Putting this up two days later like it's just another mundane day of normal news is really strange. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion.

What doesn't make sense is that Drudge put it up like Putin hasn't been completely missing for over a week amid all kinds of speculation about what has happened to him. There were stories about the possibility of Russia moving nukes to Crimea last week. Why report on this pre-recorded documentary today like Putin said this today?

Quoting: Fire Watch I have an idea....... A failed assassination attempt made him disappear for safety concerns. Maybe the way it was attempted suggested the assassins were deep in the government. So he needed to draw back to only his most trusted. Then weed out the infiltrators. I can see something like this considering the global political climate. That and the opposition leader was also successfully assassinated in Moscow. Supposing Russia is wanting to ensure he is alive publicly but will not over concerns of his safety, first.

With Putin's personality and larger than life image to protect, then why wouldn't that be wall to wall state TV news? "All powerful Putin triumphs again!" or some such propaganda?

Supposedly, there's a stage being constructed in front of the Kremlin. Diplomats have been recalled to Moscow, and the Russian press has been told to stand by for an important announcement.

A week, a Friday where they stalled for a weekend, and a major annual celebration to brewing? Something's gotta give tomorrow. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion.

User ID: 67912548 United States 03/15/2015 02:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Um, guys (and gals). What the hell is up with this? AP is reporting that... Quoting: Resister Mar 15, 11:47 AM (ET) "MOSCOW (AP) — Russia was ready to bring its nuclear weapons into a state of alert during last year's tensions over the Crimean Peninsula and the overthrow of Ukraine's president, President Vladimir Putin said in remarks aired on Sunday. Putin also expanded on a previous admission that the well-armed forces in unmarked uniforms who took control of Ukrainian military facilities in Crimea were Russian soldiers. Putin's comments, in a documentary being shown on state TV, highlight the extent to which alarm spread in Russia in the weeks following Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's ouster in February 2014 after months of street protests that turned increasingly violent." [link to apnews.myway.com] Why is AP reporting that "Putin said" anything today like he hasn't been missing for over a week with all manner of questions about it? I get that the state TV could just be airing a pre-made documentary, but why is AP reporting it like it's just another day, like there hasn't been any question about where the guy has been? "Aired" on Sunday? Could have been taped any time, MtBarb |
