FSB Director Bortnikov and Security Council Director Patrushev are not on board with Putin's mobilization and martial law plans.

[BenLurkin]

Not our problem. Let the Fourth Reich deal with the Russian Empire.

[House Atreides]

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?

[MarMema]

“Potentially announcing”

Same old Russophobic Brits.

[JonPreston]

Keep your Biden the hell out of my wallet.

[McGruff]

When are you volunteering to defend Ukraine?

Sounds like Russia is tiring of fighting the USA and the UK with one hand tied behind their back.

So, they’re going to declare war, I wonder if it will be just on Ukraine or all the ones they’ve been fighting in Ukraine and imposing sanctions on their country?

Let’s see what France and Turkey does, that should be interesting.

Our warmongers will be quite pleased for a while. Some sick people that’s for sure.

More 4-d chess from Putin. First, he makes it look like he’s going forr Kiev (NOT Kyiv). Then, he makes it look like he’s getting his ass kicked. All so he can declare war. And now he’s making us sweat as to how many countries he’s going to declare war against. Ukraine? Poland? U.K.? U.S., all of NATO? Why not India and China, too? There’s a price to pay for turning Putin down!

Any more criminally-insane prisoners for the Wagner Group? Remember, if you can survive six months on the Ukrainian front, we’ll consider a pardon.

Any more T-66s in storage? What about T-55s? Heck, Russia beat Germany with T-34s, only appropriate that Russia should denazify Europe again with those glorious tanks.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Oh gee. It’s not like an American presidential address was always on time

[DannyTN]

Putin speech could be:

1. to declare war
2. to back the referendums that are like a house squatter voting to keep your house.
3. to announce a withdrawal
4. to announce a fake withdrawal in hopes of stopping Ukraine's advance
5. To bully his military with the new "you better not desert or we'll be really angry" law.
6. to tell us all again how the sanctions aren't working.
7. to warn protestors in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
8. to resign.
9. to brag about the 1.9 million Ukrainians including 400,000 Ukrainian children that he has kidnapped.
10. To threaten the US and/or NATO for providing weapons to Ukraine
11. To sack some more generals.
12. To sack the people resonsible for sacking the generals.
13. To increase taxes
14. to tell us again how Crimea is part of Russia and Ukraine better not take it back.
15. to announce the executions of media personnel who started to tell the truth.

There’s a lot more happening than Ukraine -September 24, 2022.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Has anyone else noticed that Putin went from “exceedingly smart and the dangerous man in the world” to “the guy is a complete idiot” in what, six months. I personally, do NOT think he’s an idiot.

[SpeedyInTexas]

Little Pukin waited too long to declare a mobilization.

RuZZian armor losses means those boys from Moscow and St. Petersburg will be riding in the back of a pickup. Or lada.

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

[NorseViking]

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