As a russian I can say that Putin is definitely crazy. He always was crazy a littlw due to his KGB past, you know, some tendency to overestimate impact of special servies and conspiracy. But I guess that the last drop was a covid pandemic when he sitted alone in bunker for a year in a total isolation. He totally out of mind. I do not think that one should seriously look at his speeches. Also, as a native russian speaker I watched a video interview and can proove that the translation is cirrect. He really said it...

Zelenskiy was elected in 2019, during Trump's misrule. We all know who Trump was taking orders from.

I love how absolutely desperate that makes Putin look.

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Others... Apparently you can, in fact, make this shit up.

What a world.

We've been pointing out that Zelenskyy is Jewish since the beginning. You know, for day five-hundred-and-something of the three day special military operation, that's a pretty good comeback. /S

Whatever he's smoking he's gotta either share or quit hitting it for a bit

"neo nazi's pursuing genocide"

Wow, project much Putin?

At this point, anyone who is taking anything Russia says about this conflict seriously is very clearly not operating in good faith.

Um, sure Vlad, that makes sense.

He is right! Nothing is beyond them! They are monsters! They even put a lunatic on the top of the Russian government in order to destroy Russia! And it is working! Wake up, sheepliks!

Not justifying it, but the use of the word Nazi seems a lot different in Russia compared to the West. The West is going to use the word Nazi to describe authoritarian governments that engage in genocide. Of the two belligerents in the war, that describes Russia a lot more than Ukraine.

In contrast, I feel like the word Nazi in Russia is used more to describe an existential threat to Russia. Nazis invaded Russia, and Ukraine is a threat on par with Russia.

So the home audience hears this and hears that Putin is attacking Russia's enemies, and a lot of others are confused as Putin's Russia seems a lot more fascist and Nazi-like.

I...

Wut?

What now?

My mind just gets stuck in an endless loop with this dumb gymnastics

So how long is this moron gonna last after another mobilization attempt?
I am betting 2 weeks.

So... ad hominem? That's all you have, Putin?

I guess it's just a "happy accident" that it works to that effect, even if it was never intended.

'that sneaky [...] only got his job by being [...] and was put in charge by the cabal running western society' is classic denazification rhetoric
