Nothing in the '36 hour announcement' to stop the defence of Ukraine by getting the invaders pushed back - they are still illegally in another country
The latest Power Vertical podcast is a good listen with Russian opposition leader Vladimir Milov - lots about Putin and the difficulties he faces with different factions, why Medvedev has become such a hawk, historical parallels with Gorbachev and Russian/Ukrainian relations.
Whilst I’m fascinated by the updates we get from Borolad’s contact, often with info that comes to light later, the one part I do still struggle with is Putin being poisoned/incapacitated or similar - I believe he uses doubles, that’s not a stretch but I still can’t help but think he’s still the main man in Russia right now… always willing to be proven wrong though! Anyway, this podcast has a lot of interest regarding Putin so well worth a listen.

I think that most of the problems arise from the fact that, while he is sick, he still wields some power. Whether he was poisoned or not depends upon whether Naryshkin was telling the truth, though it's hard to imagine a reason for him making it up.

There have been widespread rumours of Putin being ill for quite some time and hopefully they are true, though who knows what would follow….
I’ve long thought that much of what we read on this thread is wishful thinking.

I also feel Borolad is genuine and believes in the information he is putting forward.I’ve mentioned before that one of the main reasons for my scepticism is the lack of the info being used to attack and divide the Kremlin and sow further discontent amongst the population, I can’t help thinking it would be all over the place if it was known by enough people. So my hunch is that he’s still in charge, but not without massive problems. Still greatly appreciate the updates and I’m not ITK so perfectly comfortable with being off the mark with my hunches!
Yes, I’ve said before I’m not sure a double would meet Xi etc, but I think photo ops and when out and about it would be quite normal for an authoritarian leader to have doubles.
The illness rumours have been around for years, here’s hoping it’s true but there’s so much information and misinformation out there it’s impossible for us to know for certain.
There’s certainly a lot of wishful thinking and conjecture on this thread, it’s only natural - even Borolad has informed us when his source is guessing or offering opinions, regardless there’s been some meaty stuff in there and they certainly know more than yer average punter and I’ve no reason at all to doubt that Borolad is being genuine. That said, a dose of scepticism is always healthy when getting stuff of social media.
The mainstream media were reporting that Putin was ill earlier this year.Putin being terminally ill is being reported in some of the mainstream media now - not that they're always reliable.
It was on the Mirrors new site yesterday, quoting Ukraine intelligence. Of course there's always room for propaganda and disinformation.
I think this part is all true. Doubles and all.
I also feel Borolad is genuine and believes in the information he is putting forward.
My sense is that the source is very well informed in relation to what is going on in Ukraine and he provides some very detailed insights.
It is the broader, more speculative stuff which I sometimes find less credible and not uncommonly proves to be wide of the mark.
Great thread though.

We will all drink to that!I do hope this thread isn’t needed much longer!
Churchill did it, I believe.Regardless of his health, it’s a murky existence where a political leader sends out lookalikes to represent him, on so many levels that is unacceptable.

Yes, the speculative stuff is to be regarded with a bit more caution, but agreed, it’s a great thread, if I ever bump into Borolad I’ll happily buy him a pint! Although I do hope this thread isn’t needed much longer!
