I'm guessing Putin surrounded himself with yes men that don't tell him the truth, as dictators tend to do; if he gets a more accurate picture of the situation it may do more good or more harm, time will tell
the nature of any regime is that they will self-select conscious or subconciously for sources that matches their worldview and sort out coverage that they don't want to hear. it's like the pink pony problem that Strelkov identified.
See, now putin has insulated himself from the failures of the military. It was actually the people below him who deceived him! These traitors and corrupt boyars are responsible for wounding the fatherland and must be made an example of, and true patriots must be appointed to replace them. Putin dindu nuffin.

This. This might've been believable on day 30 of a 3 day SMO, not on 500th day. No matter how insulated by yes men you are, when your 3 day war goes so wrong it's been months with only loss of territory to show for it, you're gonna start asking question regardless if you're told that everything is going according to the plan.
>it may do more good or more harm, time will tell
Might’ve done good a year ago. Not going to do shit now, if he tries to purge top down, it’ll just further deteriorate whatever morale the russian forces had and I wouldn’t be surprised if generals go rogue to save their own skin by turning bubbling anger of troops back towards putin.
Harm; either he will do jackshit and the bloggers will become disillusioned and eventually start Strelkov posting leading to the prolifiration of negative sentiment against the war, the army and the regime, or he will do something which will send the lying lackeys into defensive overdrive, likely resulting in a sharp increase in interfactional conflict.
And of course, should Putin act directly there is an almost 100% chance he'll overcorrect, like him stepping in to give Wagner Ammo gutted several other offensive efforts and caused the entire Zap line to suddenly lack the ammo for counter battery.
Nothing. They're his employees and their job as state controlled e-celebs is to pretend they know about problems they have no understanding of so they can explain it to a dictator who will pretend he cares and will fix it. Tsar good, boyar bad.
This. It's like his scripted call-in sessions where he pretends he's solving regional issues.
This is exactly what it is.
It's part of Russian internal politics show.
There are problems, but they are not the Good Czar's fault. They are the fault of evil Boyars who lie to the Good Czar. If the Good Czar would only know about your problems, he would sort it out.
These televized shows are exactly that: Pantomine how someone telss the Good Czar that there are actually problems, and then Good Czar says "I did not know of this." and then he orders some Boyars "Get it done!" and they say "Yes, sir!".
And then the people applaud how the Good Czar has once again sorted out their problems, not that they have had their voices heard properly.
>And then the people applaud how the Good Czar has once again sorted out their problems, not that they have had their voices heard properly.
Uh doesn't he need to actually do that though...
sometimes, if the situation is acute. but sometimes he just needs to get lucky and have circumstances improve by chance. when the system is running at its smoothest, positive trends stick to him and negative trends stick to somebody else.
just think of how the public discusses whether the economy has improved or worsened under a certain party or PM / president, in nations with politics dominated by two parties. hysteresis often means that early improvements "made under" the current guy are often, in part, just lagging indicators that have finally made themselves known from the last guy's term.
It's the only way to rule a country. Trump made everything about le culture war and he actually got out of the Presidency ok despite being old as frick.
Obama started his term as Mr. Common Ground and wanted to have a love fest and compromise on everything. It's why he had a super majority in the Senate and the House but didn't ram through vs million changes like they would today, it fricked up his healthcare bill because Ted Kennedy died and then he needed GOP votes. Anyhow, the dude aged like 16 years during his first four years. In his second term he became more partisan and accepted he wasn't going to fix everything, more a political leader than a leader leader, and he stopped turbo aging.

Reminds of this old joke. The rabbi is walking in the park of the israeli ghetto to Relax since, things aren't good repressions are more common etc. As he walks around he sees Shlomo reading " der Stürmer" (Nazi newspaper) he runs over and rips it out of Shlomos hands. "Wtf why readings this rag it's nothing but propaganda Land liesand slander against us israelites why would you support them???" Shlomo sighs and says "you know according to this newspaper we own the banks, we command the elites, we run the economy, we influence culture, we hoard all the riches and flirty with all women. So every time I'm feeling down I read and think hey things ain't going that bad for us israelites"
So yeah he probably wants confirmation that 300 hirmas and 25 Leopards were destroyed and the generals are pessimistic morons. And/or he wants a add campaign to push for more volunteers ands who's better than the smooth brains that followed them.
He doesn't even carry a phone himself, everyone around him carries one and is expected to have the number of everyone he could want to contact. He'll just pick a random member of his entourage and use theirs.
The Kremlin still uses landlines from the 90's.
He's a 70 year old Russian boomer. Supposedly doesn't even use email.
He gets information either in spoken form or on paper, in sealed envelopes. Nothing else.
Unironically no. He's famous for not using it. His only news source is RT and what secret intelligence services decide to show him.
He is too paranoid.
No, anon, he gets info handed to him on paper.
What the frick is wrong with boomers, how can anyone not have realised 20 years ago already that the internet is the best way to get information, sure there's a lot of bullshit but with a little practice you can pick out what is broadly true at least 90% of the time
>It is more of a personality issue, my boomer grandpa refuses to learn anything but my grandma and her friends were really active.
I know people in their 80s who will become angry if you even hint that their favourited TV and radio programmes are not the voice of the majority, correct wise and informed. Anyone who questioned such sources at all would get a wall of rage because you would be in their eyes implying they were less intelligent or informed ironically the same with quanon/pol/skitzos.

