The end?

Well, thing is, he is in a position to know this stuff. I have taken it down .... for now at least, because I suspect this one really was not for a wider audience. I might put it up later ... I don't want to compromise him though.
It does make some sense of a few things .... Shoigu doing all the international stuff, Putin largely being invisible since returning from the far east.

It may all turn out to be nonsense but, as I have said before, most of what he comes out with turns out to be reasonably accurate some way down the line. When I first started posting about the Ukrainian army giving the invading Russians a total battering people on here doubted it and thought it was just wishful thinking.

The gist of it, for those that missed it, was that Putin has been got at and is dying slowly from the effects of various radioactive poisons. He chaired the recent security council meeting in Russia and was incoherent/violently sick. Litvinenko'd basically.

Hence the weird power vaccuum.

I was being very tongue in cheek with my comment. I think you know too with the laugh emoji so please don’t take it down 😄

Read it before it got chopped, enjoyed that again.
Fascinating stuff but all rather fanciful as well perhaps.

I still maintain that if he'd been poisoned pretty sure it would have been well publicised if for nothing else it would likely hasten the end of the war

It wasn't your comment that made me take it down, after all they aren't my thoughts anyway. There was just too much stuff that very few people would have access to.

AFAIK this is pretty new stuff to the intelligence services. As he said, outside of a few "close circle" people in Russia, it is not known about over there. And they are all, on both sides, baffled by how it was done and by whom. The original source may of course have been giving duff info.
As a plot line, it would be turfed out by the Broccolis as too fanciful. i get that.

(y) Whatever the veracity still great stuff.
And as you point out some of the outlandish content your source has posted in the past has turned out to be accurate.
 
I missed the removed post but from the little bits above, you’d have to think it would be poetic justice if he went that way, given the way he’s sanctioned the same actions against his ‘enemies’/ outspoken threats to him.

Don't stop posting stuff borolad. The more information we can get from all sources the better. I am sure we all having enough self editing to sort out the good stuff from the chaff.
 
I do like to read this thread but Putin looked very Putin like and quite healthy on the grand address and Q&A he did this week

Entertaining, but fanciful nonsense I think.
 
Obviously nobody would want shared information hindering Ukraines defence, and hopefully success in regaining their borders, but it all makes interesting reading, however accurate it might be.

A lot appears to go unreported.

On one platform Im reading of Russian military ships exploding this morning in Sebastopol harbour - nothing reported eslewhere.

And that seems to be the way of it. How much can we really be sure of?

Indeed, lots goes unreported. And sources like the Beeb are way behind.

I think I mentioned before that he has a friend who he trained serving in the assault on Kherson ... I saw video of her yesterday as HIMARS were launched behind her. But, on the whole, the Ukrainian forces are very good at operational silence when needed.

Nothing that most folk don’t believe will happen anyway (Putin dies) but interesting timing to be saying this so openly? Of course it’s probably just coincidence but -

‘Ukrainian Major General Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the nation's Defence Intelligence directorate, has been discussing the likely outcome of the war in a wide-ranging interview with The War Zone.

……..

Asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will survive, Maj Gen Budanov said: "It's unlikely that he survives it. And currently, there's active discussions happening in Russia about who'd be there to replace him."

@Hap Confirmed by my mate. He thinks 5 missiles from, as he put it, IKEA. This would be a long range version of the RBS 15.
 
Okay, weirdness a go go. Apparently P's plane took off from Moscow last night, with him on it, and headed for Sochi, but instead it headed out over the black sea towards a circling AWACS. Got very close, turned around and returned to Moscow. No explanation as yet.

Btw, the Putin that gave a Q&A session this week was a double. Wrong personnel around him and he did a very un-Putin thing, he talked to people afterwards.

It’s amazing how often the Russian media (and various prominent figures) manage to blame the UK for various spectacular and nefarious acts, whilst at the same time writing us off as a tiny, inconsequential island. It’s precisely why we are at the forefront of various NATO manoeuvres because the UK gets Russia hot under the collar in a way allies like France etc just don’t, this is an advantage we need to hold despite our recent attempts at shooting ourselves in the foot internationally.
