Then why do they need to be ruled by Moscow?

And if it was, I didn’t mean it

I’d love to hear whose fucking fault it was then. Someone’s gotta go out of a 8th floor window next week

Putin really doing a lot to erode any chance Russia ever controls Kursk again

Gotta socialize the failures, it’s what the people would want.

Who else could it be then ?

Yeah. it has nothing to do with invading ukraine. nothing at all. /s

The last resort of defense-obsessed dictator is the Shaggy air defense^TM^ when losing actual “historic russian lands”. 😆

Wow, he’s sounding a lot like Felon Drink Bleach.

Putin should stick to what he does best, poisoning panties

The relevant piece is the conclusion at the end of the transcript linked in the OP.

I feel like Politico misinterpretated this. He didn’t say it’s on them (not him), and didn’t blame anyone explicitly, he meant this topic is not a part of this public conversation, and it’d be dealt by them. This, as a piece of the whole picture, does mean something tho.

The issue is exhaustingly downplayed. Most of the conversation is held about evacuation, monetary help (now it’s $150!), the start of the school year, and not much is even said about security. One of the topics, the armament of civilian forces of territorial defence, and later these ‘problems … of security forces’, sounds not unlike what could’ve been told before the attack, or before the 2k22 invasion itself. No reassuring speeches, not even an aknowledgement that a part of the region is under foreign AF.

He still evades that, distances himself. He traditionally disappeared when shit hit the fan, even went to other country for a meeting (a political suicide in places where politics are practiced) and did not comment anything at all. And after two weeks the response is not unlike those he could say about a natural disaster that ‘just happened’. Hurr-durr, let your people cooperate with emergency services and cops, and let’s play it cool. BTW, let’s make schools open on a schedule, okay?

I’m not from Kursk, but I think it’s not in any sense encouraging for locals. Moreso, these terr-defence forces inspire more fear than security: how’d they recruit people and how disciplined are they if given weapons? And with such priorities, it doesn’t sound they want to sacrifice their onslaught elsewhere to take these territories back. Times and times again russian citizens are told to just deal with it. And, depressingly yet unsurprisingly, they would.

That’s real leadership right there.

I wish him many ‘not his faults’ for the future!

That’s quality leadership for you.

The fact that he feels the need to say this is a sign of his vulnerability, of the pressure he feels. The chorus of voices is only going to grow louder as Ukraine kills and captures more and more soldiers, more conscripts.

Putin blaming the security forces is the beginning of the end for him. The domestic security apparatus is the only thing keeping him in power.

Only, if he hadn’t started a special military operation none of this would be happening.
