Wladimir Putins Russland: Mission erfüllt, Putin kann gehen

"Russlands Wladimir Putin glaubt wahrscheinlich selbst, dass es seine Mission sei, Amerika zu besiegen, eine neue Weltordnung zu schaffen, in der Russland das Sagen haben wird, und so weiter und so fort. Aber er irrt sich. Seine Mission war es, Russland zu vernichten. Und das hat er auch geschafft. Er kann nun in Frieden gehen.

Tatsächlich ist dies das Einzige, was er erreicht hat, sonst nichts. Die Wirtschaft schrumpft, die demografische Situation verschlechtert sich, die technologische Rückständigkeit vertieft sich, überall herrscht eine überwältigende Heuchelei – all dies sind Errungenschaften seiner Regierungszeit. Die Aufzählung ließe sich noch lange fortsetzen. Krieg und Massaker sind der Höhepunkt...."

Militärexperten: Wladimir Putin plant Angriff auf eigenes Land, um sich den Rückhalt der Russen zu sichern

Der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin plant offenbar einen Angriff auf das eigene Land, um den Hass der Russinnen und Russen gegen die Ukraine weiter zu schüren. So verbreite der Kreml derzeit gezielt Propaganda über einen bevorstehenden Anschlag auf die russische Region Belgorod, um die öffentliche Unterstützung für den Krieg in der Ukraine zurückzugewinnen. Das berichten am Mittwoch die Militärexpertinnen und -experten des Washingtoner Thinktanks Institute for the Study of War (ISW). (...)

Die russischen Aussagen seien „absurd und zielen nur darauf ab, die breite Öffentlichkeit einzuschüchtern, um den Krieg in der Ukraine zu unterstützen“, so die ISW-Militärexpertinnen und -experten. Die Ukraine habe kein strategisches Interesse an einer Invasion Russlands und nicht die Fähigkeiten dafür, entkräfteten die Expertinnen und Experten die Behauptungen aus Russland. (...)

Die kremlkritische Zeitung „Meduza“ berichtete, dass inzwischen selbst die Regierung in Moskau die russische Bevölkerung als „kriegsmüde“ einschätzt. So hätten russische Bürgerinnen und Bürger bei einer Meinungsumfrage der russischen Präsidialverwaltung vor allem Gleichgültigkeit und Apathie für den Krieg in der Ukraine empfunden – aber keine große Unterstützung gezeigt. Die aktuellen Geschehnisse werten die ISW-Expertinnen und -Experten als Signal dafür, dass die Kremlpropaganda nicht mehr in der Lage sei, von den realen Folgen des Krieges für die russische Gesellschaft abzulenken.

Elon Musk vs Wladimir Putin

Elon Musk has no combat experience, armed or unarmed. He definitely couldn’t “build an iron-man suit” personally, and neither could people who work for him who actually have relevant technical skills. Vladimir Putin is ex-KGB and has a black belt in judo.
