It’s a possibility I guess. But would the madman listen?

Seen this today regarding Xi Jingpin. Not sure if this is BS or something serious happening.
Really? Gosh, where's the Xi Jinping rumour visible? Thanks
Aahh ok, I found the rumours....

Well, maybe not...he does seem to be on an escalation track
All over twitter on the #Beijing #chinacoup #xijiping tags.
But... it is more likely to be rubbish than not.
We'll know tomorrow either way.

Hmmm ... bottles and flares going onr way; bullets coming back the other.
Tough choice..............
Thinking further along these lines, haven't we got IT whizzkids - hackers who've come over to the good side - that can hack into the Russian systrms and put that message acriss - albeit purporting to be official Kremlin information?
After all, if Putin's geeks and influencers managed to make all of us vote for Brexit (as many believe, anyway) why can't we do the same back? Is there an IT/influencer war we should be doing better?
There have been reports of that, anti war messages etc, appearing on news feeds suddenly, but Russia has an army of techs that close it down.
I suspect many of the Kremlin supporters blindly support the party line whatever... it's just easier for them to do that.
Unfortunately our special relationship with the US means, that unless the ‘autism’ defence works, we ship all our hackers off to the US for trial never to be seen again.
GCHQ skilled up though but not sure they are especially going for state interference like North Korea, Iran, China, Russia

That depends what your objective is.
If it is to get the truth out in front of the Russian masses, then I would have thought that the mobilisation is already doing an excellent job. The genie is out of the bottle.
The Russian masses are now all talking about the war. The Kremlin's insistence on calling it a 'special military operation', now only highlights that they have a very low opinion of their own citizens, and lie to them as a matter of course.
Everyone now knows they are ruled by the iron fist of a brutal regime, that is losing its own war.

Victim blaming. What a tosser. A very self important tosser as well. Unbelievable to write that letter to the wife of the leader of an invaded country.

All that money and fame, and he's devoid of any judgement. He hasn't even got the excuse of being exposed to a lifetime of Russian state TV.

Haven't bothered to listen to a word he has said for years, an utter tosspot...
I always shake my head when public personalities decide to stick their oar in and give us all the pleasure of their own opinion on such matters. He'd have been wiser just to button it.

Joining Le Tissier who put the question out there:
"Whether hundreds of murdered women and children might just be crisis actors in a set up job staged by Ukrainian Nazis?"
