Putin, I judge may have been a brilliant spy but is being exposed as a dreadful military commander. He has forgotten, or more likely is unaware of, the principles of warfare, especially one that reinforce success not failure. 3-week special military op now approaching its fourth year, most likely that Zelensky will still be in power this time next year. Putin’s best hope may be a villa in North Korea or breaking rocks in Urals. Russian history does not paint a rosy picture for failed dictators.
Ukraine best news for last year 2024.
A terrorist act. No, of course not. Igor Anatolyevich recently called me & scoffed at being sanctioned by British. This is a classic British assassination can see this is a signature move of the British special services.” Appearing on a state TV program 60 Minutes, military expert Igor Korotchenko argued that UK most likely participated in killing by spying on Kirillov through its agents based out of British Embassy in Moscow. He blamed MI6 British military intelligence for establishing his whereabouts & feeding information to Kyiv. Korotchenko said: “We clearly feel the hand of Anglo-Saxons.”
(This is a long-running Russian obsession dating back to18th century but core belief for Russian spies and Putin is also spies himself, reference to British intelligence action against early Soviet Union.) In this instance, Russia’s legendary obsession with blaming “Anglo-Saxons” for all sorts of domestic & global events has another dimension. As Solovyov exclaimed on his evening show: “There is no war in Moscow, so no one guarded [Kirillov.]” But war came anyway, same propagandists who proudly predicted Ukraine could be easily defeated in a matter of days or even mere hours, & constantly described Ukrainians as animals, insects, & dim-witted villagers incapable of standing up to mighty Putin can’t admit their invasion & the savagery it unleashed consequences for the perpetrators.
The imperial mindset of discounting Russia’s neighbors as hapless and easy-to-conquer natives obscures the fact that danger lies a lot closer to home than Great Britain. Truth is that Ukrainians have developed a highly effective intelligence service adept at working inside Russia’s supposed ironclad security system and capable of striking at the heart of the state. No wonder Russia’s elite try to concoct a lie that is easier to swallow.
