As some guy on the internet I demand that Prigozhin be replaced by someone acceptable to the Kremlin111!!1 U dont even need shells in order to successfully regroup anyway and this is a war of regrouping until the entire AFU has died of old age.

I can't see why not a-b-c options all at once. Consistency isn't their middle name; it's for losers as far as 5D-ers are concerned.

They probably aren't even aware of it. They're too busy watching drones explode above the Kremlin on endless loop while regurgitating the same unoriginal, tailored-for-YouTube anti-West invective/pseudo-analysis they've been spewing for over a year now.

Still say the goal of the "West" and the "East" (Russia et al) is to kill as many white guys as possible...is that 5D enough?

Any speech has a primary audience and then many secondary purposes as well. It is hard to figure out to whom his fiery rhetoric is intended to hurt, expose, condemn, persuade, etc. That is why nit should be analysed from different perspectives not just from a "patriotic" stance. His charges no doubt contain elements of truth. The question is why now, and what is the purpose? Release of ammunition? False flag to the Ukrainians? Carve out a higher profile for Wagner group and for himself? Rally the Russian masses? Betray the onslaught at a critical juncture? Who knows.

So evacuation is now officially announced for the settlements along the Zaporozhye front.

Including Energodar.

We know what this means...

It was clear beyond any doubt that something was really really rotten around mid-March 2022.

BTW, I didn't actually think they were going to invade because it just didn't look like they were seriously preparing for it. Ukraine took several million soldiers to take back in WWII, and it was nowhere near as fortified then that it is now.

When they invaded, the very act of doing so convinced us initially that they are prepared. After all, nobody would invade without the sufficient forces. Right? Right?

But then you watched things like trying to take Nikolaev with 30 tanks while another 10 tanks made a mad dash another 70 miles to the northwest towards the Yuzhnoukrainsk NPP, and the truth started to emerge.

And it still continues that way to this day. Russia does have the resources to finish this off, but they are not being allocated.

Now we had the Kremlin directly attacked, and no response to that either.

I don't know what to think at this point...

Rolo, why are you wasting your time with 5D-ers? They will never admit anything or change their minds. As you know, they are either paid bots or cultists like sovoks. It's like being upset with CNN, and expecting them to start telling the truth all of a sudden.

But there's one useful thing you can do about them in the next article: list all main 5D-ers (names, location/residence, blogs, twitter, links, etc.), provide some background/history info, including when did they became 5D, what are their main talking points, what do they ignore, how do they "explain" things that they do not ignore, etc.

I’ve observed option B in the wild

Why are russians preparing to retreat from their invincible maginot line?

Option C. 5D commenters often reply reply Prigozhin is a whiner, liar, etc without evidence of course.

Then there is this oddity (not entirely unrelated):

"Russian sources reported that Russian officials have canceled May 9 parades in 21 cities in Russia and occupied Crimea " (courtesy of the DC neocons as per "occupied:")

Anyone want to run a 5D vs Team Reality cycle on that? (Neocons say it's cuz "officials" are concerned of the risks of such parades triggering protests about SMO casualties)

I will say that Prigozhin is a filthy Jew who has been Putin's close aide for 20 years. Why won't he tell Putin to fire Shoigu? Answer - because Putin, Shoigu and Prigozhin are all working round the clock to dismember Russia. This is a theatre for the idiots.
