Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Top advisor is certainly a wrong assessment of his role, they’re not in contact. But his ideas, albeit transformed a bit, were one of the foundations of Putin’s own ideology/understanding of geopolitics & history.
There’s a tonne of Dugin and daughter quotes on Reddit that make this pure karma. They were the worst of the worst and likely a reason this war has happened. They probably didn’t expect the horrors they wished for to arrive at their doorstep.
Strange if they went after dugins daughter rather than himself. In terms of priority. Whoever did this.
Dugin was supposed to be in that car, so he was most likely the target.
Ukrainians would get something from this — killing one of the people whose name is closely associated (with reason) with the idea of the “Russian World” would be an ideological win, plus if they’re able to execute hits near Moscow it’ll strike fear in Russian high-profile supporters of the war (look how different the strikes of whatever it was in Crimea were perceived in Russia). The question would, of course, be “why Dugin” as he’s not someone who actively participates in the war and whose death would be a blow to the army, but… an argument that I can think of is that Dugin may have been the best compromise between recognizability & lack of security, I’d imagine that blowing up some general or politician would be way harder.
All that said, I still don’t think that it’s been them. I have no idea why someone internally would want to kill him, but logistically it sounds way easier for, say, FSB to eliminate him rather then for a secret Ukrainian agent deep beyond the enemy line. The most logical explanation would be provocation — to blame Ukrainians for it in order to justify… mobilization perhaps? Or simply to keep public in high alert.
By most reports Dugin was supposed to be in the car with her but switched cars last minute.
There is talk that he was supposed to be in the vehicle too but changed his mind in the last minute and took another car. He arrived at the scene just after the explosion.
This quote isn’t in the video, at least, not fully — she says “these people… and they’re not even people anymore”.
The general sentiment is correct though, she was a horrific human being.
An accidental car explosion on the road?
Shit happens
Caused by smoking again.
Again, the guy said he couldn’t make out what the tweet was saying, so I re-wrote it.
On one occasion the Russian secret service faked the discovery of Ukrainian agents.What's up with The Sims 3?
Presumably someone followed orders to strictly and deliberately to sabotage and put Sims 3 there instead of 3 SIMs.
So after Zhirinovsky, it's time for Dugin.
Is there any examples of her out there being pro-war/anti-ukraine/an all round shit? The tweet "mistranslation" annoys me because whilst I would like to believe she was a horrible person, they shouldn't need to lie to paint her a villain.
Interesting that the UK MoD official Twitter account is name-checking Girkin.
Tons. She regularly appeared on Russian television, federal channels, RT & the likes, she worked as her father’s spokesperson (and he is a fascist panrussian “***********”), she had a telegram channel with an inconspicuous letter “Z” in its name with tons of pro-War/anti-Ukrainian stuff posted there.
Erdogan used a coup against him to eliminate all opposition and jail a lot of high profile critics.
This is a tactic often used by autocrats. Their police can easily plan evidence against whoever they want to prosecute and the public often accepts it.
Putin doesn’t need any excuse to murder or imprison his critics, he does that regularly.
We’ll see how this plays out, I guess.
“the globalist Anglo-Saxon elite in service to their inhuman transhumanist ideology”
Those are certainly words, arranged in an order…
Feels like factional squabbling among the intelligence services or an actual Russian anti-government group.

Back to the actual war, Ukraine keeps getting more and more modern western equipment. Small detail that appeared in the list of to be delivered weapons by the German government: For the first time 255 "Vulcano" rounds were announced, which can be used by NATO-standard 155mm artillery. This is a GPS-guided ammunition with a firing range of up to 80km (so it's a bit weaker, but has a far longer range than the M982 Excalibur) and therefore enables Ukrainian artillery to strike even deeper behind the lines.
This is a direct delivery by the industry, not even the Bundeswehr has purchased these so far.

Makes you wonder why Dugin chose not to be in the same car...
Now that is quite the development.
While 255 shells might seem a small number, the fact that they are made to be accurate to 1 meter is a game changer if you can get within range.
Excalibur and Vulcano rounds are not quite as accurate as 1 meter, they are still very accurate rounds, especially considering their range.
According to BAE Systems the official accuracy fot the Excalibur is a CEP <20 meters but from my understanding the US army has it closer to 5 meters based on their experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The official numbers for the Vulcano is a CEP <5 meters using only the GPS mode and <3 meters using the laser guidance fuze. Using the laser guidance fuze will of course require forward observers, painting the target.
Still, both type of rounds are some of the most accurate artillery rounds produced today and will certainly make a difference.
Ah you’re right - I’d misread a report on the testing of the round saying that it had “metric” accuracy at 70km as saying it had accuracy to 1 meter at that range.
The other stuff I’m seeing is 5m to “less than 5m”.
But still, yes… you’ll not be able to tell much difference when a 155mm shell hits at 3m or 5m from its target.
When I heard the news last night, I thought about what would've happened if Francis Fukuyama had the same done to him back in 2004.
I think he's changed his views on the end of history since then.
Might explain some of the fires too within Russia in recent months if there's a domestic anti-Putin group operating.
