On 8/21/2022 at 6:18 AM, Gorth said: I don't think the guy was speaking against Putin... on the contrary. Many consider him the brain behind Putin and the invasion of Ukraine Expand The former... yeah, nah. He's spoken out extensively against Putin in very similar vein to how Girkin/ Strelkov has- he's not going far enough, too populist, too conservative and averse to risk (should have gone to Tblisi, should have invaded Ukraine in 2008 too etc), listens to liberals (like, uh, Medvedev*) too much- something he's repeated many times. Much like Girkin/ Strelkov probably not enough for Putin to bother doing anything about though, as he just isn't very important. Which actually actually makes him a near ideal target since he's got a ludicrously undeserved high profile in the west, but is nowhere near important enough in reality to warrant special protection. The latter... yeah, that's kind of lol really and one of the reasons my opinions of media coverage are so low. He's got far more in common practically with, as above, Girkin/ Strelkov than Putin. Far, far, far more, and despite the fact he'd probably hate the comparison. He's also not an 'aide' or confidante as described in multiple articles, he- by his own admission- has actually barely even met Putin. He's also wildly divergent in terms of even how much 'intangible' influence he claims to have, ie how much he claims Putin follows his dogma. Sometimes contradicting himself on that question in the same interview. Which is because Putin, of course, isn't really following Dugin much at all, it's just that Dugin described the blatantly obvious Eurasian strategy in a book the media has picked up on. Problem is journalists reading asterisking wikipedia and referencing each others' bad references instead of actually reading/ listening to Dugin himself. *ok, technically arch nationalist and complete fruitbat Zhiro was an example of an actual Russian Liberal, but he was talking little l liberal, not big L

Expand Might be to soon in the morning here, but I still do not see any connection to the information, that Grey Zone is posting again. If they really started to, well I would not be surprised, as the idea, that every single wagner propagandist died in Popasna is as Ridiculous, as the idea of Lavrov not spewing bull**** In this case, there is still fact, that their channel was silent for 7 days, right after the hit in Popasna, and there is definitely proof by their own post, that there were their lead propagandists on-site. Before the hit, they were posting a lot of content, after the hit, nothing Which makes claims, that the administrators of the channel have been either dead or injured pretty plausible. So the restart of the channel means, that either the injured guy/s recovered enough to spew his propaganda again, or Prigozhin used his money to transfer the ownership of the channel to different people. Telegram is a company founded by Russians, based in British Virgin Islands and UAE, which pretty much makes the possibility that some kind of ownership transfer might have happened pretty plausible as well 1 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

If you want an example of actual handwaving, can't get much better than that. Thing is, if you, say, called Cheney "Bush's Brain"- or "Bush's Rasputin"- people might disagree, but there would also be a lot of evidence you could point to in support of it. With this there's... *crickets* when you look for similar evidence of Dugin being "Putin's Brain", let alone things like an aide or confidante. Certainly Dugin himself is consistent on one thing, that he's only an indirect influence. Guess "Putin's episode of Neighbours on in the background while he fixes dinner" while more accurate doesn't quite have the cachet though. 1
