shots fired…“Don't be embarrassed, you screwed up."
Yesterday Solovyov insulted Girkin, to which Girkin called him to a debate and promised to get him.
He always looks like he's melting.
Instructed by the Kremlin to discredit Girkin?
Could be. Some say Girkin is also FSB product, but this time he dropped some bombs and perhaps too much constructed criticsm in his latest piece, calling Russian ministry of defense a 'thick cattle with IQ of a bottle cork'.
I can only imagine what situation will be if Ukraine will break through winter fortifications and start freeing other parts. Could be meltdown Alex Jones never dared to give us in his lifetime.

Funny how Vlad is using his propagandists to diss Girkin now that Igor has been far too truthful about what is actually happening on the ground.
Such bad luck those Russians seem to be having...
I think I read a while ago that there's definitely some insurance fraud going on as certain businesses will suffer under sanctions.
There is another point to consider: Millions of people were either mobilized or left Russia to prevent that. That means a lot of people who know how to operate such facilities aren't available. Those who remain might lack the skills (or simply the numbers) to operate and maintain correctly. So naturally the number of simple (but effectful) accidents increases.
Another good point.
I don't think we're in the millions yet.
Some might say it's not much but in the end, that's superb news tbh. Girkin always film his interviews in a secret room that looks like basement, so he probably knows it's not safe for anyone with any alternative view.
Relatively peaceful dissolve of Putin's regime through consciousness of Russian society could start from that type of people like Girkin, who despite his crimes in the past still is somewhat patriot to his country and could even draw the line between reality and Kremlin's matrix. Let the snowball roll into something bigger. 2023 / 2024 could finally change something in Europe, so USA won't have to step every 100 years to clean the mess from mass genocide.
An estimated 700k left Russia to avoid mobilization, 300k+ were mobilized, so could be well over a million. Maybe not millions, but a lot of people though.
Remember, RedCafe is a football forum, so at times we should maybe concentrate more on that. Like our old friend Lukashenko does, who apparently is terrified about the state of Belarussian football, but doesn't discuss the war at the moment

Most of his videos are like this - publicly berating his subordinates about one thing or the other to make it appear anything that goes wrong in Belarus isn’t his fault.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers are skewed towards Putin’s interests, as in more people have left Russia to avoid mobilization than has been reported.
Even if this wasn’t a Ukrainian operation, this sort of thing will happen more frequently as Ukrainians get better resources.
Another cruise missile barrage is underway, 60 missiles have been launched by Russian strategic bombers.
I wonder if this is related to Belarus withdrawing their troops from the Ukranian border?
Amazon helped out the Ukrainian government.

Surely they are not that dumb to try attacking Kyiv again? It's just talk to keep some UA forces doing nothing around the border. Right?
That is the common argument, yes. To fix Ukrainian troops at the Belarus border.
However, it's also been argued that they could have done that at a cheaper cost than what they're doing now. The implication being that preparations may be serious and we shouldn't rule out another assault from the north.
