Life comes at you fast: pundits on Russian TV realize that their military is failing and their country is in trouble. They are starting to play the blame game. Some of them finally understand that their genocidal denial of the Ukrainian identity isn't working in Russia's favor.

Marina recorded this video before interrupting Channel One's live broadcast. I translated it for you (thread):

Trump claims that Putin and Kim Jong-un are more mentally fit than Biden. Still fanboying for dictators.
REVEALED: Rudy Giuliani’s indicted Ukraine henchman Lev Parnas gave thousands to to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
This is fantastic. A brave woman interrupted Russian state TV’s live broadcast with a sign that says: “Stop the war. Don’t believe propaganda. They’re lying to you here." It was signed: "Russians against war.”

“Robert Chapman” of Carmel, New York was texting with his potential date on Bumble as he stormed the Capitol.
He said: “I did storm the Capitol and made it all the way to Statuary Hall”.
She said: "We are not a match" and turned him in.
Meanwhile on Russian state TV: annoyed by Trump reportedly promising to destroy the Russian Federation and Putin's hegemony, state TV host Olga Skabeeva said that Russia "will have to think whether to re-install him again as the American president. We haven't decided yet."

Meanwhile on Russia's state-funded RT, director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky suggests drowning or burning Ukrainian children, makes hideous comments about the rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

Trump reportedly called Bolton at home to complain about a CNN story that said the Navy was pushing back against Russian aggression in the Black Sea. When CNN portrayed the move as a response to Russia, the White House told the Navy to cancel the maneuver.
Meanwhile on Russian state TV: Another translated clip of Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard, introduced by state TV host Vladimir Soloviev as "Our girlfriend Tulsi."
After the clip plays, one panelist asks: "Is she some sort of a Russian agent?" The host quickly replies: "Yes."

Host Evgeny Popov says it's time for the Russian people to call on Americans to change "the regime in the U.S." before its term expires "and to again help our partner Trump to become President."

Kremlin TV Hopes Russia’s Unhinged Bioweapons Claim Will Help Re-Elect Trump:

Kyiv sank 'Moscow' and the Russians are furious. In response to the sinking of the warship 'Moskva,' state TV pundits and hosts propose bombing Kyiv, destroying Ukraine's railways and making it impossible for any world leaders to visit in the future.

John Kelly and intelligence officials attempted to get Trump to use secure White House line, but when he realized that this enabled them to compile daily logs of his calls & the identities of those he was speaking to, Trump reverted to using his cellphone.

"It is very bizarre, you can't bash your own country like that - especially when you're the President."
Female host: "When Trump says our relations are bad because of American foolishness and stupidity, he really smells like an agent of the Kremlin." ©️
Chuck Todd: “You dont trust the FBI or CIA?”
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI): “No, I don’t! I didn’t then & I never have.”
I'm sure it has nothing to do with Johnson spending the 4th of July in Russia and declaring that Russian elex interference was no biggie.

Pence: "You don't need a mask."
Trump: "It's a little like the regular flu."
Putin:
Look at protecting Russian propagandists. They've deleted 60 of my videos this morning. For those who preferred to watch and share my videos from there, sorry about that. Try to watch as soon as I post, because YouTube is likely to delete, to protect the Kremlin's image.
Trump promised to run America like he does one of his businesses, and on that rare occasion he didn't lie. Look at us now: losing people, losing money, losing face.
During Russia's New Year special on state TV, they openly addressed the West to say, "Like it or not, Russia is enlarging!" The rest of the clip should give you a general idea as to the mood in the studio.

Meanwhile in Russia: a rare moment of sanity on Russian state TV, when one panelist was finally fed up with Vladimir Solovyov's threats to wipe Kyiv or Kharkiv off the face of the earth.
3:57
Russia's Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova said that what happened to the Crimean bridge is a human rights violation, because it affects the right to freedom of movement. Wait until she finds out about what Russia has been doing in Ukraine!
Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's mouthpieces on state TV are taunting America about "Top Secret" documents sought during the raid of Trump's estate, which they claim had to do with the newest nuclear weapons developed by the US and gleefully imply that Moscow already got to see them.

Trump's letters to Putin. Beautiful letters! Most perfect letters! Or, as Trump would put it, "He begged like a dog."
Russia is upset that Ukraine is being armed, which RT claims is "counter-productive to ending the conflict." You know what would be productive to ending the conflict? For Russia to end its invasion and get out, instead of expecting Ukraine to simply surrender to the aggressor.
Meanwhile in Russia: several panelists threw some truth grenades at the stunned TV hosts, look how those angry propagandists pummeled the pundit who said that by destroying the infrastructure, Russia is waging a cruel, sadistic war against civilians. He won't be invited back.

Fearing Poisoning, Putin Reportedly Replaced 1,000 of His Personal Staff.
Meanwhile in Russia: anger and disappointment fill the studio, as the viewers are being prepared for the loss of Kherson and other territories. Host Olga Skabeeva bitterly questions why Russia was so wrong in the beginning, believing that Zelensky would run & NATO wouldn't help.

