There's talk in Russian media about Ukrainians planning attacks on nuclear power stations (Kurchatov near Kursk and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine) and dirty bombs. It could be Putin's usual threats, or he might be planning a false flag operation (as with the Kakhovka Dam). He must be aware that, if the order is given, a mutiny and the demise of his regime could follow.

@BartoszMilewski Mutiny? In Russia? In 2024?
They're pretty damn well know that it couldn't.

@dpwiz Everything seems impossible until it happens. The next Prigozhin might not be a complete moron.

@BartoszMilewski This is the central problem of governance in Russia. After so many years of systematic breeding for loyalty instead of competence, the morons are far and wide.
If you're an intelligent being and want to have a seat at the table you need to be guilty of something. With compromise being a price for admission, those non-morons who are in are basically evil and held in contempt by the people.
The hope has left the nation.
