I was going to ask a #Russia #Ukraine poll about what Putin would say in today’s speech. Glad I didn’t.
As Michael Weiss said on Twitter “ No air show, no mass mobilization, no declaration of war, a few no-show tanks, allusions to the “moral degradation” of the West (read: gays and the Wizarding World of cultural backlash), & much ado about Castle Wolfenstein fantasies.”
He really is losing, isn’t he?
@smittycanada1 No, Putin would have had to legally transfer power, most likely to Nikolai Patrushev. Putin hasn’t done that. Then again, Putin is probably afraid he would never wake up again.
The next few days of the war will be momentous, according to Mark Hertling. I’d watch how the war goes to see if Putin ever goes under the knife.
