Putin Has Gone NUTS!! (Not What You Think)

WWIII is on the horizon.

Weird 4-Way Annexation Handshake

President Vladimir Putin has made a recorded message in the past few days. He stated that the four occupied territories in Ukraine are now Russia.

And threatened that it would use nuclear weapons to defend its newly acquired territory.

The Russia-Ukraine War entered a new dangerous phase.

What does this mean for the war between Russia and Ukraine going forward? And how will the next few months of the war unfold?

After centuries of atrocities against the Ukrainian people at the hands of Russians. Such as Holodomor and now recently the massacre in Bucha. It seems that they don’t know when enough is enough. Is all this to the useless irredentist project that most Russians don’t care about? To rebuild the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union? And at what cost?

A poorer Russian people? Civil Unrest? Recognition in history books? Superpower status? Why?

In this new message, Vladimir Putin made his intentions crystal clear. Russia deserves all of Ukraine’s coastline if not all the country. Because it was part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.

The regime sees Ukraine as the other 22 republics of the Russian Federation. And not as a sovereign independent nation.

This is a dangerous precedent. Nazi Germany made a similar precedent when they annexed Austria, and we know where that led us to.

But unlike Nazi Germany in Austria (Anschluss), Russians weren’t received in Ukraine with open arms.

Russia’s Kleptocratic Regime Is In Jeopardy

You can’t trust the Russian regime, those are facts. The war is unpopular in Russia.

People in Russia are fleeing on masse. Forbes estimates that 700 thousand Russians fled the country to escape the mobilization. Russians are burning down draft offices all over the country. And people are throwing away Russian flags in Propaganda rallies.

Ukraine is making more progress this week than the Russians made in 7 months of the war.

The Russian armed forces forgot what it was fighting for.

The situation is bad on all fronts for the Kremlin.

To the point that it needed to annex the 4 occupied territories in Ukraine. To use as a legal justification for the use of nuclear weapons and a possible formal declaration of war. In the case of a Ukrainian advance.

(Even though it doesn’t even control the oblasts in their totality)

This situation proves how dated the Russian army is. Especially in comparison to western armies. And that, Putin, indeed, buried his army.

Ukraine had 8 years to prepare for a war with Russia with the help of the West. And they preyed on it as much as possible.

The regime underestimated the Ukrainian army on the battlefield. And overestimated its own army. And they are paying for it with a very severe blow to Russian morale and discipline in the war. Putin has a lot to lose at home and abroad, his house of cards seems more fragile as the days go on.

Putin is currently suffering a crisis of legitimacy in his country.

If Russia loses, Putin will most likely be overthrown from power. Forcing Russia to pay for war reparations. Damages and the atrocities committed in the war. And a scar that will take several years for Ukraine to heal.

Who knows if WMDs are going to deter the West from helping Ukraine? They most likely won’t.

And the last piece of leverage he had. The destruction of the Nordstream pipeline made Putin’s hand worthless. And it gets worse when the EU replaced it with the new Norway-Poland gas pipeline.

He doesn’t have many options to further his goals. It’s impossible to do it without catastrophic consequences at this point.

His wealth, power, and status are in limbo. He has been in power for over 20 years, plundering his country daily with his fellow oligarchs. Living a lavish lifestyle most could only dream of at the expense of his people.

Still, he has imperial ambitions in Eastern Europe.

This will be the story of another Tsar falling and this fall will hit hard.

Personal Opinion

Thank you everyone for reading my article, I am extremely grateful. I hope I was able to share my thoughts with you about the recent situation in Ukraine.

When it came to the invasion, back in February, I didn’t support any side. But I did and still do condemn the USA and EU for hypocrisy and double standards. That’s a stand that remains since the beginning of the war.

Also, I do not support Vladimir Putin’s regime.

I condemn authoritarian regimes. Especially in those, the use of the country’s wealth is a personal piggy bank for the elites. I say this because I was raised in a country with the same characteristics as Russia. Strangely enough, the US has never tried to overthrow our government. Hmmm… that’s beside the scope of this article.

Plus I met a couple of Russians before and one with Ukrainian roots. And they are very cool people that I still talk to today.

I am from Angola.

Yes, a former communist and soviet ally.

And the exact same situation that happens in Russia since 1993 has happened in my country. Since independence in 1975.

I suspect it to be a post-communist disease.

We had an election on August 24th, 2022 and the result has been the same.

The party that has been in power since independence and is being reelected. Because all of us are definitely stupid and elections are fair. The result is always to vote for the people who plunder our country and don’t represent our interests (Wink, wink). Remember someone?

For these reasons I deeply feel empathetic for the Ukrainian and Russian people. For having for long time leaders that don’t represent their interests.

[Ukraine has definitely gone in a better direction than Angola and Russia]

And lie and fool the population to further their own agenda. Which is stealing the wealth of the country to build palaces.

I have a message for the Russians and Ukrainians who feel the same thing.

My Message For Russians And Ukrainians

Message for the Russians: Continue what you’re doing, protest

(Online [With a VPN or Tor so Putin won’t send you to the Gulag] or Publicly [if you have balls and don’t care]).

Or leave the country. Either way, the aim is to weaken the regime.

You can’t feed it if you won’t accept to draft for the army. Search “How to break an arm” to avoid this outcome.

Protesting will make more people show how bad the situation is. Governments have a social contract with its people and your government isn’t doing its part. So you shouldn’t comply with their rules.

If you want to make a protest, use private apps like Briar and Signal to communicate anonymously.

And keep burning those draft offices I love to hear about on the news.

Use bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies if you want to buy goods abroad. To circumvent the effects of the sanctions on you [Use cold storage wallets for security].

If you want to further support work you can donate to my Bitcoin address:

Thank you. Please show us that your country is not meant to be ruled by Tsars.

Message for the Ukrainians: Also continue doing what you’re doing. You will win the war if you force Russia to retreat from your borders. And as things are right now, you most likely will. But don’t think the war is over. Far from it.

If you want to maintain your independence, consider signing the following petitions:

Thank you for spending time in reading this article, more is coming on the way and I will see you soon.
