Indeed. Create a society that is corrupt and bribable on every level, and everything has its price. Totally insidious. Horrible, as you say, no one is trustworthy

'Sources say that together with him, 13 other senior officers have been detained for questioning and 15 have been dismissed or suspended. They were detained hours after the start of the mutiny.'
Detained hours after the start of the mutiny?
You could be forgiven for thinking that the underlying aim of the 'rebellion' was to flush out those who were not 100% behind Putin.
Has Russia just had a Stalinist purge?
Could be ... Or maybe a week after the start...and they are trying to show the people how 'on it' they were really

Sorry - I don't think I will ever be up to speed on Russian politics, manoeuvring, blame-passing etc.Could be ... Or maybe a week after the start...and they are trying to show the people how 'on it' they were really
What I do appreciate is how Putin et al attach the most - extraordinary - importance to the optics. This is a real weakness.
Yep, it's like the development of the script for the most devious, double crossing spy film... right in front of our eyes.
Cunning plan - steal his contact lenses.

He's got special Russian military contact lenses with a facial recognition facility. They work very well until he looks himself in the mirror.
(There's a cracking conspiracy theory that suggests that the original Putin no longer exists).
Back to my point - the Kremlin elite have pulled the wool over the eyes of the Russian masses for so long, that they are completely and utterly obsessed with how things look. Anything that suggests that they are not in total control, goes down very, very badly. This is a potential goldmine.

I'd just add that this twitter poster Sushko, is a real clickbait account.
He does copy post all general news stories that appear in others news accounts, but there's also a lot of made up unsubstantiated BS/rumours, for clicks.
Maybe this is real, but also high chance from Sushko it isnt.

Sadly stinks of false flag if true to give the Orcs the reason to blow the nuclear power station. Hope I'm wrong
Sushko is an absolute charlatan. A grifter who is worth ignoring.
Hmmm, thanks. I was thinking similar about Sushko when I looked through many of his posts yesterday.

I have no idea whether the events at Voronezh are real, false, a false flag, some and some, or something else we haven't thought of.
I know I wrote the following a few days ago, but in view of events at Voronezh, I think it is worth repeating.
Several months ago, the Royal United Services Institute predicted that as Russia continues to lose the ground war, it would focus more on other fronts, i.e. propaganda, disinformation and cyber warfare.
