[QUOTE=Questner;2814662]Apparently the wretched clown has a twatter account.[/QUOTE]Speaking of clowns, we can all see the Muscovy State Circus live on the internet.
"Igor Girkin is very pessimistic today. He says it is time to start thinking about preventing Russia from falling apart because military defeat is near.
Translation:
Regular readers and listeners should remember the assessment of the situation that I laid out (and expressed) last winter. One of the theses was: "If the necessary national measures for the successful conduct of the war are not taken before May, we will not be able to win this war.
I state: NO MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN. Neither organizational nor personnel. The goals of the war have not been determined, and the inhabitants of the Planet of the Pink Ponies (PRP) have not understood that "this war will be fought until one side is victorious. Accordingly, since there is no goal, there is no strategy. No strategy. No conscious work on its implementation. But the enemy has a strategy from the beginning and is being implemented with all its might. More and more successfully since the Kremlin is "playing giveaway" with an inexplicable enthusiasm and childlike confidence in the ultimate "contract" that is comfortable for the elderly Ponies, Elephants, and Unicorns.
Now we have to think about how to preserve the state, the country and the people in a situation of impending military defeat.
And, yes. Even for a "worthy non-fatal defeat" (in which our enemies will be forced to abandon their plans for the complete fragmentation of Russia and the elimination of its sovereignty) we will have to fight long and hard. Harder and longer than it would have been if we had fought to win decisively from the outset. And the longer the occupants of the PRP will linger in the "sweet languor" of confidence in their peaceful and happy old age (which has long come for most of the VIPs) - the less chance that in the end the Russian ship will manage to get out of the military storm and systemic crisis, without sinking (after a long and bloody Troubles) into History".

P.S. In an off the record comment, Girkin suggests that Putin FanBoy Questner should subscribe to Girkin's "Twatter" channel. Girkin said that it might help Questner to extract his head from Putin's Pink Pony ass.
Is the reason you aren't at the front line that you changed your gender?
Here's a leak, the little scummy bug with his Parent 1 and Parent 2.
[QUOTE=Questner;2814949]Here's a leak, the little scummy bug with his Parent 1 and Parent 2.[/QUOTE]What's the Russian word for "Depends," and also for scummy? And it's reported that he has some bodyguards who specialize in cleaning up #1 leaks, and others who specialize in cleaning up #2.
I'm guessing you'd be a likely candidate for the #2 group.

"Rampant corruption is reported to have rendered Russia's ballistic missile early warning system virtually useless. Scams by contractors are said to have led to unsuitable foreign-made components being used on a wide scale".
"Most of the components, as usual, were purchased abroad and under the guise of procuring expensive transistors protected from interference and radiation, the brains of the radar were supplied with cheap parts that were unusable for military purposes".
"This made it possible to have a huge profit margin, a thousand different kinds of radio components were purchased for cents, and invoiced for hundreds of dollars each".
"According to a source, the result now is that Russia has unstable radars, which provide a "window of opportunity" to hit Russian territory without retaliation".

Although it's a Russian source, if this report is true it's likely that Western intel agencies and others (Ukraine, China, etc.) are aware of the situation. And, according to the report, Putin is also aware. Here are a few possible implications:
1. Any nuclear saber-rattling by Putin will be viewed as nothing more than a bluff by Ukraine and Western allies, as well as by China. That was probably already the case, but this reported info would provide an additional factual basis.
2. If the report is true, with respect to early warning radars, then it's reasonable to assume that corruption may have undermined other areas of Russia's nuclear (and conventional) capability. That's because the same electronics component shell-game scam could easily be used elsewhere, in both nuclear and non-nuclear military systems.
3. Putin is very likely aware that the West knows, and that China also knows. So he'll be aware that any nuclear threats coming from either the Kremlin or Russian state media will only be useful for scaring the uninformed public.
The article indicates that more info might be coming out in the near future. We'll have to wait and see, since it's obviously in Russia's interests to keep info like this under wraps.
Institutionalized Russian corruption, the gift that keeps on giving!
One victorious day the grotesque clique of ordinary traitors occupying Kiev will be washed down the sewage.

Which also tells me that Putin's "impenetrable" bunkers aren't worth shit (who wouldn't have skimmed from the government contract on something that was never supposed to be used anyway?) This is also why MOST Russian nukes ARE shit (but not all 6,000 of them, unfortunately).
However, I doubt Putin knows the extent of the steal. No one would dare upset him.
[QUOTE=Questner;2815316]One victorious day...[/QUOTE]The LoZZers haven't had a victory for a long time, and one doesn't seem to be coming. What is air defence doing BTW? Can you tell me?
The 30 min parade today in Muscovy was a pretty hilarious clown walk. A single T-34 on show, and fake fat Putin in the stands since bunker boy won't come out to play.
Everyone is laughing, from the Baltic States to the "allies" in the CSTO.
[QUOTE=Questner;2815316]One victorious day[/QUOTE]On this very day, during the (supposedly) most momentous celebration of Soviet military might, all Russia could muster up was a single 80-year old T-34 tank! The entire pathetic parade, if it can even be called that, took only about 10 minutes. Oh, and ZERO aircraft participating in any kind of demonstration or flyover.
How humiliating! Bwa-ha-haa-haaa!

Germany had already unconditionally surrendered to Allied Forces (sans USSR), first on May 4th (some German forces), and then on May 7th (ALL German forces).
Stalin was pissed and insisted on having his own "signing ceremony" in Berlin, which happened a couple of days later. Which means that all the events of May 9th were purely for show, as the REAL surrender had already taken place. That's why EVERYONE other than Russia celebrates VE-Day on May 8th, the date on which the ACTUAL surrender agreement took official effect.
How appropriate that even matters of Russian "national pride" are based on shambolic lies. And a shambolic holiday deserves an equally shambolic parade. Potemkin would be proud!

However, I doubt Putin knows the extent of the steal. No one would dare upset him.[/QUOTE]I agree that no one wants to (voluntarily) be the bearer of bad news. But, once a significant piece of bad news leaks out, or is otherwise discovered, it would be foolish to not order a thorough investigation. And Putin, although evil, is no fool.
One of the keys to Putin's rule is how he actively creates and promotes separate "silos" of power that he can then play against each other and use to investigate each other. The military vs the FSB is the most obvious example, although there are other elements (like the FSO) that are less talked about.
The main point I'm getting at is that any group tasked with getting to the bottom of a nasty procurement scandal doesn't really need to worry about upsetting Putin. That's because a) he ordered the investigation; b) They're throwing others under the bus, while simultaneously elevating their own status, and; c) Putin will be more upset if facts come out later that the investigators should have found and reported.
Of course, whatever comes out of any such situation is likely to be handled outside of the public eye. Think back over the past year about how many surprising "suicides" and "accidents" have taken place. It's impossible to know what the internal motivations were for each death (targeted killing), but that's how such things are usually handled.
But, and this is key, even if Putin knows every detail he really can't do shit about it. The damage has already been done and repairing it, even if no sanctions were in place, would take years. Under current circumstances, there's little hope the problem can be effectively fixed.
Keep things quiet, deal privately with the responsible people, and continue to play the "bluff" card. That's really all Putin can do, IMO. Unfortunately for him, that doesn't work well when your adversaries know exactly what's in your hand.
