    I love how a lot of them completely missed who Budanov is. Now having this weird moment where they can’t dismiss him as being a Russian shill, and now they don’t know what to do. 😂

      Thread i linked in my other post here is absolutely hilarious, libs regrouping on the new positions, our hexbear comrades mercilessly calling them Russian bots and libs swirl with confusion.

        It’s hilarious how they immediately got invested into the whole Russia did it narrative, and now Ukrainian intelligence chief is coming out saying there was no foul play. I’m honestly curious what Budanov’s angle on this is.

          Zelensky straight up said he was killed by Putin like “thousands of others” but now Budanov confirms Russian version. Some internal conflict i would say, but possibly a nothingburger since such things does happen failry regularily in fucked up postsocialist bureocracies when rightwingers lose their shit.

            Yeah that’s true, there is definitely factionalization happening though. I imagine as things continue to unravel militarily, we’ll start seeing increased struggles for power within the political system as people will smell opportunity to unseat Zelensky.
