Putin made a very bad mistake.

And I think he should have retired 10 years ago or more. He would have left in glory. He could have been an international elder statesman, been a regular in Davos, and kept his fortune in London and Zurich.

Ya gotta know when to go. He didnt.


Good post and I concur 100%..... he could have still been dictator for life with a hand-picked successor. He already did it once.

“I suspect it’s been delayed until a better time when Russia’s Far East territories also will be awake to hear it. Many time zones… remember?” That’s exactly why it was postponed. The Kremlin announced as much earlier today. Putin wants all of Russia to be able to listen. Also: Russians are fleeing to Finland. The normally quiet border crossing now has miles of Russian cars waiting to cross into Finland. Another rumor, unverified: High-ranking D.C. pols and senior staff at DoD and other agencies quietly and suddenly left their offices this afternoon without explanation, then left Washington with their families. All phonecalls go to voicemail.

I hear Ukraine is mighty cold in the winter. Them RuZZian boys better bring parkas for the trenches.

You do realize Ukraine is the same latitude as France?

First time ever that Putin has canceled a pre-announced TV address to his nation.

Do you understand that average daily temperatures have a broader range when you are located away from an ocean?

Average daily low temperature in Paris, France in January: 37 degrees F.

Average daily low temperature in Kharkiv, Ukraine in January: 17 degrees F.

It is quite a bit different to be camping out in a trench at 37 degrees vs. 17 degrees F.

Ukraine is also at a slightly higher latitude than North Dakota, which gets cold enough.

All phone calls go to voicemail.

I have occasion to call government workers in Washington on a weekly, if not daily basis. Most have never returned to the office since the pandemic began, and almost every phone call goes to voicemail. Although, they do usually call back.

BS. The speeches are normally delayed to add more importance to them.

The person who passed along this rumor — unverified, mind you — said it was office phones, government-issued cellphones, and personal cellphones, all going to voicemail. Also, all flights into and out of Moscow have been halted “due to weather,” but Moscow’s weather is in the upper 40s with occasional light rain. Lots going on . . .

Problem is, our government is allied with the 4th Reich.

This forum has of four tenets of threads basically

Blogs with humble gunner as the avenging angel perched like a lifelike gargoyle waiting to

Conservative or somewhat conservative sites you can trust or sorta trust

Left wing crap we purloin

The exact same left wing crap purloined on every other issue yet taken as gospel over the breakaways special operations

It makes no sense except those choose media that supports their narrative or whatever

Thin conviction for seeking the truth which can be daunting on this

Bucha

All the fake heroes

Russian is all in

No wait not really

Well now it is cause they’re whipped

It’s an avalanche of subterfuge

And no that’s not the fog of war talked about

It’s a control of what folks are allowed to know in order to control them

No different than big lie or Russia collusion