Putin doesn't trust anything online. He receives all of his information on paper from his advisors or from TV State news, which is already tailored to support his own narrative.
My mother probably has a better understanding of electronics than he does, and she still asks me for help to open programs and emails on her laptop.

I liked how pissed of he was when talking about the orange revolution

what people don't understand is this whole war is because putin got dunked on so many times trying to install pro russian governments, he's super burnt, petty and salty about it to this day - almost nothing to do with actual geopolitics
It’s much funnier that he seethes so much about Lenin specifically while lionising the broad Soviet period and Stalin specifically. He hates Lenin almost entirely because Lenin lived in Germany for a while and so he sees him as fundamentally Western.
>He hates Lenin almost entirely because Lenin lived in Germany for a while and so he sees him as fundamentally Western.
Chekk'd, kinda funny since Putin was also in Germany, he even brought his first (i shit you not) used washing machine (which he got as a parting gift) from there on the back of his wolga all the way to the Soviet Union
Here is a really good article about how Putin (possibly) came to the decision for this clusterfrick of a war:
https://verstka.media/kak-putin-pridumal-voynu
Basically yeah, the Orange Revolution, Medvetschuk being brought down and Selenskiy not behaving like an obedient house elf to him made Putin really angry
"The" takes a generic noun and specifies a particular instance. "A/an" indicates a non-specified instance. Most country names are proper nouns which are implcitly unique, having only one instance - requiring no article.
Doesn't apply to all the formal names like "the kingdom of X", "the republic of Y" because kingdoms and republics are generic. The netherlands is also an example of this because it's a compound meaning "the low lands" and lands are generic.
I don't see how "The Ukraine" implies it's a province instead of a country
t. ESL
And then to understand why Ukraine demands no article be used:
Saying "the Ukraine" implies that the word ukraine is fundamentally generic, that it's just a borderland and you could theoretically find others on a map, perhaps other borderlands of Russia. That it is merely the one ukraine of Russia that happens to be independent currently. Saying "Ukraine" puts the country of Ukraine on equal footing with Germany, Tuvalu, Brazil, Russia - a single and unique entity, in no way linked to the direct meaning behind the etymology of the name.
If this is even half true, it is perhaps one of the most dangerous turns of the entire war. monke may actually hear some useful, actionable facts and make some adjustments that will inflict even more serious casualties on Ukraine. Anything viewpoint he gets that is outside his current echochamber could, potentially, give him insight into using what resources he has more effectively.
Russia is still over, but this could extend the fighting and make it even more brutal. It needs to be taken seriously, and monke needs to be steered back into his bubble where he can inflict the most damage on vatnikstan.
It's a stunt, he doesn't care about what they have to say, he's just doing this to put the blame on the people who supposedly didn't inform him properly. He wouldn't be pulling off this stunt if he wasn't aware of what's going on.
This is nothing more than a PR stunt, attempting to shift the blame on the "unruly boyars". Every one of his meetings his a scripted event for internal consumption
>PR stunt
Agreed. BUT.
Accidents happen. That's the danger I'm alluding to. monke is doing the most damage possible by staying inside his insulated fart bubble.
BUT. Contact with people outside of it presents a danger that can/will cost lives. The western MIC/glowies need to consider that, and find ways to keep the fart bubble as sealed as possible. monke is the most useful idiot the smarter he thinks he is but the more isolated he really is.
It's still a dangerous moment, no matter how staged. He and everyone he's in contact with need to be caged into their own toxic stupid as much as possible.
Being aiders and abetters of a stupid-ass genocide, I don't view Russian milbloggers as having an abundance of intelligence and certainly devoid of the virtues of actual civilization.
If I mean let's face it /k/, if these "milbloggers" are so smart and like us, how come they can't see the simple and obvious: the Russian system ITSELF created the problems of the Russian military fricking now, and no manner of wanton & infantile barbarism against Ukraine will change the reality?
The system itself must be torn down, Russian milbloggers. And you are either too STUPID or too COWARDLY to say it.
This is nothing more than a PR stunt, attempting to shift the blame on the "unruly boyars". Every one of his meetings his a scripted event for internal consumption
I still don’t understand why TF “military bloggers” are like a national influential force in russia. Imagine if /k/ could pressure the US government into Issuing new 31 round magazines, MREs with burgers in them and have them go on a special military operation to Liechtenstein
The Czar and his inner cirlce (or the Party and its leaders)must be kept blameless, and throuigh him the whole system. All the errors were made by corrupt individuals/spies/etc.
The funy thing is they'Re sjut settign theselves up for teh next desaster, but maybe tehy can stave off civil war for a decade or so.
Didn't this whole thing start with Putin publicly browbeating one of his top spooks for waffling on whether or not to "include the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics into the Russian Federation." Kind of rich to say he was completely deceived by yes men.
Yes, but the Party/the Czar/der Führer must be always right, and will immediately fix all wrongs.
Because obviously, if der Führer/the Chairman/etc. knew how the spies/counterevolutionaries/jews/etc. are sabotaging us they would all be lined up and shot, and then, we wouldn't be losing this war.
The problem, of course, is that even if Putin knows that something is going wrong, and even what exacatly is going wrong, he can't fix jack shit because his system is too corrupt, and Russia's army and undistry cannot actually generate the forces and make the weapons to achieve the stated objectives.
But 'the Army' and 'Russia's industry' cannot be blamed either, becasue tehy are represntations of teh strength of the motherland, so again the system cannot be touched, only individuals will be punished (if tehy're at fault or just set up tp take the fall is completely unimportant)
It's just performative bs. He should have realized something was up when his 3 day special operation went on for more than 2 months and the most important front retreated.
This is just a pretense to shift blame away from Putin and maybe remove some people. A good indicator for the deteriorating cohesion and trust in Putins inner circle.
That said, I can't help but imagine how shit scared the blogger was, who was told to say "Putin said he didn't know about any of this". Insulting dear leader by saying he doesn't know everything must be a scary prospect.
I wonder if this is his set-up to call the war off. Blame all his subordinates for keeping him in the dark and fricking everything up, declare the war over because of shitty boyars, finally stop pouring men and machines down the drain.
Lots of coping going on in here. Even if it’s an act between the boss and his employees, the boss may still get valuable information from his underlings. Of course he might just ask Shoigu about those items later and just be told everything is being taken care of and that’ll be that. But it could also prompt Putin to make an issue out of it and force the system to address it. Nothing here will break down "unity" in any way as Putin himself is just a power nexus, not a leader.
More strikes of infrastructure to make Ukraine freeze. More terror strikes against Kyiv and Lvov. VDV raids into Lvov to try and destroy western arms and ammunition. More brutality against Ukrainian civilians in occupied territories. Small scale tactical nuclear strikes against the Ukrainian spearheads.
I wish I was joking.
I'm particularly looking forward to watching VDV drops on Lvov, myself.
I.e more barbarian bullshit. These mibloggers are as fricking STUPID as the rest of the Vatniks. They are incapable of truly creative solutions. It's all, "More caveman clubs! More terrorizing of innocent people! Nuclear fire good!"
Yes, with "patriotic geniuses" like these animals, Ukraine's got this war in the bag.

