Russian leader says Ukraine’s gains sound like a you problem.
President Vladimir Putin has a message for the Russian region where Ukraine has seized more than 1,000 square kilometers of territory: Don’t blame me.
Speaking via videoconference to a meeting of Russian politicians, including the governors of Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions, Putin said the “security issues” that had arisen in Kursk were “problems that are the responsibility of the security forces.”
The last resort of defense-obsessed dictator is the Shaggy air defenseTM when losing actual “historic russian lands”. 😆
Then why do they need to be ruled by Moscow?
That’s a pretty common question in Russia actually. There’s a long long history of abuse and then indifference from Moscow. There’s a reason there’s so many nascent separatist movements in Russia.
The fact that he feels the need to say this is a sign of his vulnerability, of the pressure he feels. The chorus of voices is only going to grow louder as Ukraine kills and captures more and more soldiers, more conscripts.
Putin blaming the security forces is the beginning of the end for him. The domestic security apparatus is the only thing keeping him in power.
None of us know this, everytime we see something not go their way we talk like this hut truth is we have no clue. Putin has kept people in check for a long time, he is good at it. 2 years ago it was cancer, and everytime there is anstrategic win we talk about cracks and thw beginning of the end.
The russian people enjoy living in shit to spite all the westerners.
“Maybe our leaders abuse us, but have you seen how good we are at taking it?”
Eeeeeehh, this is how the czarist system (and really monarchies in general) always worked. The king is the Good Father; fuckups or moral failings are because of the Bad Councilors.
People know the deal going in.
He may be weak, probably is, but I don’t think this specifically is necessarily the sign to look for.
But the czarist system has the feature that given enough fuckups, the czar is removed in a palace coup. And given that the oligarchs have been hit quite hard by sanctions and that the “Special” military operation hasn’t exactly gone to plan. It seems only a matter of time before it happens.
Fingers crossed!
Putin should stick to what he does best, poisoning panties
Dude, I know Russia has poisoned people… But panties? That’s a new one for me.
Dirty undies . . . the whites!
Navalny pants, dude.
I’d love to hear whose fucking fault it was then. Someone’s gotta go out of a 8th floor window next week
I mean, it’s clearly Ukraine’s fault. They invaded, whose else’s fault could be?
If Ukraine didn’t invade, would those territories be occupied by Ukraine?
There, your answer.
Who else could it be then ?

Wow, he’s sounding a lot like Felon Drink Bleach.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it
And if I did mean it, you deserved it
Putin really doing a lot to erode any chance Russia ever controls Kursk again
That’s real leadership right there.
Gotta socialize the failures, it’s what the people would want.
