The view of an FSB insider on the Russian war in Ukraine
If this is genuine, it's a devastating indictment by an FSB insider of just how bad things are, and will continue to be, for Russia. Amongst many other things, it mentions a "localized nuclear strike", which I'd previously thought about and assumed might involve a single weapon - horrible beyond belief, but survivable by the majority of the population. From what he says about the 'big red button', a single nuclear weapon might be the worse-case scenario but probably won't happen at all.
I'm not in a position to verify anything in this thread, and since I don't have a Facebook account, I can neither view nor verify the version on Facebook, linked to from the last post in the thread. For all I know, it could be total misinformation.
I haven't had time to go down my D* feed for today, so it's possible that someone else has posted about this. If anyone else knows anything, please add a comment.
