NOVA Green:
Another take on the "Drunk Putin" video...
Looks like Putin doesn't know the difference between Crimea and Donetsk?

dead0man:
Putin likes to remind us why Trump is such a big fan. They both just say whatever nonsense pops into their heads, irregardless of the truth that is obvious to everyone.
I don't know how the interviewer kept a straight face when Putin said "well, they started it".
CumbrianLefty:
Putin intoxicated in public isn't a normal thing, though?
Which could tell us something, even if its unclear exactly what at this stage.

Don't believe anybody has yet posted the "Drunk Putin" video.

What looks like a second lapse of judgement:

Getting a bit concerning, IMO. I haven't really bought into the "he's crazy/demented/suicidal" arguments so far, but it could be a little more serious than irredentism and online brain poisoning.
Storr:
Remember that official Soviet total number soldiers killed in 9 years of the Soviet War in Afghanistan was 14,453:

From the article (google translated): "We rely only on confirmed death reports, so the data collected does not reflect the actual level of casualties. We assume that our list may contain at least 40-60% fewer names of the dead than actually buried in Russia. We came to this conclusion after studying the monuments to the military, memorial plaques and the situation in cemeteries in more than 60 settlements in Russia.
Therefore, according to the most conservative estimate, the losses of the Russian army and the National Guard in Ukraine could be more than 20,000 people."
