Most of us cant read cyrillic script, and you cant easy run a picture through Google Translate. Initial source was article in Rus newspaper dated July 10, 2014 http://www.kp.ru/daily/26254.4/3133769/. Author (Dmitry Steshin) predicted “south group” of pro-Ukrainian forces to be cut in three separate “pots”, with the rest of pro-Ukr troops retreating towards Mariupol.

Roman Alymov Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Probably it is more for "Because, Russia", but if asked here: I must tell you i am very skeptical about Rus ruling elite in general and Gov in particular, as it is mostly bunch of weak pro-western (or Western-controlled through their assets) politicians rooted deep in Yeltsin era. But calling them "hysterical" is oversimplification, especially when it comes to Zhirinovsky. I was able to observe this man very closely in person - in early 2000th one car dealer company hired Kubinka's PzIV for their show, and Zhirinovsky was invited speaker at this show, dressed in Soviet VDV uniform and giving one of his hysterical "we will reach Indian ocean"-style speeches for the crowd from tank turret we were sitting next to him. What surprised me was that he was immediately "switching off" his hysteria when going behind curtain out of public eyes, and "switching on" again when back on public. He is very wise and self-controlling man. Is he good man? Definitely not. Is he self-serving? Definitely yes. Hysterical? No way. His hysteria is well-calculated public behavior allowing him to stay on Rus political scene for 25+ years now.Off-topic - Old photo of the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