I hope so, otherwise he's proud of not melting in 4C.
It's not so much the heat itself, but the humidity.
In Texas, it's a nice dry heat, so as long as you've got a bit of an air flow, it's not too bad and you can't really notice a difference in feel after 30c. The biggest difference is that the chance for a wildfire goes up pretty high, but since Texas is like 80% dust, you don't really need to worry about that too much. I imagine it's like the Southern Spain as they regularly hit the high-30's/low-40's too.
I also live down in the South East of England, but because I live by the coast, when it gets to 30c, the air becomes so humid that it becomes hard to breathe, everything becomes wet and sticky and it feels like you've got this hot, heavy blanket pushing down on you constantly. It's suffocating. Oh, and everything still catches on fricking fire of course because it's all meadows, hills and farmland, so there's nothing to actually trap all this moisture in, like with a rainforest.

In west Texas, absolutely, but in north/central Texas and even down towards San Antonio it gets humid as balls. Its 60%+ humidity outside in Dallas right now and pretty hot (90F).
Its not bad because we can escape the swamp inside, but people who don't carry water and respect the heat end up in the ER. The people who lived here before air conditioning were psychos.

Then revert back to whatever clicking noises and chickenscratch your kind communicated with before the English conquered you and gave you their superior language.
You're a moron that doesn't understand acclimatisation, your body quite literally produces less heat because you're used to it.
I bet you think -5 is cold kek.
28c in bong is reaching high end, I went to Portugal where 35 was normal average day, because everyone just stayed inside in cool houses all day.
I came back and 28c was worse because the houses cook, there isn't shade everywhere, there is no escape or AC and the houses hold heat like a cooker.

Buildings in Texas are designed to be cool. Buildings in the UK are designed to be an oven.
This is literally the least interesting part of the whole thing. The important part is that Putin, answering a question about PMC's (clearly about Wagner) basically commanded Prigozhyn to sign the contract with Shoigu. And a day later Prigozhyn said no. This literally had never happened in Russia. Nobody ever said no to a command from Putin.
Are you illiterate? Putin was asked a question about PMCs and their legality and he literally said that they all have to sign the contract with ministry of defense asap. A day later Prigozhyn posted a video stating that neither him or anyone of his people will sign any contracts with the government.
>Are you illiterate?
Black person you're the one who said "sign the contract" as if there was any context. I know you're autistic but sometimes you gotta understand not everyone has your exact knowledge at the same time as you

How am I angry? I just don't understand what's so difficult to understand.
About a week ago Russian MoD issued a sort of demand to every fighter who is not under direct command of the army to sign a contract with them. Deadline is 1st of July.
Immediately, Prigozhyn released a video telling Shoigu to go frick himself.
Now, Putin himself (this happens exceptionally rarely) stepped in and picked a side in the conflict. Prigozhyn waited a day and released another video saying that he won't sign any contracts.

