Quite a few reports all from same source though, it depends on its reliability and how long it takes for the original Putin to emerge mot one of the called doubles.

Re: Russia Invades
Wouldn’t suprise me in the slightest if the old dog was actually dead ,as that would be how they’d drip feed it ( ie heart attack) Though all that TG channel covers is what Putin’s “ doubles “ are doing within the daily Kremlin round of activity .
Though in a war where RUS announces its “taking up new better positions” can mean a horrible bloody defeat and the West announcing “ RUS are fighting with shovels and washing machines “ can mean a UKR defeat ,it’s impossible to really know .

Re: Russia Invades
Issue with the Putin heart attack reports is that it would not be the first time Putin had played dead to see who was looking to take over…
It seems highly likely the gulf/Eastern Europe conflicts are connected, it is clear as soon as you look at wider alliances.
Not political comment, so much as fact.

Re: Russia Invades
I don't want to derail the thread too much - I'll just say that Dagestan and Chechyna are republics that are part of the Russian Federation - Russia have had trouble with them, particularly with religious Islamic extremism/seperatist groups since the inception of the Russian Federation but Putin has been able to keep them in check for the most part by sorting out their respective leaders(oligarchs) with a smack load of cash.
Re: Russia Invades
I don't think they are connected but some will want to do so. Maybe the Palestinians discussed the attack with Iran, their chief sponsor and also a vital supplier of equipment to Russia, but most seem to think it was a Palestinian decision to attack. The timing of the assault seemed to coincide with the imminent closer relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia which has now been, officially at least, scuppered. It was a pot that was surely going to boil over sooner or later in any case.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 7:25 pmIssue with the Putin heart attack reports is that it would not be the first time Putin had played dead to see who was looking to take over…

It will obviously affect the war in the Ukraine as, apart from Iran's contributions, the US in particular is also a major supplier in both wars.

"One of Ukraine's greatest achievements since February 24 is the expulsion of the Russian military fleet from the Black Sea.
ANTON GERASHCHENKO-
It was in the Black Sea that we managed to prove that Ukraine will not only remain a contributor to global security, including food security, but is also capable of protecting security.
Thanks to our alternative export routes, we have already managed to transport 6 million tons of cargo for countries on three continents - Africa, Asia and Europe," - President Zelenskyy at the 33rd session of the International Maritime Organization Assembly.

Re: Russia Invades
Russia is going to keep up the pressure to maintain the war where no side can win whilst Ukraine gets military support. But the main supplier of the support, USA, is looking more doubtful since the Republicans are not backing it.
Re: Russia Invades
USA and UK playing with Israel now. Ukraine....be afraid.
Putin probably got his pals in Iran ro stirvthe Hamad attack, knowing how USA, UK immediately reacts.
Support for Israel and the anti fills the media and Ukraine falls from memory.

US intelligence also assessed that the war in Ukraine has devastated the pre-war Russian military
US intelligence also assessed that the war in Ukraine has devastated the pre-war Russian military, although Russia has partially offset these losses and continues to prepare for a long war in Ukraine. The declassified intelligence assessment reportedly stated that Russian forces have lost 87 percent of the total number of their pre-war active-duty ground troops and two-thirds of the tanks in their inventory before February 24, 2022.[10] The declassified intelligence assessment reportedly stated that Russian forces lost 315,000 personnel out of the 360,000 personnel, 2,200 out of 3,500 tanks, and 4,400 out of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers that participated in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The assessment reportedly stated that Russian ground forces have lost over a quarter of their pre-invasion stockpiles of military equipment as of late November 2023, reducing the complexity and scale of Russian offensive operations in Ukraine.

Earlier in this report it talks of the Russian attack, particularly on Avdiivka, being done to influence discussions on western support to Ukraine rather then for strategic purposes.
In my view the West has to consider not only their support but also what the alternatives are.

The only reason I can think they’ve released the news now is due to the virtual fall and encirclement of Avdiivka ,which is a huge thing for Russia due to this being the so called “ impenetrable fortress “ presume this allows them to utilise Donetsk fully ?
