  • General Seagal bursts into Putin's office and says.. Seagal : Mr President. It's the Ukrainians. They want to talk peace. Putin : At last. I knew I would break them. Are they on the phone? Seagal : No. They're at the front door and they look p!ssed...

    I am Russian, live Samara. First Putin scream "Kyiv in three days" and now Russia is to being invaded. I wish Bunker Grandfather would just leave🥵

    Putin wasn't complacent, the poor lad is just overworked. What with sabotaging the Olympics and staging the riots here he was a bit distracted from manning the border in Kursk.
  • 32:10 Putin doesn't care what people in Moscow and St Petersburg think of his policies or actions, too (he is a dictator with over 500000 rosgvardia army to fight Russians who express any disagreement with him). The divide is not geographical but societal: there is Putin's elite - several hundred families who control resources and production, and several thousand bureaucrats who run the system. If sanctions were to target these people (like what Navalny was demanding all along), then this could make a real difference. These people are the backbone of Putin's regime. Without their continued support, his regime can not survive.