russian bloggers are a weird breed to listen to. On one hand, they recognise a lot of problems with the armed forces and the war effort, on the other hand, their solution is often comically evil stuff like "execute the commanders for failure" tier.
They're Russians. Even nerds in Russia are demonically evil, on top of having the usual nerd problem of not understanding things that should be simple to grasp.
Think Brain without the charm and way more vodka, and talking about war instead of civilization.
Not to mention they truly believe that russia isn't trying to win and they need to "take the gloves off". Which naturally entails a full strategic bombing campaign against the civilian population and other idiocy.
Are these "milbloggers" fricking high? Russia has terror-bombed Ukrainian civilians; done all manner of horrors, thrown massive amounts of manpower & material at Ukraine......
If Russia COULD beat Ukraine, they would have done it a full year ago.
Yeah, it's absurd but they believe, or pretend to believe, that Russia can use their strategic bombers anywhere in Ukraine and just level whole cities with dumb bombs.
>Zigger e-celeb tells Putin about issues he wouldn't have heard about otherwise >The source for this claim is said zigger e-celeb
Yeah, sure. The only reason monke met with them is because they're his main "opposition" and he summoned them to say something along the line of "You're fricking morons, stop calling for mass mobilisation and executions, we're winning"
Putin fell into the dictators trap where you surround yourself with yes men and sycophants. This resultd in never being aware of what's really happening particularly if something is doing poorly or disastrous.
Yes they destroy anyone they see as a threat which leads to incompetent commanders (these are also yes men who overstate capabilities, project progress, readiness, war games, etc.)
>What kind of tactical or weapons problems would bloggers know that the MOD and FSB didn't tell Putin?
Pic related maybe. Maybe they all looked at minusrus in secret and held hands and cried.
He's questioning Putin's very involvement in affairs around him. He's been fairly consistent about Putin not doing enough since last March when he was demanding full mobilization.
Also those milbloggers don’t seem very useful. They have their own version of coping, ie, the generals are "incompetent" and leadership never "trying to win". If they would just "destroy" Ukraine’s "decision-making centers". It’s never poor quality troops and sub-par equipment. It’s never a lame-duck industrial base. Corruption is never mentioned except maybe in passing. Never the lack of a noncom officer corps.
The fact is Russian generals are probably the best human resources they have in that military, everyone else being a low-IQ peasant. They’re likely already being pushed to 110% and doing everything they possibly can. But in Russia it’s acceptable to call the generals weak incompetent losers just as long as there’s nothing wrong with the government and basic structure of the nation. So that’s what these moronic ecelebs do.
>It’s never poor quality troops and sub-par equipment. It’s never a lame-duck industrial base. Corruption is never mentioned except maybe in passing.
A handful of the specialist channels do this. Mostly the EW and drone guys. They're only just now starting to be noticed by the likes of rybar, though.
>Russian mibloggers to Putin: "How DARE you don't kill more civilians and blow up the homes of innocent people?! Are you even trying to win the war?! REEEEEEEE!"
>the problem mr President is that we are a nation of fatalistic drunks led by an ex-KGB pen pusher elected for his mediocrity but who is now doing some weird Peter the Great larp >why yes of course I'll take tea
nothing lol
it's how czars work, they are infallible and would never make the wrong decisions for the country or people, so the fact that things are going so terribly must be because the czar has been receiving bad information from those around him.
This is either:
a) a blatant attempt of shifting the blame off of Putin (most likely)
b) more evidence that the russian coc is completely broken and everyone is lying to eachother to get some medals and that absolutely nothing gets through to the top.
I find it funny that russians constantly have to choose between "We are stupid" and "We are incompetent".
I'm guessing Putin surrounded himself with yes men that don't tell him the truth, as dictators tend to do; if he gets a more accurate picture of the situation it may do more good or more harm, time will tell
the nature of any regime is that they will self-select conscious or subconciously for sources that matches their worldview and sort out coverage that they don't want to hear. it's like the pink pony problem that Strelkov identified.

So every time I'm feeling down I read and think hey things ain't going that bad for us israelites"
So yeah he probably wants confirmation that 300 hirmas and 25 Leopards were destroyed and the generals are pessimistic morons. And/or he wants a add campaign to push for more volunteers ands who's better than the smooth brains that followed them.
These dudes look crusty as frick. Imagine the smell.
does putin not have internet?
He's a 70 year old Russian boomer. Supposedly doesn't even use email.
Does Biden use the internet?
He only enjoys black and white silent radio
Ah a true man of culture
Brought to you by rich chocolatey Ovaltine via crummy commercials.
Imagine sending spam mail to Putin and it gets through.
>Sergei, i got a real good offer from a nigerian prince!
He doesn't even carry a phone himself, everyone around him carries one and is expected to have the number of everyone he could want to contact. He'll just pick a random member of his entourage and use theirs.
The Kremlin still uses landlines from the 90's.
>and is expected to have the number of everyone he could want to contact
The Elmo hotline is on speed dial.
He gets information either in spoken form or on paper, in sealed envelopes. Nothing else.
Unironically no. He's famous for not using it. His only news source is RT and what secret intelligence services decide to show him.
He is too paranoid.
No, anon, he gets info handed to him on paper.
What the frick is wrong with boomers, how can anyone not have realised 20 years ago already that the internet is the best way to get information, sure there's a lot of bullshit but with a little practice you can pick out what is broadly true at least 90% of the time
Because Putin is a nostalgic senile fricker who came from a repressive totalitarian system where info was strictly controlled in terms of access.
To him, the freedom of the internet is clearly.........
20 years ago Putin achieved peak, by becoming a president of his nation. He no longer had a need to evolve in any way or learn anything new.
I.e he got lazy and coasted.
Ukraine spent 8 years getting its military into shape after 2014.
afaik he distrusts the internet as a western intelligence/military creation
he's a cold war kgb spook after all
It is more of a personality issue, my boomer grandpa refuses to learn anything but my grandma and her friends were really active.
>It is more of a personality issue, my boomer grandpa refuses to learn anything but my grandma and her friends were really active.
I know people in their 80s who will become angry if you even hint that their favourited TV and radio programmes are not the voice of the majority, correct wise and informed. Anyone who questioned such sources at all would get a wall of rage because you would be in their eyes implying they were less intelligent or informed ironically the same with quanon/pol/skitzos.
he literally does not ever access the internet
imagine having to explain monke putin or cat with the hat to poot poot
>Mr President, this image depicts you as a monkey
Not that hard. Also, unrelated, but Monkey Putin's 100 yard stare always makes me crack up. It's as if he's looking at a banana tree beyond his reach.
More like he’s looking right at you looking at him, with that quaint little smile. It’s like he’s saying hello
Tie him down and make sure the FSB do not interrupt me half-way in, and I will delight in doing it.
that cookie shit makes him nervous
he is still using windows xp. Of course hes not connected to internet.
He was using Skype/Zoom/Webex to keep in contact with the government during covid.
If anything it just shows the milblogger conferences are just for show.

