Blackjack is feeding us with balancing information about other side of the story. For me it is often irritating-I must admit, but pushes me out from my comfort zone and this is actually a good thing. Ukraine is playing its social media game, so is Russia and the truth probably lies between them.
What actually interests me is whether Putin or Russia can do anything wrong in the eyes of dearly beloved comrade blackjack? Is the war, sorry- military operation, still going "по плану", as Putin likes to state? What kind of critical signal is needed to slightly destabilize true believers like blackjack?
I remember those apologists from the days of Soviet Union- it just is not possible for such a magnificent country to fall any time soon! Well, it did, despite the odds. By the way, nothing stopped US to hijack Russian precious minereal resources back then, but who remembers such an irrelevant point, eh?
Now is Russia incapable to conguer 3,5 times smaller neighbour with not even close military parity. Russian army is performing below any expectation level, loosing hundreds of poorly equipped men and dozens of higly praised tanks and armoured vehicles daily. Well, WWII started even worse but Russia still finished to conquer Berlin- why it has to be different now, right? The hope dies last...
What if Putin is really really wrong this time? Can you imagine what will happen to beloved Russia if he is distracted from reality for good? Something like it happened in 1598? Or in 1917? Or in 1991? Or in 2023? This cannot be ruled out for good, eh? Dying imperia lasts strokes, collapsing fantasy of the Third Rome, distracted world savoirs final crusade to West? Seems bit disoriented in time and space, for me at least.