ABC transcribed Biden's stuttering, I have no words. What's the point of that?
Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on Trump’s behalf to challenge election results in key states.
Greene is the new Orange. Stop inadvertently promoting her. Don't feed the trolls.
Prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller privately said that had it not been for the unique nature of the case—the investigation of a sitting president of the United States—they would have advocated that he face federal criminal charges.
Pavel Gubarev, Russia's "DPR" figure in Donetsk, states their intent towards Ukrainians: "We aren't coming to kill you, but to convince you. But if you don't want to be convinced, we'll kill you. We'll kill as many as we have to: 1 million, 5 million, or exterminate all of you."
1:22
Russian media is suddenly explicit about what Russia is really doing in Ukraine. Citing Vasily Zenkovsky's writings from 1931, propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov laid it out: "Russia will never cede Ukraine to anyone... it has to be part of Russia, even against Ukraine's own will."
Please stop referring to Ukraine as a "former Soviet republic," especially now. Do you introduce someone who's been divorced for over 30 years as so-and-so's ex? I certainly hope not.
Marina Ovsyannikova is in court with her lawyer Anton Gashinsky. She is facing administrative charges to begin with.
Senior military expert on Russian state TV argued that mobilization wouldn't accomplish a whole lot, since outdated weaponry can't easily compete with NATO-supplied weapons and equipment in Ukraine's hands and replenishing Russia's military arsenal will be neither fast nor easy.

Meanwhile in Russia: top propagandists and their friends in high places are getting worried about the possibility of losing the war to Ukraine and being tried at the Hague.

Putin had no qualms about sending bombs and missiles to kill Ukrainians during their Christmas and New Year's celebrations, but now he wants to unilaterally declare some kind of a pretend ceasefire to honor the Orthodox holidays. Cynical, revolting, theatrical hypocrisy.
Sanctioned Russian TV Host Cries About Losing Italian Properties
The impact of Putin’s war against Ukraine is starting to set in, startling even his most ardent state TV propagandists. It’s all fun and games 'till they seize your Italian villa.
Stunned reactions keep coming in with respect to Ukraine reclaiming Lyman. Andrey Gurulyov, former deputy commander of Russia's southern military district, said he couldn't explain the defeat. He blamed in on a system of lies, "top to bottom" and was suddenly disconnected.

Posters, created by activists in Russia for May 9, say: "Grandchildren, we are ashamed of you. We fought for peace, but you chose war."

Reality sneaks up onto unsuspecting Russian state TV hosts. One pundit reveals they aren't supposed to mention Lyman (although the host denies it). He says that everyone knows things aren't going well for the Russian troops. Another pundit says Kyiv might start bombing Moscow.

State propagandists called for Putin to end the “special military operation” before “frightening” sanctions destabilize his regime and risk civil war in Russia.
Russia's state TV is obsessively bashing Trump's "low energy," "weak" parade with "rusty tanks." The hosts LOL at Trump's claim about "revolutionary war airports" & other historical flubs. "There's your city upon a hill, there's your world leader—and Martians have been defeated."

Tonight on Russian state TV: the mood is grim, look at their faces. Dmitry Sablin, Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee, admits that Russia desperately needs "to stop and regroup" and is experiencing all sorts of shortages, compared to Ukraine that has it all —and then some.

Aides Admit Trump Was Faking Those “Phone Calls” With China
I can't believe some in our media are still feverishly perturbed about the impact of Biden's factual remarks regarding Putin, while Putin is massacring people in a country he invaded and is brutally trying to destroy. Get a grip and focus on what matters. Please. Enough nonsense.
Tuckyo Rose is in full bloom on #Russia's state TV. Multiple clips of Tucker Carlson's rants are being used to corroborate the pro-Kremlin talking points, simultaneously attacking America, Biden, NATO and Ukraine.
Meanwhile in Russia: TV hosts clearly regretted the moment they asked an expert for his opinion regarding the Kremlin's allegations of a so-called "dirty bomb" Ukraine is supposedly planning to detonate.
2:05
Top Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov is so mad about Russia's retreat from Kherson that he forgot the name of his own show and admitted to missing life the way it used to be. Watch his furious tirade, full of sighs, insults and outlandish lies:

Of all the messages going out to the Russians, Ukrainians are sending the most powerful one by resisting as hard as they are. They demonstrate that they would rather die than to live like the Russians do. Death is better than living under Putin. Freedom is worth their sacrifice.

The host: "Poor things, they're so upset! Still—without us, they can’t elect a President."
Meanwhile in Russia: since Putin's phony "denazification" never made any sense, now Russia's Security Council is absurdly calling for the "desatanization" of Ukraine. How embarrassing.
Pelosi explained to Trump that Russia has always wanted a “foothold in the Middle East,” and now it has one with the U.S. withdrawal.
“All roads with you lead to Putin,” the speaker said.
That's when Trump unraveled and went into a full-blown meltdown.
