A whole generation of men have been killed for a single man's ego. What a catastrophe.
The Little Tsar thought he'd stroll into Kyiv in three days. 900+ days later, and the dunce has gotten his oil refineries on fire, economy in the toilet, 600,000+ as 200 or 300 cargo, his country sanctioned, and a warrant out for his arrest. What epic folly. Way to go, little man.
Russia has already lost. No victory in Ukraine could ever fix Russia's future. Ukraine is in a bad state but at least there will be foreign investors interested in rebuilding it.

Remember, captured and dead Russian soldiers were found with parade uniforms in their packs on the opening days. He legitimately thought they were going to hold a victory parade through Kyiv on Day 4.
That's how a dictator, nearing his end operates...
But the bots keep telling us how super great Russian military operation has been.
He knows he is in trouble and things will get worse
Much _much worse_
He's been desperately holding out for a Trump victory. If Harris wins, he'll know beyond any doubt that even that tiny sliver of hope is gone.
Breaking news: Putin Hiding behind women and children now.....
Like the Americans and their British lapdogs when they invaded many countries like cowards?
Russian news better get Swan Lake booted up and ready to air
😂😂😂
Written by Piotr in Kharkiv?
@nicholassimon2005 Pyotr from Votkinsk wrote the original, but I hear Zelenskyy is considering doing a mashup of Swan Lake with Tchaikovsky other famous work, 1812 overture. The booming cannons, with the delicate melody of Dance of the Cygnets should be a hit with the Tik Toks
@@jljl5449And a stanza of " Ride of the Valkyries" by the Wagner gr9up....sorry Wagner the composer.
The fool should be getting his family out, not cementing them in.
He is the exact kinda POS who wants people buried in the tomb with his corpse.
To where, North Korea?
@@fritzraake22if he had to leave Russia... when you whittle out the countries possible to take him in even secretly.. but then look at the risks of him being found there for The Hague or agents who want assassinate him...
North Korea is actually the only country he could go to and feel relatively safe from danger..
He's using them as a human shield. If he goes down. They go with him. It prevents them from turning on him.
He might want to use them as shields?
This is one of the things you very often see happening before dictators are deposed.
Is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? Not sure, but this is a bad move. A leader isolated from the people he is supposed to lead will invariably lead to disaster.
Do people like you seriously believe the nonsense these sort of stations preach?
@@jamesgreen1116 Reality is reality Jimmy. I have friends in Ukraine AND Russia. What my old friends tell me, sells me on the information I consider "Reality".
He's starting to 'Circle the wagons' he knows the game is up - if he wants to avoid a cell in the Hague he'd better cut and run soon. We know where you are Vlad ... ... ... time is running out.
I wonder if he kept any of Prigozhin's disguises.
Il fuiras en Amérique du sud comme les nazis .
This is what the beginning of the end for Putin looks like.
It starts off slow and ends very fast. This is what is best for Russia and the world. The downfall of Putin.
The only downfall you’ll see is Zelenskyy trapped in his bunker
@Jamie-uk2zh nah you trippin
Putin is on his way out. He will go just like all the other dictators 🇺🇦
@@Jamie-uk2zh It will be a cross between Downfall and Scarface.
The problem is that there is no one with any democratic credentials or intentions anywhere near the Russian power centre. Any hope that Putin's replacement will be better is probably misplaced, it will be another authoritarian kleptocrat.
Carlson Tucker, Poostain needs your help. 😂
In case most of you were not aware the main cause of the accident at Chernobyl can be traced back to nepotism. Any further questions?
Thank you, I did not know that. I always figured Soviet incompetence.
@pennybourban3712
One usually goes hand in hand with the other.
Ahh, the signs of a dictator in his death throes. Won't be long now...
Good, more incompetent people on important positions.

USA's weren't appointed by a dictator, though.

