Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Part 5

Looks like things are falling apart over at the White House right now
... and you too, my son Brutus? 🤔

Maybe his astrologers told him not to make any big moves while Mercury is retrograde, and now he’s stuck trying to explain himself to old Dugina. 🤣

Looks like those first pre-referendum polls are finally starting to trickle in:

Apparently, 84% are in favor of joining Russia. That’s based on 1,914 votes pulled from 782 poll views 🤣 🙏

If Russia decides to escalate their military operations in Ukraine—beyond just throwing more boots on the ground—it’ll likely focus on crippling critical infrastructure. We're talking power grids, water supplies, bridges, railways, tunnels, viaducts, transit hubs... basically everything that keeps a society running. They'll probably lean heavily on strategic aviation, too. It’s a playbook we saw when the US hit Iraq or America...

It seems to me they're scrambling to build a legal framework to justify ramping up military aid against Russian forces in Ukraine. That's why there's this sudden rush to hold referendums and get everything tied up in legal knots. You have to remember, the Russian president is a lawyer by training...

And looking at the recent movements from both the Ukrainian and Russian militaries, along with all these shifting tactical wins and losses, I just don't see how the soldiers or the civilians in those devastated zones are supposed to settle in without basic utilities. Neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians can really focus on rebuilding vital energy infrastructure while the fighting is still actively going on...

There is a reason strategic aviation stays clear of occupied zones and conducts strikes from a distance.

Russia is running low on long-range precision weaponry. And even if they did decide to target civilian infrastructure, the reaction would likely be the delivery of more long-range American weapons Ukraine.

If they don't hit 110%, they aren't even worth my time. 😁

Nothing much to preach about today ☕

There won't be any kind of address

Maybe they picked him up, and now they're out there hunting for his double.🤣
He isn't going to have much luck trying to pull himself out of that bunker.

Has Swan Lake actually started on TV yet?

Maybe he just wasn't feeling well—he's getting up there in years, after all—but man, you could have cut the tension in that room with a knife. 🤣

No one gave the green light to start a war.

On that Fox News link, they were saying there's still an address expected
edit
well, I guess even they don't really know yet

I have to admit, there’s something about Putin's 😁

Summer's winding down, and I’ve got a feeling we’re gonna be seeing more of this stuff from the Russ soon enough.

It’s pretty obvious now—the kid isn't the undisputed king anymore.
Who’s going to take over? The hawks or the doves (assuming there even are any left)?

Who knows what happened with Putin's speech being pulled? People are saying it wasn't supposed to be live at all—just a pre-recorded TV address—and then suddenly, nothing. Even RT wiped the announcement from their feed.

So, much of Vladimir the Great's speech seems to be 🙄. Maybe by tomorrow we'll hear about some new folks who "accidentally" fell out of windows.

Live feed : Quote:

Elena Černenko, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal writing from Moscow, mentioned that there is currently no clear idea regarding when Putin’s televised address will actually air.

"The speech didn't go live at 8:00 PM (which would be 7:00 PM here in the States, by the way) as originally scheduled, and I guess it's just anyone's guess when it might happen now. Journalists accredited at The White House were posting about how messy this whole situation is just half an hour ago, but honestly, it doesn't look like anything is going to happen today," Elena Černenko posted on Twitter.

Bitce, if the generals could organize media logistics half as efficiently as they handle their other operations, we might actually see some clarity. 😛

Three million people voted, and four of them are all for joining mother Russia 🎉 🎉. We spent our whole lives dreaming they'd show up and liberate us 🙄.

Then you have this one traitor from Ukraine—who actually moved to Russia after 2014—posting about how once the referendum results are out, every single attack from Kyiv on annexed areas will be treated as an attack on Russia itself. Honestly, they don't even need a referendum—they've got crystal balls and can see the future; they already know the results 🙄.