Putin doesn't trust anything online. He receives all of his information on paper from his advisors or from TV State news, which is already tailored to support his own narrative.
My mother probably has a better understanding of electronics than he does, and she still asks me for help to open programs and emails on her laptop.
>putin meets with telegram users
what the frick clown shit is this? do they really have that much influence? this feels like the equivalent of biden meeting with a group of redditors or something
>President Biden sir, I created several tiktoks and memes in the most recent format to most accurately describe recent Russian activity
>What do you mean you don't know what a wojak is ?
Didn't he meet with a bunch of lib Twitter people? Obviously not to coordinate a war, though. That would be moronic.
I liked how pissed of he was when talking about the orange revolution
it shows that the rumors are true and he was deeply affected by it
what people don't understand is this whole war is because putin got dunked on so many times trying to install pro russian governments, he's super burnt, petty and salty about it to this day - almost nothing to do with actual geopolitics
It’s much funnier that he seethes so much about Lenin specifically while lionising the broad Soviet period and Stalin specifically. He hates Lenin almost entirely because Lenin lived in Germany for a while and so he sees him as fundamentally Western.
>He hates Lenin almost entirely because Lenin lived in Germany for a while and so he sees him as fundamentally Western.
Chekk'd, kinda funny since Putin was also in Germany, he even brought his first (i shit you not) used washing machine (which he got as a parting gift) from there on the back of his wolga all the way to the Soviet Union
>parting gift
Yes, sure, Stasi motherfrickers fleeing Eastern Germany in 92 were showered with gifts. Bro, he stole it.
>mobiks steal washing machines not because they can use them, but out of cargo cultism because great leader Putin did it
>stealing a washing machine becomes a ritual of initiation in Russia
Here is a really good article about how Putin (possibly) came to the decision for this clusterfrick of a war:
https://verstka.media/kak-putin-pridumal-voynu
Basically yeah, the Orange Revolution, Medvetschuk being brought down and Selenskiy not behaving like an obedient house elf to him made Putin really angry
> Those who do not understand are shown what needs to be understood.
looks interesting
have a nice map
https://images.nationalgeographic.org/image/upload/v1686661727/EducationHub/photos/ukraine-map-side-a.jpg
I don't see how "The Ukraine" implies it's a province instead of a country
t. ESL
Because regions/provinces in the country are usually denoted by article 'the'
Really? Orange county, not The Orange County, Manhattan, not The Manhattan. The Bronx is one of the few I can think of.
not him, but think more like 'the wild west' vs 'wild west' - independent country
The United Kingdom
"The" takes a generic noun and specifies a particular instance. "A/an" indicates a non-specified instance. Most country names are proper nouns which are implcitly unique, having only one instance - requiring no article.
Doesn't apply to all the formal names like "the kingdom of X", "the republic of Y" because kingdoms and republics are generic. The netherlands is also an example of this because it's a compound meaning "the low lands" and lands are generic.
And then to understand why Ukraine demands no article be used:
Saying "the Ukraine" implies that the word ukraine is fundamentally generic, that it's just a borderland and you could theoretically find others on a map, perhaps other borderlands of Russia. That it is merely the one ukraine of Russia that happens to be independent currently. Saying "Ukraine" puts the country of Ukraine on equal footing with Germany, Tuvalu, Brazil, Russia - a single and unique entity, in no way linked to the direct meaning behind the etymology of the name.
If this is even half true, it is perhaps one of the most dangerous turns of the entire war. monke may actually hear some useful, actionable facts and make some adjustments that will inflict even more serious casualties on Ukraine. Anything viewpoint he gets that is outside his current echochamber could, potentially, give him insight into using what resources he has more effectively.
Russia is still over, but this could extend the fighting and make it even more brutal. It needs to be taken seriously, and monke needs to be steered back into his bubble where he can inflict the most damage on vatnikstan.
It's a stunt, he doesn't care about what they have to say, he's just doing this to put the blame on the people who supposedly didn't inform him properly. He wouldn't be pulling off this stunt if he wasn't aware of what's going on.
>PR stunt
Agreed. BUT.
Accidents happen. That's the danger I'm alluding to. monke is doing the most damage possible by staying inside his insulated fart bubble.
BUT. Contact with people outside of it presents a danger that can/will cost lives. The western MIC/glowies need to consider that, and find ways to keep the fart bubble as sealed as possible. monke is the most useful idiot the smarter he thinks he is but the more isolated he really is.
It's still a dangerous moment, no matter how staged. He and everyone he's in contact with need to be caged into their own toxic stupid as much as possible.
Relax. Putin is a STUBBORN moron who still has zero understanding of war.
He already had 2 meetings with these "journalists" before this one.
Nothing changed.
No worries, the telegrams gays he is metting are also stupid and in their own fart bubble. If things change, it's only for the worse
Being aiders and abetters of a stupid-ass genocide, I don't view Russian milbloggers as having an abundance of intelligence and certainly devoid of the virtues of actual civilization.
If I mean let's face it /k/, if these "milbloggers" are so smart and like us, how come they can't see the simple and obvious: the Russian system ITSELF created the problems of the Russian military fricking now, and no manner of wanton & infantile barbarism against Ukraine will change the reality?
The system itself must be torn down, Russian milbloggers. And you are either too STUPID or too COWARDLY to say it.
>And you are either too STUPID or too COWARDLY to say it.
It's illegal for them to say it.
