary. That means they're no longer afraid to come out and say it. I felt the same thing when Davos started putting their videos on YouTube detailing their plans for the future of the human race. You only start doing things like that if you know you've won and there's nothing that anybody else can do about it.
I've been making people I know watch it. Sometimes you have to force it. A lot of people don't even want to know these things.

The end of Putin’s regime will spring from war spending chaos, former central bank advisor says, amid military mutiny threat and fuel-shortage brawls

Vladimir Putin’s grip on power has remained resilient despite the economic woes caused by his invasion of Ukraine, but the seeds of an eventual decline may have already been planted, according to a former Russian central bank advisor.
A telltale sign is the Kremlin’s abandonment of any fiscal discipline as the costs of fighting the Ukraine war, which is now in its fifth year, strain existing resources.
Alexandra Prokopenko, who is now a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, pointed out in a recent Financial Times op-ed that the war has forced Russia to unwind its long-touted fiscal restraint. https://www.ft.com/content/93d36f56-d950-46ea-a20c-02cdb1a2e672
In a striking example of the turnaround, Russia’s parliament recently gave the finance ministry a blank check to spend more and borrow past its debt ceiling without a formal budget or explicit legislative approval.
That’s as the budget deficit through May is already double 2025’s full-year level, hitting 2.6% of GDP, or about $83 billion. At the same time, Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, which has been tapped to cover budget shortfalls, is being rapidly depleted and just a fraction of prewar levels.
“A cornered autocracy is rewriting the fiscal rules as it goes, cutting parliament out of the loop, and will not admit to dangers it cannot control,” Prokopenko wrote. “It’s less dramatic than a palace coup, but this is what decline looks like.”
The precipitous deterioration in Russia’s finances coincides with Ukraine’s stunning military successes this year. Advanced drones and new tactics have allowed Kyiv to not hold off the Russian military’s attacks but push them back and regain territory. Long-range drones are also reaching deep into Russia, including St. Petersburg and Moscow, targeting refineries and the defense industrial base.
The result has been devastating battlefield casualties that now outpace the ability to raise fresh recruits as well as soaring death-benefit payouts and widespread fuel shortages across the country.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has been unable to defend against all of Ukraine’s drone attacks, forcing companies to spend more than $1 billion of their own money on makeshift protection. But Moscow also refuses to reimburse them.
Putin’s “juggling act” has now come to an end as he can no longer fund his war, keep a lid on inflation, and continue growing the economy all at once, Prokopenko said.
“The war is increasingly paid for by quietly invoicing the population and suspending the state’s own rules,” she added. “A regime sustained this way is heading for a poorer, angrier country, a financial system out of control, and war funding it cannot count on. The end, when it comes, will spring from this kind of decline, the sort that begins long before anyone names it.”
For now, Putin’s grip on power is secure, but public discontent is growing as average citizens buckle under the pressure of high inflation and onerous interest rates.
Russia’s fuel shortage has added to the misery, creating long lines at gas stations with motorists waiting for hours to fill up. Frustration is boiling over, and fights are breaking out between people struggling to buy rationed supplies of gasoline.

In addition, the Russian military’s “meat-grinder” tactics in Ukraine, where troops suffer ruinous losses for barely any gain, are creating a backlash.
In fact, the average life expectancy of a new recruit is about 10 days to three weeks, and once on the battlefield, their survival averages just 20-35 minutes, according to Russian military bloggers.
One Russian blogger, who is a veteran the Ukraine war going by the name Aleksandr Lunin, posted a video on Thursday that went vir

