If you think Russia’s nuclear weapons are constrained by procedure, you are dangerously wrong.

There is no "Red Button." There is just one man, and a room full of people too afraid to stop him

🧵[Read on — 1/18]
Russia’s nuclear weapons are not guarded by institutions or checks and balances. They are carried, quite literally, by a handful of officers whose sole job is to obey one man. So, what is Service K?

[2/18] Image
These officers are the people who physically carry and operate Russia’s nuclear command-and-control terminals (“Cheget” briefcases) alongside the president, the defense minister, and the chief of the General Staff

The most dangerous moment in dealing with the Kremlin is when Putin opens his mouth.

He guaranteed Prigozhin’s safety weeks before blowing him out of the sky; promised Ukraine peace days before attacking.

🧵 We may have to deal with him, but we must never trust him [1/13]
Here are some of the instances when Putin egregiously went against his own word (for those who didn't pay attention)

[2/13]
On Raising the Pension Age

◇"I am firmly convinced that we should not raise the retirement age... While I am President, this decision will not be made." — April 25, 2005, during a "Direct Line" Q&A session.

◆ Signs the bill raising the pension age by 5 years for both men and women. — October 3, 2018, signs the Federal Law No. 350 and increases the retirement age.

With the release of Epstein files pending, let me remind what @dossier_center uncovered:

Convicted sex-trafficker worked directly with an FSB officer who ran Putin's elite St. Petersburg Economic Forum. We have their emails

🧵(Read on — 1/9)
The timing is crucial here: in 2014-2015, right after Crimea, right after the first sanctions.

Putin's regime desperately needed Western business participation at Russian events to maintain any semblance of legitimacy. Epstein had access to exactly those people.

[2/9]
Sergei Belyakov graduated from FSB Academy in 1998. His career trajectory tells you everything you need to know about how Russian intelligence embeds its officers in economic elites.

By 2012, he's Deputy Minister of Economic Development. By 2014, he's running the St. Petersburg Forum Foundation.

"My friends died at the hands of Russian soldiers. Why can't I talk about it?"

This question will cost Varvara Volkova 7 years in a Russian penal colony

🧵Here's her story [1/7]
Varvara was a flight attendant, not an impassioned political activist.

In a neighborhood chat, she stated the obvious: Russian forces are killing civilians in Ukraine. The prosecution framed it as "fake news" motivated by hatred toward the armed forces, and the court accepted it.

[2/7]Image
The mechanism used to go after her relies on a Soviet-style culture of snitching: a Russian tank driver complained about her comments, then a professional informer, who intentionally hunts dissidents, amplified the case and demanded she be jailed.

A Russian man who yelled at an 11-year-old for wearing a hat with a 'Z' on it just got 4.5 years in a maximum-security prison.

[1/9] 🧵 He was already serving time when he said the wrong thing to 8 inmates Image
In April 2023, Alexander Neustroev lost his temper in Yekaterinburg. He saw a boy wearing a hat with the ‘Z’ — the symbol of the invasion of Ukraine, yelled at the child and insulted his father.

[2/9]
Initially, the court fined him 7,000 rubles. But the state machinery, driven by outraged servants of the regime, insisted on appealing and managed to turn this fine into a 3-year prison term.

"If something happens to me, I want people to know what and how." Aliya Ozdamirova said this on October 20, the day she fled Chechnya for Georgia.

On November 9, her uncle lured her back.

🧵3 days later, she was buried. [1/11] Image
Aliya was 33. Her father, Usman Ozdamirov, was close to Kadyrov—had been elected to the local assembly multiple times, and served as deputy sports minister.

[2/11]
When he died in 2020, her brothers and cousins, who are also connected to Chechen leadership, began beating her over her alleged homosexuality.