This is nothing more than a PR stunt, attempting to shift the blame on the "unruly boyars". Every one of his meetings his a scripted event for internal consumption
hope ukrainians start now killing russian military bloggers more often.
Capture them and they've got lots of intel I imagine from various sources.
Yeah and all of it wrong
I still don’t understand why TF “military bloggers” are like a national influential force in russia. Imagine if /k/ could pressure the US government into Issuing new 31 round magazines, MREs with burgers in them and have them go on a special military operation to Liechtenstein
That would be too kino for this gay earth.
>Mr biden, our military bloggers have said our army would be better if they went innawoods and everyone should have a skinwalker gf
Shifting teh blame to the gnerals, obviously.
The Czar and his inner cirlce (or the Party and its leaders)must be kept blameless, and throuigh him the whole system. All the errors were made by corrupt individuals/spies/etc.
The funy thing is they'Re sjut settign theselves up for teh next desaster, but maybe tehy can stave off civil war for a decade or so.
Didn't this whole thing start with Putin publicly browbeating one of his top spooks for waffling on whether or not to "include the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics into the Russian Federation." Kind of rich to say he was completely deceived by yes men.
Putin only puts his face on victories.
Yes, but the Party/the Czar/der Führer must be always right, and will immediately fix all wrongs.
Because obviously, if der Führer/the Chairman/etc. knew how the spies/counterevolutionaries/jews/etc. are sabotaging us they would all be lined up and shot, and then, we wouldn't be losing this war.
The problem, of course, is that even if Putin knows that something is going wrong, and even what exacatly is going wrong, he can't fix jack shit because his system is too corrupt, and Russia's army and undistry cannot actually generate the forces and make the weapons to achieve the stated objectives.
But 'the Army' and 'Russia's industry' cannot be blamed either, becasue tehy are represntations of teh strength of the motherland, so again the system cannot be touched, only individuals will be punished (if tehy're at fault or just set up tp take the fall is completely unimportant)
Correct. Putin made this system to enrich his own pockets. He cannot reform it.
It's just performative bs. He should have realized something was up when his 3 day special operation went on for more than 2 months and the most important front retreated.
This is just a pretense to shift blame away from Putin and maybe remove some people. A good indicator for the deteriorating cohesion and trust in Putins inner circle.
That said, I can't help but imagine how shit scared the blogger was, who was told to say "Putin said he didn't know about any of this". Insulting dear leader by saying he doesn't know everything must be a scary prospect.
>Putin said he didn't know about any of this
Haha our great leader is so humble!!!
>dictator blames his own failures on his underlings
and russians will fall for it of course because they're monkeys
I wonder if this is his set-up to call the war off. Blame all his subordinates for keeping him in the dark and fricking everything up, declare the war over because of shitty boyars, finally stop pouring men and machines down the drain.
>Putin said he didn't know about any of this
CLASSIC commie trick - the secretary general is actually a good man kept in the dark by his henchmen
American CEO's claim it all the time
Lots of coping going on in here. Even if it’s an act between the boss and his employees, the boss may still get valuable information from his underlings. Of course he might just ask Shoigu about those items later and just be told everything is being taken care of and that’ll be that. But it could also prompt Putin to make an issue out of it and force the system to address it. Nothing here will break down "unity" in any way as Putin himself is just a power nexus, not a leader.
Uh, what EXACTLY have these Milbloggers recommended for the war again?
MOAR human waves I assume?
More strikes of infrastructure to make Ukraine freeze. More terror strikes against Kyiv and Lvov. VDV raids into Lvov to try and destroy western arms and ammunition. More brutality against Ukrainian civilians in occupied territories. Small scale tactical nuclear strikes against the Ukrainian spearheads.
I wish I was joking.
I'm particularly looking forward to watching VDV drops on Lvov, myself.
I.e more barbarian bullshit. These mibloggers are as fricking STUPID as the rest of the Vatniks. They are incapable of truly creative solutions. It's all, "More caveman clubs! More terrorizing of innocent people! Nuclear fire good!"
Yes, with "patriotic geniuses" like these animals, Ukraine's got this war in the bag.
>more unsupported vdv drops
>but this time we get 1080p gopro footage and drone drop videos
If someone took out my air conditioning right now I would fully support a genocide against them
Based. 28°c in southern England is hell
>It's gunna hit 40 in most of Texas today
>Some parts gunna hit 100% humidity as well
>Heat advisories issued in most cities, poors can shelter at librarys for the ac
>Oh lad 28 a bit spiffy innit
You best quiet down with your b***hing.
Why the frick do people even live there? It doesn't sound like a place for humans.
The English aren't humans.
Clearly I meant Texas. 40 degrees (presumably Celsius) with high humidity sounds completely unbearable.
I hope so, otherwise he's proud of not melting in 4C.
It's not so much the heat itself, but the humidity.
In Texas, it's a nice dry heat, so as long as you've got a bit of an air flow, it's not too bad and you can't really notice a difference in feel after 30c. The biggest difference is that the chance for a wildfire goes up pretty high, but since Texas is like 80% dust, you don't really need to worry about that too much. I imagine it's like the Southern Spain as they regularly hit the high-30's/low-40's too.
I also live down in the South East of England, but because I live by the coast, when it gets to 30c, the air becomes so humid that it becomes hard to breathe, everything becomes wet and sticky and it feels like you've got this hot, heavy blanket pushing down on you constantly. It's suffocating. Oh, and everything still catches on fricking fire of course because it's all meadows, hills and farmland, so there's nothing to actually trap all this moisture in, like with a rainforest.

