For Sumac - Putin is dead?

No idea what spawned this.

[CyberCubed]

No, it would be world news if this was true.

[ChosenOne]

Wishful thinking but it sure would be great if this is why his speech was postponed and someone else walks out in front of the press in a few hours to announce that Russia is standing down effective immediately.

[neatoman]

Uh... Ok, I guess we use can this thread to discuss the conspiracy theories that Putin has some illness that will lead to his death soon or at least force him out of power, which may be the reason he's going out of his way to keep the war going? Though, I think it's best to keep in mind that those are conspiracy theories with little to back them up... And this thread may be deleted if it gets out of control...

Like I said, I had no idea what prompted it..and no one else mentioned it. maybe someone inside the circle leaked it. wouldn't put it past the russian government to have people think he was still alive when he wasn't.

[IMJ]

It could've began as a meme that indicates the consequences of Putin's actions in a war that he can't win; but then took on life, as all things do through the internet brain-trust who only perceived it as deeply as a literal joke about a guy in a casket.

[Mayhem]

There were rumours of a failed assassination plot over the weekend...

[IndigoErth]

Well he's been busy issuing threats because he's not winning, so either he's still kicking just fine or that was a short window afterward in which someone took him out. Didn't have the appearance of an ill man in video either. (Well, aside from the mental type that leads you to attack neighbors for totally mental reasons.)

[The Deadman]

This would be world news and not some hashtag on Twitter if it were true.

[oldmanwinters]

Putin is apparently considering going nuclear, according to today's reports.

[ChosenOne]

Welp, guess I'll never get to check Saint Petersburg off my bucket list before it's turned into a plain of glass...

[CyberCubed]

Maybe Sumac is being drafted, apparently now Russia is drafting all men between 18-65 to fight.

[Andrew NDB]

Or he had his VPN off and they found his Technodrome posts and put him in the gulag. This is more likely.

[IndigoErth]

Maybe Sumac is being drafted, apparently now Russia is drafting all men between 18-65 to fight.

If that's the case then I hope some of those who want no part of it and are against this war are able to safely disappear if sent to Ukraine and able to seek asylum somewhere... :ohwell:

We've more often not gotten along, but I wish for Sumac that he is and remains safe.

[CyberCubed]

I really wonder if there's any way young people can revolt. Being forced to fight and die in a meaningless war in 2022 is absurd. Granted the fear of imprisonment or death is always there.

[Andrew NDB]

I really wonder if there's any way young people can revolt.

Many ways. But none that don't end with them getting clubbed unconscious and ending up in a gulag or worse.

[Leo656]

He was logged on yesterday, guys, he probably just either doesn't feel like posting or got busy or something. C'mon.

[neatoman]

People are of course fleeing Russia in fear of the draft, so hopefully anyone eligible manage to get out.

[Vegita-San]

find it interesting that people are for folks avoiding the draft here, but folks in our own country forced to fight in foreign wars, when some are clearly not ready for something like that, tend to get looked down on.

and I agree, hope sumac is alright.

I suppose it comes down to the cause a war is fighting for, if a nation or group of allied nations believe in the reason.

What Russia is doing... I guess the equivalent would be a U.S. president someday making the military attack Canada because he/she thinks we should claim it as our territory and then threaten with nukes. Or France likewise attacking Belgium; Australia attacking New Zealand. If that was the case, then yeah, I could see the people having a huge problem with that.

[Leo656]

Again, unless I was really high (possible) I swear I saw Sumac logged on just yesterday and he often takes long breaks from posting. He also often logs on without posting, anyway. Doesn't mean he's in a crisis situation. Geez.

Oh, that was actually the Russian government unlocking his PC and visiting where he had been visiting.

[Leo656]

You apparently talk to him more than I do. :lol:

Am I not allowed to try and stay on the sunny side? :trazz: You guys really think Sumac can't fend off a couple'a bears riding unicycles? I'unno.

I mean if we never hear from him again, I guess we'll know. Or if "he" starts posting again and is super nice to everyone and his syntax isn't askew, that'll also be a sign.

When I disappear don't you guys usually wait more than three days to assume I'm dead?

[ChosenOne]

Is Russia. Syntax always askew.

[IndigoErth]

Depends on what was up prior?

