Coup watch

Even the lad from Wagner has said that isnā€™t true mate. If Ukraine amassed soliders on the border it was surely in counter to the Russian army which actually planned to invade and you know. Did

Lolz

He almost certainly did, because, like Hitler and Stalin, he was a total fool. In reality an average punter in a Dublin pub knew more about the real situation than Putin did, and Putin would have got superior advice had he sourced it from a Dublin pub.

This is called believing your own bullshit.

Thatā€™s like saying that only for the Soviet armed forces and the populationā€™s resistance and western aid, Hitler would have achieved his aims with Operation Barbarossa.

If reality had been totally different, reality would have been totally differentā€¦

Gawd.

  1. Merkel admitted the plan was to retake crimea and the minsk accords were a stalling tactic. She was the architect and main guarantor. The then dutch prime minister stated the same
    2.Amnrsty International, the UN, the OSCE,(recognised and supported by dozens of governments as impartial) reported on the bombing of civilians by kiev in the weeks prior to the invasionā€¦hundreds of ceasefire violations etc. Iā€™ve posted the report here previously.

This is all a matter of record and most of the planet has recognised this from the outset. Tell me where Iā€™m wrong.

@glenshaneā€™s arguments would remind you of OceanGateā€™s.

I could be completely wrong, but my best guess is Prigozhin will be dead within a few days.

He doesnā€™t look like a poker player, he looks like a Rangers supporter caught on camera with Celtic 4-0 up at Ibrox.

Mick Wallace is frantically calling for peace. I mean if thereā€™s no peace in Russia, how can Ukraine be obliterated as he desires?

:joy:

Comical Igor needs to make an appearance, heā€™s been very quiet of late.

Any news outlets covering live updates etc?

Maybe Chay Bowes might decide he fancies becoming a journalist? Nah.

Vlad is better than Iā€™ve ever seen him tonight. All his biases are tempered by the fear that this is too good to be true
Heā€™s almost objective

Lots of rumours Lukashenko has fled to Turkey. Hard to know whether to believe them.

Where could Putin flee to if necessary? Saudi Arabia? China?

Invoking 1917 is not a great look for him.

Full morning of 24 June address by Putin to the nation in regards to the military coup:

"I appeal to the citizens of Russia, to the personnel of the Armed Forces, law enforcement and security services, fighters and commanders currently fighting on their positions, repelling the enemy attacks, doing it heroically.

I spoke to the commanders in all directions last night. I appeal also to those who were deceptively pulled into the criminal adventure, pushed towards a serious crime of an armed mutiny.

Russia today is leading the most difficult war for its future, repelling the aggression of neo-nazis and their handlers. Against us, the whole military, economical and information machines of the West are turned.

We fight for the lives and security of our people. For our sovereignty and independence. The right to remain Russia, a state with 1000 years of history.

Itā€™s a battle where the fate of our people is resolved requires uniting of all our forces, unity, consolidation and responsibility. Everything else must be shoved to the side that weakens us.

Any arguments that our external enemies are using to undermine us from within. Thus, actions splitting our unity is a betrayal of our people, our combat brothers who fight now at the front. Itā€™s a strike in the back of our country and our people.

Exactly this strike was dealt in 1917 when the country was in WW1, but its victory was stolen. Intrigues, and arguments behind the armyā€™s back turned out to be the greatest catastrophe, destruction of the army and the state, loss of huge territories, resulting in a tragedy and a civil war.

Russians were killing Russians, brothers killing brothers. But the beneficiaries were various political chevaliers of fortune and foreign powers who divided the country, and tore it into parts. We will not let this happen.

We will protect our people and state from any threats, including internal betrayal. What weā€™re facing is exactly internal betrayal. Extraordinary ambitions and personal interests led to treason. Treason of their own country and people and of the case that fighters of Wagner were dying for alongside our soldiers.

Heroes who liberated Soledar and Artemivsk, towns and cities of the Donbas. They fought and were giving lives to Novorossiya and the unity of the Russian world. Their name and glory were also betrayed by those who are trying to organise the mutiny, pushing the country into anarchy and brother-killing, to a defeat, at the end, and capitulation.

Repeat: any internal mutiny is a deadly threat to our state, to us as a nation. Itā€™s a strike against our nation, our people. And our actions to defend the fatherland from such a threat will be brutal.

Anyone who consciously went on the path of betrayal, who prepared the armed mutiny, went on the path of blackmail and terrorist actions, will take an inevitable punishment.

They will answer to the law and our people. The Armed Forces and other departments were properly instructed. Extra KTO measures are now being implemented in Moscow, Moscow region, a number of other regions.

Decisive actions will be taken to stabilise the situation in Rostov-on-Don. It remains difficult. The operation of civilian and military control departments is practically blocked.

As a President of Russia and the Supreme Commander, as a citizen of Russia, I will do everything to defend the country, protect the Constitution, lives and safety, liberty of the citizens.

Those who prepared the military mutiny, who raise weapons against combat brothers, have betrayed Russia, and will pay for this. And those who are being pulled into the crime, Iā€™m asking to not make this crucial, tragic, unrepeatable mistake. Do the one right choice - stop participating in criminal actions.

I believe that we will defend and preserve whatā€™s sacred for us. And together with the motherland, we will overcome all challenges, and become even stronger.

To be fair to Putin heā€™s looking as well as he has in a long time. He doesnā€™t look bloated anymore.

Thatā€™s because his favourite cook is mounting a coup against him.
