Latest speech from Putin
He is NOT happy with Russians both overseas and domestic who condemn his war, calling them traitors and scum and filth that needs to be purged from society - he then calls on "true patriots Russians" to spit out these traitors on the pavement and purge them from society
"I am convinced that this self purification is necessary to strengthen our country"
This dude really read Mein Kampf and gave it a thumbs up, can see 10 copies sitting on his shelf

Certainly sounds like it. Perhaps the only Russian he wants to be rich is him, whilst everyone else lives like a soviet peasant in the glorious USSR.Is that a direct attack on the oligarchs then? (amongst others). It sounds that way, wonder if this is his reaction to them wanting him either to stop the war, or his power / position is under serious threat.

They ran into two big problems, firstly the Russian plan of attack assumed they would practically annihilate the Ukrainian SAM defences and air force within 48hrs and achieve air supremacy, they still haven't done that and there was no plan B. Secondly the Kremlin put out the propaganda line that they had achieved air supremacy in Ukraine, and no one thought it might be a good idea to tell their units in the field it was propaganda thus resulting in a lot of them operating under the belief they were immune to attack from the air right up until their vehicle exploded.Watching some drone footage of Russian tanks getting hit - just incredible how badly utilised they were, absolutely no clue positioning wise, no support, put themselves into an exposed position for absolutely no good reason... it is just mind boggling in the perspective of the progress of the last 70+ years of using armour.
Thanks for this. An actual report on what’s happening rather than a mouth piece.
Interesting comments - especially regarding the wests complete lack of reporting of Russian victories

Could be a sonic boom I guess

Sounds like the Russians are staging an attack on Belarus, which was touted as expected last week
no idea what's going on here. False flag by Russia? Sonic booms?