It’s definitely heading to full dictator endgame… it won’t end well for the little man
The weather in Saudi Arabia is lovely this time of year… just saying (for younger people in the audience, Saudi Arabia is a dictator’s last port of call, when 💩 goes south in their country, and they have the financial resources to live there full time)
Good idea promoting people into positions they are totally unsuitable for. Sideline the FSB at your peril.
Well… Putin knows he’s a dead man walking …. He cannot stop in Ukraine even if we wanted to… The entire Russian economy is now built around military production…. And when that stops…. So will his heart Lolol
Et l'économie s'effondrera ,
l'URSS a imposé parce que 20 % de son économie était consacré a l'armement et l'armée.
He has a heart ? !
He´s paranoid? GOOD! Good things coming our way!
Il a surtout essayé de propager la paranoïa au peuple russe par sa propagande.
Putler is not happy that he is losing in Kursk 😂
And Belgorod 😊
Maybe....It is NOT...his problem 😜🤗...
Putin has not had a happy day in almost 3 years and he's never going to have another one in his life.
I heard he just pooped his pants, again..........

Has he moved Tucker into a position yet?
Tucker is the new minister of propaganda....
Am not American but how's he allowed in the states is beyond me
We can't find anyone who will take him off our hands permanently.
the Bent Over position… 😂
Has Putin ever realized his way of running a country may not work at all?
Well it was bobbling along until he invaded Ukraine.
There’s something about most dictators which ruins their judgement as time passes. Probably related to being increasingly surrounded with yesmen only.
His way of running the country has to work only until he is dead. He has to remain President until then. He must have shelved the plan to "move upstairs" as Chairman of the Council of Guardians in a Grand Ayatollah role.
@@fainitesbarley2245Yes.....!!😢
Looks like his close friends will be burning in his bunker with him
Signs of the beginning of the end.
This start to like Saddam Hussain whom also was afraid of being overthrown
or assassinated. Very afraid of what he was eating and only relatives closest in ranks.
Simply remember how Caesar has left this world in 44 BC or who won in David vs Goliath "fight" back then.....
Sounds as if he is in fear, denial and that a coup is possible.
oh dear oh dear someone has Anxiety and Paranoia .... don't drink any tea 😀😀😜 .... 🇺🇦
And don't go near any open windows or balconies 😀
Putin never eats or drinks in public.
Scene ; poo tin talks to Satan
“ honestly, there I was having a cup of tea, looking out of the window & next thing I, I was here, talking to you ! “
And never touch unknown door handles.
Or use unknown perfume spray bottles.
Or something will come kno(vi)chocking on your door.
What goes around comes around o great leader.
Blessings, peace and luck from California to Ukraine. 🙏🙏☮🍀💛💙
So, sidelining the FSB. That sounds like it's going to go well for Putin.
Uhm, sidelining FSB men seems a sure fire winning survival strategy. :)
I am waiting for the music to start on Moscow radio

Soooo… When does anyone think that Vladimir Putin will start appointing his dogs to key positions of power ? (It’s only a matter of time for that one)
Caligula made his horse a Senator in Rome. And seeing many other simularites between the two, I can see that.
A dog is now his food and drink tester
In terms of military strategy, would the dog be a bad appointment? I dunno . . . .
@@NemesisoftheGrandPoohbahputinBut Caligula was a notoriously BAD chap !
He's slowly going crazy
Could be a ploy by Putin to position his relatives for his retirement. As part of step aside deal he may, as a condition of retirement, have his relatives retain their positions, ...or they be retired with government benefits along with him.
Oh, brilliant! Putin's bunker mentality has got the better of him again.
I think Putin will soon fall out of the window.
The key word here is
*nepotism.*
[note: Putin has a lot of kids, and ex-wives.]
That’s just going to accelerate the resentment of the power players. Buh bye.
Simple:law of gravity anything goes up goes down just what is putin now:
I love this woman. She speaks facts, How unusual! 😎
Must of talked to Trump
Sure. Because he couldn't have a conversation with Sleepy Joe or Creepy Kamala
True definition of paranoia.
Alert! On CZcams there is a recent flood of videos showing pretty Russian women singing Russian patriotic songs. With added propaganda that Russia is wonderful and in love with kindness and good will.
Please call it out.
Offer those pretty Russian woman a Western passport and they'll do WHATEVER you ask.
Or are they mourning the loss of every guy they know?
Sad to say that as an American this type of behavior is in recent memory. 🤦♂️
Putin is playing his swan song...the coming days will be interesting.
How the russians have fallen
so...
he really dont care about his family at all...
he must know...when he falls.... so will they.
It might delay things for a while but
the endgame is already written.....