And following our IP info to locate and put us all on a hit list for influencing him.

[Leo656]

:lol: I always at least try and let the important people know.

[RustyOldHasbin]

Sumac is not yet in custody, but his activity on websites such as dtf.ru, youtube and this place is being closely monitored.

[Leo656]

Who the f*ck is THIS guy now?! :lol::lol::lol: And why was Sumac visiting his User page?

[The Deadman]

By who? If it's mother Russia, you suck.

[Leo656]

Also, Sumac has a YouTube? That must be who gives every video I post one (1) Thumbs Down. :lol:

Seriously, someone's been doing that for 10 years and I have no idea who it is or why they bother. :lol: But now I wanna believe it's him trying to get my goat.

[IndigoErth]

Told you guys, we're all going down.

[Leo656]

Yeah but on who, though?

Already had the govt telling us what to do once before, Ill pass this goround.

Putin reinstated the draft and there are literally entire caravans and highways of people leaving Russia because they don't want any part of it. I'd imagine Sumac is draftable so it's entirely possible he is trying to leave the damn country.

Damn, I hope that doesn't happen to DarkAlukard/Arseniy.

[Leo656]

I mean I could just say a bunch of nasty stuff about trans people, if you want, and it would be exactly like he was still here.:lol:

Really sad to this happening. The country at war is one thing, but forcing every single male aged 18-65 to fight against their will is sickening. Especially since:

1. You don't believe what you're doing. Russia is the aggressors here so going to kill Ukraine people and take over their cities makes no sense

2. You have a very high probability of dying and your life being cut short for no reason.

3. If you refuse, you'll either be jailed or beaten up until you're forced to join, or you mysteriously, "disappear."


This is literally Nazi Germany nonsense in the year 2022. If this goes on I can see other countries finally getting involved until Putin is put down

[Leo656]

Can't we just send Rocky over there again? Or Rambo, even? Modern-Day Stallone is even more gassed-up and jacked than Ivan Drago was. Pretty sure he could handle it.

The last Gulag penal labour camp was closed down in 1960. Instead, this is why people in Vladimir Putin's Russia fear prison:

Russian prison rape: you'll be lucky if it's a dick.

[IndigoErth]

Terrible as it is...but in this case at least much of the inmates would at least be united in a shared cause, I guess. :(

If too many would-be draftees just end up in prison, now what? They're behind bars. Going to take them out and force them to go fight in Ukraine? Okay, so they play along and go over there and could, theoretically, immediately lay down their arms and again refuse to participate? Far easier said than done, but damn Putin would probably implode.

How would surrendering help them against HIMARS or a drone strike?

[IndigoErth]

There's a reason I said "easier said than done," because modern warfare is too complex to be just that simple.

There was a stage in the war where that would've worked, and it did for many Russians, but that ship has sailed. It's mostly long-range fighting now until they're forced to withdraw ahead of Ukrainian forces, not to mention all the nutsos under orders to shoot anyone who tries to surrender or desert.

My Foot Ninjas are the only that can save the world now. Rambo is nothign comapred to me and mine ninjas. He is just a coward and fat soldier. i might them some of them there to help maybe.

[IndigoErth]

Okay Rambo or TMNT "if only" kind of mild jokes are one thing, but RP seems going a bit far with a subject like this...

Is it really to 65? Like, once you're 35 here in the states you can't even beg your way into the armed forces. But they're drafting 65 year olds in Russia?

[neatoman]

I don't think it's 65 but it was certainly some unusually high age, yes. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't be the case but the existing troops have proven to be under-trained, under-equipped and understaffed, which is why the war was in a standstill for so long and is now turning in Ukraine's favor. The strategy basically seems to be that if Putin can draft virtually anyone, he can keep throwing troops into Ukraine until he wins, which doesn't make much sense given that hastily drafted men past their prime probably make far worse soldiers than the younger poorly trained he started with, nor does it magically make the equipment better.

[ChosenOne]

It's 18 to 45, if I'm not mistaken.

[Sumac]

It's 18 to 45, if I'm not mistaken.
Normally it would be 18 to 35.

[IMJ]

Normally it would be 18 to 35.

Glad to see you are still alive, dude.

Grammar and syntax way too clean, obviously a military-installed duplicate.

I'm onto you, "comrade".