Pretty much that. I don't mean to b***h and moan when others have it worse but Jesus our little island isn't built for this.
Houses very rarely have AC, and there's barely any airflow
>be Ozgay
>goto britland during heatwave
>Jesus your houses are ovens
>spend all time outdoors
>don’t get sunburnt cause you IV index is low and weird
That was the weirdest thing, walking around in 35c heat and every nerve in my body is going “my dude you are getting roasted, this temp the sun will frick you up” and then getting home and no burns, no tan, skin isn’t even pinkish.
Fricking whack
>In Texas, it's a nice dry heat
In west Texas, absolutely, but in north/central Texas and even down towards San Antonio it gets humid as balls. Its 60%+ humidity outside in Dallas right now and pretty hot (90F).
Its not bad because we can escape the swamp inside, but people who don't carry water and respect the heat end up in the ER. The people who lived here before air conditioning were psychos.
Then revert back to whatever clicking noises and chickenscratch your kind communicated with before the English conquered you and gave you their superior language.
>h-houses are built differently in diffrent parts of the world whaa???
You're a moron that doesn't understand acclimatisation, your body quite literally produces less heat because you're used to it.
I bet you think -5 is cold kek.
28c in bong is reaching high end, I went to Portugal where 35 was normal average day, because everyone just stayed inside in cool houses all day.
I came back and 28c was worse because the houses cook, there isn't shade everywhere, there is no escape or AC and the houses hold heat like a cooker.
>28°c
Buildings in Texas are designed to be cool. Buildings in the UK are designed to be an oven.
You think you can make a building that’s comfortable at 40c?
In the Canary islands they build houses into hillsides, and those are very cool. The temperature outside can nudge 45 but inside it's a nice 16
This is literally the least interesting part of the whole thing. The important part is that Putin, answering a question about PMC's (clearly about Wagner) basically commanded Prigozhyn to sign the contract with Shoigu. And a day later Prigozhyn said no. This literally had never happened in Russia. Nobody ever said no to a command from Putin.
What the frick are you talking about
Are you illiterate? Putin was asked a question about PMCs and their legality and he literally said that they all have to sign the contract with ministry of defense asap. A day later Prigozhyn posted a video stating that neither him or anyone of his people will sign any contracts with the government.
>Are you illiterate?
Black person you're the one who said "sign the contract" as if there was any context. I know you're autistic but sometimes you gotta understand not everyone has your exact knowledge at the same time as you
>I don't understand what signing a contract with the army means
I can't even comprehend how can this be misunderstood.
>a contract
You said "the contract". Words are important, they convey meaning, No more (you)s since you're just gonna get more and more angry
How am I angry? I just don't understand what's so difficult to understand.
About a week ago Russian MoD issued a sort of demand to every fighter who is not under direct command of the army to sign a contract with them. Deadline is 1st of July.
Immediately, Prigozhyn released a video telling Shoigu to go frick himself.
Now, Putin himself (this happens exceptionally rarely) stepped in and picked a side in the conflict. Prigozhyn waited a day and released another video saying that he won't sign any contracts.
Pringles better get out of Russia with his private army. They're going to try to kill him, lol.
Priggy is 100% setting himself up to take a run at the presidency with all the videos he makes
At ANY rate guys, will Wagner and the Russian military fight each other in open war?
Nah, Shoigu will come to Prigozhin begging him to lead the army against Putin.
No way. They hate each other too much. They might kill Putin together but they'll immediately try to murder each other afterward.
Eventually yeah. That'll happen when Russia is forced to accept a humiliating peace and descends into warlordism
Doesn't Shoigu have his own PMC too?
He does have his own PMC. So does the Russian orthodox church in Moscow I think. So does Gazprom.
>Russia devolves into the first corporate warlord conflict
we really are in the nightmare cyberpunk timeline
Russia earned it. Genocidal fricks could burn in hell, except they're already there.
Gazprom forces will win, my money is on them.
But will Putin be stupid enough to order the military to attack Wagner?
I am so hoping it leads to civil war (i.e Putin ordering the Russian military to FORCE Wagner into the fold, and Wagner violently resisting).
russian bloggers are a weird breed to listen to. On one hand, they recognise a lot of problems with the armed forces and the war effort, on the other hand, their solution is often comically evil stuff like "execute the commanders for failure" tier.
They're Russians. Even nerds in Russia are demonically evil, on top of having the usual nerd problem of not understanding things that should be simple to grasp.
Think Brain without the charm and way more vodka, and talking about war instead of civilization.
Yes Russian mibloggers, now I mock YOU.
>avatargay
