Good job Vladolf
I mean...there comes a point when surely these guys have to start to wonder who's next and that maybe their best interest lies in regime change?
I wonder if thats precisely the reason these generals were fired.
So... anyone know why the Ruble is the best performing currency of the year so far ? Despite the sanctions ?
More and more like the Third Reich as time goes on. Its a matter of time for Putin to be done in
Yes I get that, it's a lack of discipline rather than knowledge. Professional soldiers v conscripts with low morale.
Smoke and mirrors

Or you know, the EU supporting both sides.
Just for incompetence, or are they a political threat as well?
Someone as high up as Gerasimov would represent a coup threat if he and a few other top generals were to attempt something. If one were to happen, it would probably come from the military.
They were buying gas before the war too you know.
It was far less expensive though.
True
Nobody is allowed to sell it and some are forced into buying it.
Well yes, I was wondering if anyone thought that might have been imminent. Stupid question really, I guess we will only know if a strong coup attempt takes place, and if unsuccessful perhaps not even then.
Just the most bizarre music choices on these videos. Are these made for Tik Tok, genuine question?
I doubt it would be (but you never know). It would appear more likely Putin is just incredibly paranoid of a coup and is preemptively kneecapping those who he thinks may one day try to move on him. That's the high level guys only. As for the mid tier Generals, he is probably just removing them due to incompetence.
Genuinely yes.
WTF even is that launch platform.
Anyway, Russians in Ukraine are truely fecked. I mean they were already, but this is the sort of systems that can cut things really short, if UA have many of them at their disposal.
Looks effectively like a normal van. Pretty great to cover and hide that.
Someone's gonna photoshop that head on a turtle.
I don't think Hitler ever went that far except for the aftermath of the 20 July plot.
So this will end in nuclear war or russian tv/radio playing Swan Lake for a long time?
This has been answered many times. Their banks have strict capital controls. Which means that most people cannot give rubles to the bank to get dollars, but they can give dollars to get rubles, so the value of the ruble stays high. The same was happening during the Soviet Union, the value of the ruble was very high, but it wasn't a desirable currency, since you could not easily exchange it for dollars or any other western currency.

Stalin has gone further. He killed many generals and lieutenants during the 1930s. And again during WW2 and right after WW2. I guess Stalin is Putin's idol.

Watch them asking that question again in a couple of weeks.
In fairness, not everyone reads every page of this very long thread, so we are going to get a few questions like this from time to time.
Not exactly. Some keep asking that to intend to validate their opinion (rightly or wrongly) that the western sanctions do not hurt Russia as much as the west hopes for.
Greenwald is easily one of the most sincere voice in mainstream media and a brace whistleblower at the same time. If he believes peace talks should circumvent the death count it's coming from a genuine place whether that's actually correct or not. Comparing him to Dave Rubin is beyond asinine.
To this day he still comes on small subscription lefty podcasts to have genuine open ended discussions and help aspiring youtubers launch themselves.
Smoking is harmful for your ship.
Heavy fighting at Azovstal been going on all day today, whether the forces there decided to go for last push or something is changing.
If it was the same guy repeatedly asking the same question then I would agree. I thought those asking have been different posters.
In this case, he might be on to something.
On the other hand, they might be genuine questions?
Edit: Judging by their other posts, maybe not.
Not necessarily related to this thread, but people on twitter tend to do this a lot. It's basically one of the first replies to any tweet about sanctions.
What does a Panzerfaust do? It fausts Panzers! (yeah I know, lazy pun...)
If I'm not mistaken the Panzerfaust 3 is the most powerful non-guided (RPG-like) anti-tank system in use in Ukraine. Totally destroyed the tanks here. But I think most impressive is the area where they were able to use it, as it is an unguided weapon you have to fire from relatively short range, but there is no obvious cover at all
