European nations refusing to issue tourist visas to Russia is the kind of step that can/will have real consequences for Putin.

Combined with the fact that battle lines of control have stayed somewhat stable for a while now.

Grain shipments being permitted.

Seems like things are happening behind the scenes.

And here we are.

Kremlin official 'secretly approaches West to end war in Ukraine'

The source is said to have claimed that much of Moscow's elite are highly concerned about the trajectory of Russian president Vladimir Putin's invasion into the neighbouring country

Putin's successor has already been selected. The deal that was probably made is that the war will continue until Putin is gone.

Once Putin is gone, some of the land Russia managed to hold will be given to the Russians thru a negotiated settlement.

The danger is the Russian military is being degraded day by day (not to mention the economy). The Russian power behind Putin have already signaled that they're not going to escalate to nukes or more forceful response directly against US/NATO - this is why Biden continues to cross red lines in terms of the kind of military support they're giving Ukraine.

It's a dirty game. The person who is going to take over after Putin basically said he's ok with Russians getting wrecked until he comes to power.

Pretty obvious the US has people very close to Putin.

Incredible to think but it looks like at least some the siloviki have decided Putin has to go. It's just a matter of easing him out in a way that will allow him (and the country) to save face. Big time internal struggle as I'm sure some will ride with Putin to the end.

Blue will be some continued military presence.

Red will be places where Russia will "recognize" new republics.

10+ years ago I was working on a project and posted a picture with some homes in the background. Minutes later someone else in the project posted a Google Earth screenshot with the exact fukking house I was in front of marked. He didn't have any information other than that I was in L.A., everything else he got was guessing which part of town from the look of the neighborhood and then matching the shape and color of the roofs in the picture to the right spot on Google Earth. And he did that shyt just for fun. Nowadays if I post a pictures of a sensitive location for any reason, I'll even crop out and blur the fukking horizon if I think the buildings or mountains behind the shot would allow someone to triangulate the location.

There are games people play online where someone posts a picture of a random spot in the world, no famous landmarks, and you try to find the exact location on Earth solely from contexual clues and Google Earth.


If people are accomplishing that sort of shyt just for fun, imagine what a team of people helping out the military could do if they already know which country you're in, already know what part of the country you're in, and have multiple pictures to work with. And who knows wtf A.I. can add to the search. If I were these guys I wouldn't post a single fukking picture from the front unless it was within an entirely closed space or our forces had already left the region.
