Putin’s evil clockwork army.

Oliver Alexander eh?

Let me count those Pulitzers.

The simple question for me, or indeed anyone with a brain, is why would Russia blow their own 11bn operation up when they could simply turn the gas off?

Unfortunately a lot of people need to take their brains for a shit before taking on new information.

New government notwithstanding, Finland officially joined NATO today.

Had a text from a mate in Finland on the subject…

Well played Sweden: "Hey Finland let’s go to NATO together!! We will watch your back!
Oh… we accidentally burned a Quran and now Turkey won’t accept us… well, you go right ahead Finland! We know you are now isolated from the rest of the NATO, but you will do just fine!! :relieved: Oh and thanks, we Swedes are now surrounded by NATO countries."

There has been a drone attack on Putins Moscow residence - unfortunately unsuccessful

The Russians are blaming Ukraine

Pre-cursor to Russian going nuke or a botched attempt by Ukraine or the first attempt at a coup?

More likely a Russian drone. “Nobody hurt, it’s an attack by Ukraine, we are entitled to defend ourselves.”

I’m sure Russian air defences are so crap as to allow a drone to get that far into their territory, let alone get near Putin’s residence

  • smells of bullshine.

Such a coincidence that someone was filming the dome of the Kremlin at 3 am just around the time the drone struck. Putin, of course, spends his nights high up in the dome asking questions of the stars, rather than in a bunker 40m below ground.

Didn’t even damage a flimsy flagpole. I used to buy more devastating fireworks for a tanner when I was a kid.

We thought you assisted Guy Fawkes in loading gunpowder underneath Parliament?

:shushing_face: I told you that in all confidence, poor old Guy was hung, drawn and fricasseed, I got away with a jolly good telling off…I was young and foolish said the judge.

Got to admit, I’m impressed with the cynicism levels on display here. I thought it was just me. :+1::+1::+1:

Well, this could get interesting

Turns out he doesn’t fancy being under anyone’s control and has decided that he will take his army to Moscow

I think we are coming to the end now

Indeed

certainly didn’t see this coming

Dangerous few hours. Especially when there are unconfirmed reports tat a lot of minion level troops in Ukraine are at the best “passive” about this and potentially supportive.

BBC reporting that Wagner forces have taken control of Voronezh (halfway to Moscow from Rostov)

A whole different worry now. Russia is being invaded by Wagner that makes nasty things in the game

Some Russian troops surrendering to Wagner forces, or refusing to fire on them. Wagner have shot down 3 helicopters that attacked them.