Something Trump was doing for a very long time.
That's why Trump and Putin like each so much.

Promoting friends and family has been done for ages. It that news to you?
@@paulvandenberg9588 - So, even as people complain that DEI is "unfair", nepotism is defended just because it is historically common? Even though nepotism is even more likely to see unqualified people given jobs they can't do because they only got them due to family connections?

Imagine if he was so crazy and afraid he installed his daughter and son-in law in government making them in charge of EVERYTHING. And or put his son's current wife in charge of the whole political party....... Or maybe had a hotel foreign governments could rent out whole floors to show support in D.C........or had son in law accept BILLIONS in mystery money from Saudi's ...... That would be some nutty behavior ....
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@robertsmith5744 Russia have its own nice islands out of the coast of Siberia. One of those went down in history as the test site for the Tsar Bomba (largest nuclear test in history), so they have an already a contaminated place for storage of this toxic leader.

Always thought that bit of USSR real estate had a purpose
It's only a matter of time before this Mafia movie has a predictable ending.
As Mafia is , so Mafia does..
Vladimiravitch , as KGB , and very intelligent and ambitious , should have KNOWN this ...
If Putin tries to sideline FSB, he's done for. It is a matter of a relatively short time.
More nepotism is really going to fix things.
Nataliya Vasilyeva - your beautiful English puts some of The Times' correspondants to shame.
Promoting family. Seems like this could go the way of the Tsar.
kaputin's circle is shrinking! May Our Lady of Zarvanytsia, Andrey Sheptytsky, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints, First Testament Prophets (Elijah, Ezekiel, Joel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos etc), Jewish holy men and women, St Michael, Raphael and Gabriel, all the angels, St Benedict, St Seraphim, St George, St Catherine, ask the Almighty to help Ukraine. May it be freed from Russian oppression. May all who have died RIP and may relatives and friends be comforted
Symptom of isolation 🙄 It can be severe, if his loved ones don't take very good care of the affected patient. For God's sake be very observative that Mr. President doesn't spend to much time alone 🙏
These low key promotions ? Reporting straight back to Putin - his ears and eyes ……….
Putler has used this system in his favour, but it could well be used against him too, it goes both ways.
So his daughter returned to Russia?
she is Remote Worker from Paris
Sign of upcoming downfall.
Inevitable.
Law of gravity.
Yeltsin did the same thing - promoted his family to high positions 😏
Didn’t Czar Nickolas II do something similar in the aftermath of the Russo/Japanese war in 1905 by purging his generals and officials which laid the groundwork for the disaster of Tannenberg in 1914….
Remind me, how many kings were overthrown by their family?
Karma is well overdue to putin...he has gone into deficit in the bank of Karma, he will be repaid 😂❤❤
He has a wedge between him and the FSB now? I'd say dust off the Swan Lake, but it should still be good to go from the Wagner rebellion.
Gosh!
Doesn’t matter what he does. The FSB will make the final call as to when enough is enough.
Oh, you sweet naive summer child.
Vova _is_ the FSB, if anything the coup will be started by Oligarchs with their own private armies.
Putin doesn't trust the FSB. His personal security force answer only to him. However there is always a chance of persuading one or more of them to give him a dose of novichok.
@@vodkaman1970More than one of them....if anything we hear from the " penetrated" refuseniks in Helsinki are to be believed...
Probably too much of a 'provocation' but wouldn't it be interesting if Poland started to amass some of its military along the Poland-Belarus border to give Lukachenko a little something to think abouut as he does the same along the Ukrainian border.
Exactly...
It works in football...
looks like Ukrainian military could go all way to Moscow, putin can't do nothing about it
Like Saddam Hussein and Donald Trump.
Yes.
Don't forget Putin's best buddy Gaddafi.
everything is going according to plan guys XD
As a student of end times Biblical literature I find this fascinating to watch because the Bible says that at the end times your greatest enemy will be those of your own household. I don't think Putin has ever taken the time to read the Bible but according to the Bible this move of promoting family will backfire on him.
Escatological wisdom here.
