This is not a fake, this is an official statement. The entry into negotiations by the Russians without preconditions. No demilitarization, no territorial claims (here is a question, of course), no denazification. Nothing. I've read it 15 times already and I don't understand what's going on.
Two connected posts this morning, but we may have reached inflection with Russia. Still, warning will Robinson is in order.

Geese, for an app that prided itself as the political town square, I think Howard Hughes…err Elon Musk, is surprised that reporters are watching…and reporting, on the meltdown
Finally, there are rumors Putin is not running for president. Today we got more than just rumor, that Dmitry Patrushev might succeed Putin. This is big, because we may be heading to a February 1917 style revolution.
History does not repeat, but it does rhyme.

The Turbo patriots, to use the Russian term, get it
Now danger will Robinson, Prighozhin is strengthening his position, including militia units. We may be seeing the very early stages of an internal civil war. It’s in my bingo card, but time.
They are having some riots in proper Russia. Whether these are more like protests or riots, depends. It’s an issue of training and supply. But Russia still believes a large army can overcome better weapons, and a NATO standard army
Zaporizhia may have to wait until the spring. Winter will have some issues. The east shows some progress. Yesterday a video appeared of Ukraine forces in Bakhmut.
Now to the Russian army
This tells me they are ultimately leave the city. Whether they will hold to the rest of the oblast is a good question. They are setting a defense in depth to try.
I used to do these every week to ten days at bird app, so consider this the opening of these.
First off, regarding Kherson.
It’s not clear where we are precisely. Flags are off. Russians seem to be taking anything not bolted to the ground
So where we are regarding #Ukraine
A short 🧵
Interesting pattern within the Federation
The museum has no doubt that the most valuable exhibits were the first to "evacuate" from the museum. They will probably go to the Crimea, but this may not be the last destination. At the same time, the museum cannot yet confirm whether the occupiers "saved" the toilet bowls.
Rashists under the guise of "evacuation" plundered the property of the Kherson Art Museum. Marauders took out exhibits and office equipment by trucks and buses for four days. As noted in the museum, the Russians did not even think about careful handling of the paintings - they were wrapped in some kind of rags.