>cringe and moronic
Not to mention they truly believe that russia isn't trying to win and they need to "take the gloves off". Which naturally entails a full strategic bombing campaign against the civilian population and other idiocy.
>Russia isn't trying to win
Are these "milbloggers" fricking high? Russia has terror-bombed Ukrainian civilians; done all manner of horrors, thrown massive amounts of manpower & material at Ukraine......
If Russia COULD beat Ukraine, they would have done it a full year ago.
Yeah, it's absurd but they believe, or pretend to believe, that Russia can use their strategic bombers anywhere in Ukraine and just level whole cities with dumb bombs.
>"Why don't we just bomb Ukraine with our huge bombers?"
Uh, maybe because Ukraine's AA would tear them all to shreds, you inbred freaks someone slapped an intellectual's glasses on?
>Muh Boyars
This is a political play. Basically what Monke is saying is that this isn't his fault at all but of his subordinates who lied to him.
>What kind of tactical or weapons problems would bloggers know that the MOD and FSB didn't tell Putin?
>Zigger e-celeb tells Putin about issues he wouldn't have heard about otherwise
>The source for this claim is said zigger e-celeb
Yeah, sure. The only reason monke met with them is because they're his main "opposition" and he summoned them to say something along the line of "You're fricking morons, stop calling for mass mobilisation and executions, we're winning"
Putin fell into the dictators trap where you surround yourself with yes men and sycophants. This resultd in never being aware of what's really happening particularly if something is doing poorly or disastrous.
Well that and he killed a LOT of officers.
Yes they destroy anyone they see as a threat which leads to incompetent commanders (these are also yes men who overstate capabilities, project progress, readiness, war games, etc.)
Different priorities than in a country fighting for national & cultural survival, where competence is essential.
>What kind of tactical or weapons problems would bloggers know that the MOD and FSB didn't tell Putin?
Pic related maybe. Maybe they all looked at minusrus in secret and held hands and cried.
They lost a helicopter? Where?
https://t.me/ua_marines_36brigade/458
the emperor has no clothes but finally someone told him
surely he will put on clothes and take off the gloves now
where is our friend?
whats the context here, is he questioning the nature of our reality, saying Putins been dead for a long time or something else entirely?
He's questioning Putin's very involvement in affairs around him. He's been fairly consistent about Putin not doing enough since last March when he was demanding full mobilization.
>Putin not doing
Putin is not doing anything at all. He's constantly distancing himself away from the war as much as possible.
Duh. He fricked up and he's desperately trying to quietly slither his way to a quiet victory.
The real question: did Putin pay the 7 million ruble compensation to the families of the dead mobiks that he promised when the SMO started?
Of course not
Also those milbloggers don’t seem very useful. They have their own version of coping, ie, the generals are "incompetent" and leadership never "trying to win". If they would just "destroy" Ukraine’s "decision-making centers". It’s never poor quality troops and sub-par equipment. It’s never a lame-duck industrial base. Corruption is never mentioned except maybe in passing. Never the lack of a noncom officer corps.
The fact is Russian generals are probably the best human resources they have in that military, everyone else being a low-IQ peasant. They’re likely already being pushed to 110% and doing everything they possibly can. But in Russia it’s acceptable to call the generals weak incompetent losers just as long as there’s nothing wrong with the government and basic structure of the nation. So that’s what these moronic ecelebs do.
>It’s never poor quality troops and sub-par equipment. It’s never a lame-duck industrial base. Corruption is never mentioned except maybe in passing.
A handful of the specialist channels do this. Mostly the EW and drone guys. They're only just now starting to be noticed by the likes of rybar, though.
>Russian mibloggers to Putin: "How DARE you don't kill more civilians and blow up the homes of innocent people?! Are you even trying to win the war?! REEEEEEEE!"

>why yes of course I'll take tea
>the king is naked!
How much is this now just a reflecting to point fingers to the generals?
nothing lol
it's how czars work, they are infallible and would never make the wrong decisions for the country or people, so the fact that things are going so terribly must be because the czar has been receiving bad information from those around him.
this is just a show for the people.
Imagine a bust in that room.
This is either:
a) a blatant attempt of shifting the blame off of Putin (most likely)
b) more evidence that the russian coc is completely broken and everyone is lying to eachother to get some medals and that absolutely nothing gets through to the top.
I find it funny that russians constantly have to choose between "We are stupid" and "We are incompetent".
Honestly how can Russia win when "Muh Leader" doesn't even have the fricking internet, lol?
What is your opinion on the Russian milbloggers, low-ranking demons of hell (i.e Russia)?
