OT: World Politics

[CH1]

It was all a scam to ensure Michkov falls to the Capitals at #8. This shit happens a few days before the draft. Are you fucking kidding me? So obvious.

 

[zeke]

The media fell for the scam like you did, you don't go from allegedly freeing Russians from Ukraine, fully supporting the war, to turning on your country that quickly without it being a huge psy op.

The western media fell for it. It wasn't done to make the media look bad, they did it to themselves.

Genius psy-op for sure.

It totally accomplished....something, and totally didnt make them look weak or vulnerable at all.

Tactical genius vladdy strikes again!

 

[LeafGm]

you fell for it hook line and sinker you moron

Has your son had his legs blown off in Ukraine yet, shithead?

Few have been more consistently and hilariously wrong about this conflict than you have.

Last week?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Hmmm.

I’m not sure what to make of this.

But some of the leading minds on the stuff (like Vlad Vexler) say it it’s not a psy ops.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Vexler:

Whatever act of the drama we are in, an irreversible politicisation of the Russian space has taken place. Political questions can now be asked, and cannot be unasked, about an alternative to Putin. Putin’s aura of inevitability and legitimacy has lapsed into real politics.

i.e. The large majority of Russian society had been depoliticized, a deliberate regime strategy. But does this episode wake the huge mushy middle? I dunno, the regime still controls the media.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Lukashenko saved his own neck by « “arranging” this deal.

If Putin goes, he’s likely toast.

 

[manny]

There must be more in it for Prigozhyn than exile. This is likely not the end of his story.

Putin is severely compromised now, and embarrassed.
