Certainly, side by side comparison of the two documents would point to one being a fake. But the sceptic in me suggests that this is exactly why they would do it that way to then say, look at this POS, clearly it’s a fake, it doesn’t even look like our presentation.
https://t.me/chtddd/56414 This is a Russian soldier Natan Kasatkin. On Feb 26th he was captured by the Ukrainians. Above is the link to the video where he says "Glory to Ukraine" and "Putin khuilo" (an expletive). He was exchanged and returned to his town. He signed up again and was killed in Ukraine yesterday. Idiots.
In the last two months Ukrainian army reports losing 71 tanks. During the same period they captured 194 Russian tanks in perfect working order. Russia continues to be the biggest arms supplier to Ukraine.
BTW JFK's grandson - John Conor Richardson Kennedy - joined Ukrainian forces in fighting against Russia.
So do we want to start a pool on how many days until Shoigu has an accidental fall from a fifth story window, mishandles his firearm shooting himself in the back of the head five times, or has a misadventure involving a rope? Vladimir Putin's military chief misses crucial meeting amid rumors that he will be replaced Russia’s Defense Minister has missed out on a crucial Security Council video-conference meeting fuelling speculation about his whereabouts and his future. https://www.ohmymag.co.uk/news/vlad...rumors-that-he-will-be-replaced_art14522.html Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s Defense Minister and close Vladimir Putin ally, was absent yesterday in a video-conference call of the country’s Security Council, Newsweek reports. Mounting setbacks The absence of the minister, who is a permanent member of the council, comes after numerous setbacks on Russia’s end on the battlefield in Ukraine and widespread criticism directed towards the military and him specifically, Newsweek reports. With the recent successful Ukrainian counter-offensives, Shoigu has come increasingly under fire. According to Newsweek, today the Russian-installed leader of the Kherson region, Kiril Stremousov, issued a stark critique of the minister, advising him to better shoot himself. 'Many people say that the Minister of Defense, who allowed this state of affairs to happen, could, as an officer, shoot himself, but, you know, the word 'officer' is an incomprehensible word for many.' Possible power move Russian President Vladimir Putinused the meeting yesterday to declare martial law in the four annexed regions of Ukraine and six neighbouring areas of Russia, plus Crimea, The Sun reports. The declaration of martial law by Putin is a move that will complicate matters on the ground significantly, as it will likely force Ukrainian citizens to fight against their own army. Meanwhile, Shoigu’s no-show in the video conference meeting has fueled lots of speculation about his future. Experts believe he will be replaced soon, if not already, by potential candidates like Sergei Surovikin the ‘Butcher General’ who has been placed recently in charge of directing the Russian front in Ukraine, The Sun reports.

I thought that Soigu's days were numbered from the beginning. Problem with that theory is that he is still there. Thus, I took an interest in a theory that I read that was put forth by a Ukrainian Defense Ministry official a while back because it may have filled in what was missing for me. He said that no matter how badly the Russian Army fucks up that Putin will hold on to Soigu until the last possible moment. The reason being- according to his theory- that Vlad is fully on alert and occupied with making sure that a coup does not happen. And that he or any Russian knows that if coup did occur that it would come from either FSB or the Army. And while Soigu is a ding-dong he is nevertheless loyal to Putin, and if he replaced Soigu with a new guy that - even if the new guy was loyal as well- it would give the FSB too much power because they are supported by the hard-liners and are fully, fully up to speed in how promote and manipulate everything around Putin. Putin knows it too, because he is an old KGB/FSB guy and he knows that under current circumstances, if he were in the FSB right now he would be making moves too. Having done it himself. So that is the Ukrainian defense ministry guy's view. I have also read- and I defer to Terr on this type of cultural thing- that the FSB and the other hardliner hawks are pretty racist and they are all ethnic Russians- and therefore do not like having Soigu in that position because he is a Tuvan peasant. The problem with moving Soigu out and moving the Syrian butcher in is that he needs the butcher to be down on the front lines making things happen. Not doing defense ministry stuff in Moscow. I mean he could do it but he better have a plan on how to replace him on the front because that is where the need is. There is also the problem that Butcher Boy may not be very bright. His history in Syria and Chechnya is to just line up artillery and level shit and kill civilians day after day. Whereas some of those FSB play 3-D chess day in and day to master palace intrigue waiting for their move. Just as Vlad did for decades. Yeh. Shoigu is a total failure, but he is Vlad's total failure. Ditto for Belarus Boy. Total idiot. But Vlad's idiot.