Ukraine’s Navy details multistage operation targeting Crimea

Ukraine’s Defense Forces strikes on Russian logistics in temporarily occupied Crimea are part of a multistage operation that has been underway for years, Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said June 28.
Fuel shortages and lines at gas stations on the occupied peninsula are not the Defense Forces’ ultimate objective, Pletenchuk said during the United News telethon.
“What we are seeing is another stage of a multistage operation. Some may see an emotional response — cutting something off here and now — but that is not the case,” Pletenchuk said.
“A whole range of measures preceded this, and it has taken not months, but years,” he added.
The operation can be traced back to the destruction of Russia’s naval logistics, Pletenchuk said.
“First, naval logistics were cut off — large landing ships. Then came the turn of large railway ferries, which were the foundation of Crimea’s maritime logistics,” he said.
“Then came ordinary ferries, which can also be used for this purpose. At the same time, air defense systems were being destroyed,” Pletenchuk added.
That process also took months, he said.
Ukrainian forces were simultaneously targeting sites along the so-called land corridor connecting Russia with occupied Crimea.
“Everything ultimately comes down to the so-called Crimean Bridge,” Pletenchuk said.
The Navy spokesperson said the operation was progressing “quite successfully.”
Situation in Crimea: What is known
Crimea’s fuel crisis intensified in June amid systematic Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and logistics facilities, according to Ukrainian reports.
Long traffic jams have been reported at the exit from Crimea. Russian-installed authorities have announced the closure of children’s camps, while the tourist season has been effectively disrupted.
Krymenergo, the Russian-controlled energy provider in Crimea, announced “temporary power supply interruptions” on the peninsula June 25.
Drones have attacked Crimea almost every night, with explosions reported in various cities. Ukrainian forces have reported strikes on Russian military sites, power substations and oil terminals.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have also targeted bridges and crossings connecting Crimea with temporarily occupied territories in southern Ukraine.
Russian-installed authorities declared a state of emergency in Crimea on June 26.

In March 2026, Harbuz wrote in an article for Ukrainska Pravda that open-source data at the time indicated 23 Flamingo cruise missiles had been launched. At the time, OSINT analysts identified six missiles that had reached their intended destination, but only two were confirmed to have struck their designated targets. One additional strike remained unconfirmed.
Over the past two months, the number of confirmed successful strikes has increased. According to the analyst, FP-5 missiles hit the Progress plant in Cheboksary, Russia, as well as the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd.
"Over these two months, the number of missiles used increased from 23 to 39. The number of confirmed target hits rose from two to six," Harbuz wrote.
According to the OSINT analyst, the attack on the Titan-Barrikady plant in Volgograd was the most successful in terms of the proportion of missiles that reached their target. Of the five missiles identified from open sources, three struck the facility.

Unease deepens in Russia as Ukraine steps up long-range strikes
The Washington Post reports:
The Kremlin is scrambling to respond to an intensifying campaign of Ukrainian drone attacks reaching ever deeper into Russia, hitting key arms production facilities, destroying an ever-greater share of oil-refining capacity, and causing fuel shortages across the country.
This week alone, swarms of Ukrainian drones hit oil facilities across Russia as well as the VZPP-S semiconductor devices plant, a major producer of components for Russian ballistic missiles in Voronezh, the Dubna Satellite Communications Center near Moscow, and a chemical plant that is key for producing Russian ammunition in Tula.
In Russia-occupied Crimea, rolling power outages were triggered across the peninsula by Ukrainian strikes, and fuel sales have been suspended, causing Russian-installed authorities there to declare a state of emergency Friday.
President Vladimir Putin’s government held an emergency meeting earlier this week on the escalating fuel crisis after gasoline production plummeted 25 percent across Russia during the week of June 15-21 and pushed dozens of regions to impose rations.
As nervousness mounts over Russia’s weakening position and an apparent shift in tone against Moscow by President Donald Trump, Russian stocks have fallen more than 13 percent since the beginning of June — the biggest market drop since September 2022, when a Ukrainian counteroffensive forced Russia to retreat from a large chunk of strategic territory in Ukraine’s northeast.
“There is a state of total uncertainty,” said one former senior Russian finance official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. “There is a feeling that there is no good end to this in sight.”

About six years will pass between Russia’s war on Ukraine and Putin accidentally collapsing Russia.

Putin described the current period as “decisive” for Russia and accused the West of trying to weaken the country, claiming it had failed to defeat Russia militarily.
The Russian leader said “Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield” and claimed the West was now “testing its resilience” and seeking to eliminate it because Russia had “always stood in the way of evil.”
He also repeated the unsubstantiated claim that Ukraine, “retreating along the entire front line,” had turned to what he described as “terrorist strikes” against Russia.
At the same time, he acknowledged that Russia was “adjusting some plans based on the situation” and was going through “a difficult period,” while insisting that the country’s strategic objectives “will be fully achieved.”
