Putin’s propagandists are getting boring.
First it was all “we will crush these Ukrainians in 3 days”
Then biolabs
Then “we are fighting for white Christianity (with Chechen Jihadists killing white Eastern Orthodox Christians)
then “they wanted to attack us so we attacked”
and they repeat the same interspersed with nuclear hints
Maskirovka is a military tactic used to deceive and confuse the enemy by concealing one’s own capabilities, intentions, and activities. The term originated in the Russian military and is often translated as “camouflage,” although its meaning is much broader.
Maskirovka can involve a variety of techniques, including:
Concealing troop movements or equipment by using fake or misleading signals, such as creating false radio transmissions or deploying decoy units.
Creating false narratives or propaganda to mislead the enemy about one’s intentions or actions.
Blending in with the local population or terrain to avoid detection.
Using electronic warfare to disrupt or jam enemy communication and sensors.
The goal of maskirovka is to make it difficult for the enemy to understand what is happening on the battlefield and to disrupt their decision-making process. It can be an effective tactic when used correctly, but it also carries risks, as it can lead to confusion and miscommunication among friendly forces.

What does that have to do with “bluffing?”
I wonder what Ritter’s Russian wife thinks about his adventures at Burger King?
Scott Ritter knew about the children’s prison in Iraq, yet concealed the information to protect Russia’s ally, Saddam Hussein.
To be fair to Mr. Ritter, he was stalking online what he thought were postpubescent (15 & 16 year old) teenage girls, not prepubescent children.
But attempted statutory rape is not a resume enhancer...
(A teenager can generally recover from being manipulated into sex by an adult.
Doing the same to a prepubescent child is orders of magnitude worse. The damage to that child’s ability to function as a healthy adult can be catastrophic. Frankly it should be a death penalty offense.)
Ritter and Macgregor have repeatedly made claims and predictions none of which I can recall have come true but they are the go to boys for many.
The idea that Russia/Putin had no choice but to start this war amazes me
Now I have no doubt that Putin believes all the crap he spews, but look at the facts
Russia as a state and economy certainly prior to 2014 were fine, could have been better but that had nothing to do with the west
NATO has been on russias border for years and no attacks, trade with west and investment in Russia was up.
Even if Ukraine joined EU and NATO do you believe that NATO was going to attack Russia? For what? For what purpose or gain?
Now with that said what was going on in putins mind is another question, certainly his writings and his words about Ukraine and Crimea are well known but does not make them correct, or valid
I guess what gets me is all those who say Putin was forced to do this and the west wanted this, globalists, neocons, nazis,….what was Ukraine and west supposed to do let Putin take Ukraine and then what, does he stop there, what about Ukraine as a sovereign nation?
Basic fact if Putin had not ordered invasion(s) none of this would be happening
Maybe not, but it looks like they are doing a pretty good job at Quagmiring.
If roles were reversed, and Putin was a US president, he’d be labeled a “Neo-Con” by everyone on FR, if they were honest.
By no stretch of the imagination is this special military operation going to plan.
If Ritter wasn’t being paid by RT, he’d admit this.

Man, you are consistently wrong about Ukraine.
Consistently.
Since Kharkiv and Kherson, Russian Shill Inc. (™) has promised the famed "Russian Winter Offensive" (™).Bob/Jon --> any comments?
Except they keep pushing the date back, November, December, early 2023, January, February, now sometime in summer.
What happened was there was a mild winter, that did not freeze Europe into submission, and did not freeze the ground hard. After that, "mud season", распу́тица/Rasputitsa in Russian, or бездоріжжя,/bezdorizhzhia in Ukrainian.
Its why after Kherson the conflict slowed, heavy vehicles can't move around too well.
When Russia is forced to withdraw I expect we will see many scenes such as this for all of the Russian propagandists of this war, except they will be live streamed. All carried out by Russians.
Bluffing is a form of deception.

You will find that “Russian” chauvinists are like ISIS in that the converts are often the most radical.
note that “Freeper” ganeemead is a childish Russian propagandist, probably living in St. Petersburg, and working for the KGB Dis-information Dept.
so don’t take anything he says too seriously ... we don’t
(made your FR donation yet, ganeemead?)
The opposite of Maskirovka.
Deception is drception, no matter how it’s performed. And don’t be so damned pedantic.

You’re the one posting stuff from this guy, not the person you were responding to.
Ten years ago, the forum understood that Ritter was into under-aged girls, had been that way for years. Look up the keyword tags ritter and scottritter to 2011 and 2012.
Here is what the pro-Russian side does not understand. When the likes of Scott Ritter really is representative of the experts on a side, that side does not have any experts.
