‘For western ears it sounds strange’ 😂😂😂

[Frisbieinstein]

I get the impression these people don't know what they're talking about.

[lettucesalad]

Proghozin should have his soldiers carry mattresses outside the windows of any buildings he enters over 2 stories.

[stevenkeller]

This is a ruse. No one should be fooled by this very clever play.

When you cannot win them you have to join them

[thiagoalcantara]

So what is it now is he a friend of putin or a treat to putin. One day he is in exile, the other day he is on nato border Poland is scrambling, third day he took hold of Belorussian nuclear weapons and now he is back in Moscow. Your coverage is confusing me. It’s my fault tho I don’t know why I’m listening to this experts who have no clue about anything

[Dumpsteret]

Russia, "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma".

[stefan]

The FSB invited him for a special tea ceremony...

[kmar]

That moment we realised we were fooled

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

except the only image from him in st Pietersburg shows him in a hat and sunglasses with his hand INTACT, while he is known to miss part of a finger.

So the last images of him were leaving in the car, since then only an audio tape.

i reckon he is either dead or being interrogated in a cell.
