... by Larry about (emphasis!!) attempt on Putin's Novgorod residence.
Did Zelensky approve the attack? I doubt it. I think this was ordered and executed by Ukrainian intelligence, with assistance from at least the British services, in order to sabotage the talks and damage Zelensky. This was not an actual attack to kill Putin because he has been living in the Kremlin for the last four years in order to reduce his vulnerability to an attack like this. The Ukrainian officials who ordered this were more intent on embarrassing Zelensky than on killing Putin. I believe this is one more indicator that Zelensky’s days are numbered as his opponents in Ukraine, with encouragement from Western intelligence operatives, appear to be maneuvering to replace him and keep the war going. News broke over the weekend that General Zaluzhny, who has been in London for more than a year as the ostensible Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, is heading back to Kiev at the end of this week. The chess pieces in this iteration of Game of Thrones are moving.
It makes political sense and we know that Ze is a dead man walking. But it must be stressed--in the last 10 years Western (lack of) intel services paraded themselves as amateurs in terms of strategic intelligence and, especially, strategic forecasting. They simply have no clue about what real war is and how strategy works. 404 is a spent entity as is European NATO whose industrial and military capabilities are puny. They hope to keep the war going but they only know PR. Some among their military top brass really think that Russians will be impressed with 60 French Rafales or 20 British obsolete Tornadoes. But Larry has a point--for them it is whatever extends the life of utterly corrupt and incompetent Western "elites". As I stress non-stop, at this stage Russians simply don't care.
