Maprid Ilner – Expert: Gazprom is building a private army | Politics

Putin’s brutal campaign of destruction is breaking down the last barriers of civilization: now even water is becoming a weapon! Defenseless civilians are said to be drowning and rescuers are being fired upon by cannonballs. Maybrid Ilner also bewildered: “By all means – a new dimension in the war in Ukraine?”

Omit Nuripur (47, Green). The party leader tweeted with concern: “Another escalation, which should not be without consequences for Russia as a war crime.”

Christian Molling (50) Military expert undercuts Western patience: “Ukraine will not allow itself to be told when to launch an offensive.”

Liana Fix (46) Russia and Eastern Europe expert judges: “At this point, all the evidence points to Russia, because the destruction of the dam is “a Russian war match.”

Sabina Adler (60) The journalist (“Deutschlandfunk”) reports: “At the moment there is great discontent among the Russian elite, and they certainly see: their fortunes have been melting away rapidly for the past year and a half!”

Klaus Kleber (67) A former ZDF moderator (“Heat Journal”) believes: “It’s shown that being nuclear is worth it because you can make conventional wars as brutal as you want.”

Politicians, experts, media. Zoff-O-Meter expects clear feedback!

A more realistic picture of the situation

“The Ukrainian counteroffensive has just begun,” reports expert Fix from Washington. “It was very successful, contrary to what the Russian government spokesman claimed.”

“It was a dam under the control of the Russian side,” Green Party leader Nuripour agrees with the president: “This is a new dimension in the war. Everything points to the Kremlin being responsible for this.

Very bad record

DLF journalist Adler laments the dire consequences for Ukraine: farmlands have been washed away. All crops will be lost until the dam and canal system for the larger area is rebuilt.

And, the journalist continues: “This is another attack on the energy infrastructure. Zaporozhya NPP cannot be cooled. Next to the nuclear power plant there is a coal power plant, which was also very important, and a hydropower plant occupied by the Russians. This is a big loss!”

Plausibelste are these

“We can be sure that this is not material exhaustion, but an explosion,” Moling further clarifies, “because it clearly has seismic data.”

Because, according to Moling: “You can’t just march into a dam like Jamespond and throw grenades. It takes hours and days to prepare. It’s very planned.”

But, he doubts: “They probably don’t want to explode at this point, but much later. What’s come out now is not very controlled. There’s a lot to suggest it shouldn’t happen at the dimensions we’re seeing now.”

Bad horror scene

“A new type of weapon could have been drawn and exploded in the face of the perpetrator,” Kleber suspects.

Moling fears “the danger of an epidemic from the wolves”, and “the graves have been washed away” and “you cannot imagine what a horror it is for the Ukrainians”.

Most psychological diagnoses

“The nuclear power plant was a threat from the beginning,” says Adler. “The invasion happened via Chernobyl, it was not a coincidence. It was Putin’s calculation to play on the West’s fears of a nuclear catastrophe.

According to him, “Putin wants to see success” behind it. The destruction of the dam may also be symbolic of this incredibly divided military structure. Someone just wanted to get hits, didn’t think of anything else, looked down the tunnel.”

A very dangerous threat

Nouripour recalled IS cutting a dam on the Euphrates in 2016: “A brutal symbol!” He warns. “This borrowing from ISIS barbarism is not new. We have a case where a Ukrainian prisoner of war was beheaded on camera.”

His analysis: “It’s about pushing the fear buttons for us. It’s definitely pessimism” because “they haven’t made any progress”. You know “a country with so many nuclear weapons can use the worst weapon”.

Very reassuring reviews

“In reality, Putin played his cards early,” says expert Fix. “The more times he blusters, the more times his threats turn out to be nonsense, the position of the Biden administration has changed, until now we’re even seeing F16 fighter jets in play for Ukraine.”

“Sanctions are needed,” Nouripour assures, “especially after such a disaster. But it’s also true that we’re looking very closely now: where are they penetrating?” And: “Let’s not forget the numerous war crimes.”

Military expert Mölling is also convinced: “Putin can no longer increase militarily.”

Very encouraging signs

“This is what we’re hearing from some of the top oligarchs in the West: There are blatant, serious allegations against Putin personally,” Adler reports, “because accounts are blocked because children are not allowed to study abroad. In other words, where it hurts the oligarchs.

More importantly, the DLF journalist continued: “A fight is already expected: who will get this wealth in Putin’s absence? Putin has personally amassed all this wealth. There will be a really tough fight for these assets.

A dark prophecy

Adler warns, “We’re seeing more and more private forces emerging, and not just in Prigozhin. Prigozhin is openly challenging Putin, calling him a grandfather, a fool and worse things. It’s a sign that a power struggle is really taking place.”

The journalist quotes Andrey Biontek, a Russian political scientist in Washington, who “says very clearly: We are dealing with a civil war here.” Many private armies are forming!”

Very explosive growth

“The latest example is Gazprom,” says the journalist. “Gazprom is creating a private army. They say officially: their infrastructure may have been attacked. Maybe. But they also want to get something for themselves.

Adler’s analysis: “In any case, this is a very big risk, because, according to the forecast, there will be new supply wars. Because some of the fortunes of the ruling elite now may become disenfranchised. Then there are a lot of interested parties, who will also fight for it.

Bad information

A DLF journalist knows about the irregulars now advancing from Ukraine to Russia: “These are not Ukrainians, they are neo-Nazi Russians. Russia has a large neo-Nazi scene.

And, Adler continues: “Forces, including Russian society, are finally emerging that oppose Putin. It’s simmering under the lid!”

A very careful evaluation

Moling’s verdict on the expected large-scale Ukrainian offensive: “We have seen a sharp increase in military activity for several days, but these are certainly not major combat forces. This is an attempt to find direct contact with the adversary: ​​what is going on here?”

His prediction: “There is a lot of activity in two places east of Zaporizhia. That is the shortest route from the front to the Sea of ​​Azov.” But: “Ukraine will have many projects. And now there will be casualties. Now let’s look at the breakable western war stuff.

A very optimistic prospect

“We shouldn’t pretend it’s going to be over in six months,” cautions Nuripour. “But it is increasingly clear that the Russian side does not have eternal staying power.”

“We do all this because it’s about our safety,” Moling recalled. That is why Ukraine’s accession to NATO is “no charity”.

Regarding the prevailing view that NATO does not allow a country to be in a state of war, the expert concludes that this is nowhere mentioned in the agreements. According to him, the following applies: “If all 31 members raise their hands, Ukraine remains in NATO, regardless of what policies were decided in the past.” Amen!

Conclusion

Information instead of ideology, plain text instead of nonsense, analysis instead of propaganda, Putin trolls had to stay out: it was an anti-panic speech in the “Cooling Pool” segment.
