Putin Is Not Waiting ’Til the Cows Come Home

I didn’t know that drones could be used on cows. But, yes, they have all sorts of uses.

Putin is not ‘Waiting ’til the cows come home’ and has decided to get in and kill a few of them first.

An example of this was cows killed at Novosibirsk in Siberia that was blamed on a bio-weapons leak. Siberia is looked upon as being a bit more liberal than the rest of Russia, so perhaps it was a good place to start. This ‘cow-hit’ has now spread to neighbouring provinces and elsewhere.

I didn’t know that drones could be used on cows. But, yes, they have all sorts of uses. On the night of 28 April, 2025, 10 Shahed drones were used to kill half the cows in Kharkiv. Are the “Hunger Games” starting? There is no law and order in Russia, just officials from agriculture just arriving on farms without papers and killing livestock.

Konstantin, an expat Russian blogger, said in 2022 that an authoritarian Russian regime was coming and the internet would be shut down. Though he was laughed at then, it was shut down in 2026 in the provinces first where they try these things out. Then it hit the sophisticated cities like Moscow and St Petersburg.

This internet shutdown is not only affecting private communications but also commerce, because of the lack of credit card payments. It will be back to the 19th century and pigeon post. It could work out better, because of thievery in the Russian post. An official on Russian TV was telling residents to replace their mobiles with wired telephones, presumably so they could be tapped, but they failed to add that.

Mobilisation is a big thing with the Russians at the moment. Two per cent of the workforce and students have been given their marching orders – literally to the front. But where is that front precisely. Russian ships are now sailing up the English Channel unimpeded!

The coming coup against Putin now have two legs to run on. The anger of the Russian people over the shutdown of the internet and the slaughter of livestock.

This is standard Russian strategy for ‘How to get rid of the czar’. It’s been used before on Russian leaders. Engineer horrendous events so the czar will fall. Trump will probably get blamed for this, as they need a scapegoat.

One sure way of reading between the lines is that there are no preparations for the  great May Day Parade to celebrate Russian victories. Hmm...
