Prague. Czechoslovakia.

And just to be clear, there's good internet there, but I didn't drag along a laptop, and trying to type on a phone is an exercise in futility, so after a few attempts I just gave up.

So that begs the question, Duk: what are you doing in Prague, CR?

Putin was playing 4D chess while Biden was playing checkers. A master intel officer versus a dim witted 80 year old.

Vladimir Putin's health is a subject of intense conversation inside the Biden administration after the intelligence community produced its fourth comprehensive assessment at the end of May. The classified U.S. report says Putin seems to have re-emerged after undergoing treatment in April for advanced cancer, three U.S. intelligence leaders who have read the reports tell Newsweek.

The assessments also confirm that there was an assassination attempt on Putin's life in March, the officials say.

The high-ranking officials, who represent three separate intelligence agencies, are concerned that Putin is increasingly paranoid about his hold on power, a status that makes for a rocky and unpredictable course in Ukraine. But it is one, they say, that also makes the prospects of nuclear war less likely.

"Putin's grip is strong but no longer absolute," says one of the senior intelligence officers with direct access to the reports. "The jockeying inside the Kremlin has never been more intense during his rule, everyone sensing that the end is near."

There were seven separate attempts against Obama. Big deal.

Putin is ’embalming himself alive’ and ‘hitting botox heavily’ amid health speculation
Vladimir Putin ‘hits the Botox quite heavily’ and looks like ‘he is trying to embalm himself while he’s still alive’, a defence and security analyst has suggested. Professor Michael Clarke, a King’s College London war studies fellow, said that while there is ‘no convincing evidence’ the Russian president is seriously ill, he is constantly surrounded by ‘a little team of doctors’. He was asked about Putin’s health during a Sky News Q&A amid reports speculating about the Kremlin leader’s puffy face and seemingly unsteady appearance at meetings, where he has been seen trembling or gripping the table in apparent pain

The push on Kiev was meant to topple Zelensky. It became an embarrassing failure and resulted in heavy losses and a humiliating retreat back to Russia. Putin did a bit better in the south but there was no overwhelming knockout blow. Ukraine has shown remarkable fortitude and resilience. They aren’t giving up. The war has now become a head to head slugging match in the east. It’s brutal but less blitzkrieg and more artillery duels and trenches. This sort of incremental back and forth fighting can go on for a long time.

Russia’s Black Sea Flagship Sinks After Ukraine Claims Missile Strike
Moscow says sailors aboard missile cruiser Moskva were rescued

KYIV, Ukraine—The flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, the warship Moskva, sank Thursday from damage suffered from a fire following what the Ukrainian military said was a cruise missile strike targeting the vessel.

Russia said the source of the fire was unknown but had set off explosions of ammunition on board. A statement by the Russian Defense Ministry, reported by state agencies, said the ship sank in stormy weather due to structural damage as it was being towed to port.

That went well for pukin' putin.

When The Lies Come Home

After lying for months, the media are preparing the public for Ukraine’s military collapse.

The Western media did everything in its power to give the Ukrainian defense the appearance of far greater strength than it really possessed. Careful observers noted that the same video clips of Russian tanks under attack were shown repeatedly. Local counterattacks were reported as though they were operational maneuvers.

Russian errors were exaggerated out of all proportion to their significance. Russian losses and the true extent of Ukraine’s own losses were distorted, fabricated, or simply ignored. But conditions on the battlefield changed little over time. Once Ukrainian forces immobilized themselves in static defensive positions inside urban areas and the central Donbas, the Ukrainian position was hopeless. But this development was portrayed as failure by the Russians to gain “their objectives.”

Ground-combat forces that immobilize soldiers in prepared defenses will be identified, targeted, and destroyed from a distance. When persistent overhead intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets, whether manned or unmanned, are linked to precision guided-strike weapons or modern artillery systems informed by accurate targeting data, “holding ground” is fatal to any ground force. This is all the more true in Ukraine, because it was apparent from the first action that Moscow focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces, not on the occupation of cities or the capture of Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper River.

The result has been the piecemeal annihilation of Ukrainian forces. Only the episodic infusion of U.S. and allied weapons kept Kiev’s battered legions in the field; legions that are now dying in great numbers thanks to Washington’s proxy war.

Kiev’s war with Moscow is lost.
