By ‘talking’ you mean ‘wildly speculating’, yeah?
Most talk on the unsubstantiated rumours thread is wild speculation.
They're going to take over their one and only ally in the region because they've finally realised they can't defeat Ukraine and they don't want to go home empty-handed.After the Makei death, does this bizarre scenario seem even slightly more possible?
Kremlin plotting to liquidate Lukashenko, seize control of Belarus army - think tank
Sources within the Russian military leadership say the Kremlin has made a decision on a radical “solution” to the issue of dragging Belarus into Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. â Ukrinform.www.ukrinform.net
Late to the party but the southern group made the Guardian live feed about a week ago though I've heard nohing since. Quick Google showed a few papers mentioning it and also an ISW tweet I can't find so maybe worth checking their reports as I've at most skimmed them the last few weeks.Since this is the rumour thread, I heard from a friend who's closely following the war who has told me that the Ukrainian army has crossed the Dnipro at two points (one to the north and the other to the south of the Russian positions) and are actively engaging them. The northern group secured the dam and have crossed at that point. The southern group have established a beach head at the mouth of the river after an amphibious assault. Is there any truth to this?
Vladimir Putin slipped and fell down several stairs at his official residence.
Claims from a so-called Kremlin insider said that the Russian tyrant - who is said to be suffering from cancer - was helped to a sofa by bodyguards as his personal doctors rushed to assist him.
Putin is also alleged to have soiled himself during the fall.
Rumours have been rife that the Russian leader is seriously ill and leaked documents recently confirmed that he has early-stage Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer.
The latest allegation about Putin's health comes from the Russian Telegram channel General SVR which claims to have been given information by a Kremlin insider.
According to the channel, the Russian president was walking downstairs when he "stumbled and fell to his back, after which he fell on his side and slid down a couple of steps".
The fall led to bruising of Putin's coccyx and highlighted problems with the despot's "cancer of the gastrointestinal tract".
The tyrant's stumble caused an "involuntary" reaction and doctors escorted Putin to the bathroom and cleaned him up before examining him.
Meanwhile, Putin appeared to wheeze and gasp through a meeting of grieving mothers whose children have been killed in the Ukraine war and his feet appeared to twitch during talks with Kazakhstan's president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev - a possible indicator of Parkinson's disease.
There was a story doing the rounds yesterday from a dodgy source that Putin fell downstairs:
Vladimir Putin 'falls down stairs and soils himself' after claims he has cancer
Russian Telegram channel named General SVR has regularly claimed that Vladimir Putin is plagued by a number of health conditions, including cancer, despite the Kremlin's insistence that the despot is in good healthwww.mirror.co.uk
It doesn't matter whether the story is true. The important thing is that the story, whatever its source, is intended to diminish his stature.
I have no idea who General SVR is, let alone whether they are a Kremlin insider.
That doesn't make it any more credible as they're all using the same source. It just shows that the source's job is being done.Its being reported on plenty news channels now.
He's hidden inside a Brittney Griner cybernetic fleshsuitReally?

Ukraine. But he might not be safe.Who would take him
Who would take him
Kent probably would as wellCanvey Island. We could give him a title and a seat in the Lords too. We already have Baron Lebedev of Hampton and Siberia, so why not Viscount Putin of Canvey and Crimea
Lundy island being crapped on by all the puffins with their gay pride beaks.I bet St Kilda is delightful this time of year (tbh, I'd love to visit, but not in December).
And then cut off the supply boat.Could give him Sealand.
Or the concrete supports.And then cut off the supply boat.
Starvation is worse. Put Hancock on it and see who eats who. And film it for profit (very Tory).Or the concrete supports.
