Damn. He is going to have to call the Guinness world records for the size of conference table he is going to need now!
I’m not good with understanding relevance at times. Can anyone EILIF? Why does Iranians being tracked lead to putin not going to the Kremlin?
Putin is facing a lot of discontent right now. Losing Starlink was big, and then they took away Telegram from their armed forces. And then they shut down internet in Moscow. They’ve lost ground in Zaporizhzhia recently, which flies in the face of all the lies Russia’s been telling their citizens about this war.
Add that onto the fact that he’s aiding Israel’s enemy, the same Israel who knew where Iranian officials were because they mined months of traffic surveillance footage. He’s also watched two of his allies in Khamenei and Maduro get removed power in the span of a couple months by his biggest rival. Both of whom had near unshakable means of maintaining their power from within.
He’s in the midst of completely switching up all his routines right now, probably not even living where he normally would.
He has been shown an example of how easy it is to pinpoint ones location when there is alot of cameras around. Private companies collect data from every electronic device and make it available to AI, which can answer prompts like ‘where in moscow do super armored cars move around?’ Then they can quickly get a good idea where a person of interest are.
I guess putin just woke up to the surveilance economy he lives in.
This is my interpretation. It could be wrong.
The leadership in Iran are being picked off by the U.S. and Israel because they are being tracked. Formerly, the easiest way to pick up Putin’s trail would have been by monitoring the area near the Kremlin. If the Ukrainians were able to replicate the same thing using drones, Putin could be taken out, and apparently the conflict in Iran has helped that thought sink into his maniacal brain.
The publisher thought that was the most exciting bit of the article even though it’s mainly just saying we can’t confirm putin has been at the kremlin lately.
The camera bit is just heresay from another aspiring politician
Russian opposition politician Dmitry Gudkov wrote that officials may have been alarmed by reports that Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28, had allegedly been tracked through Tehran’s street surveillance cameras.
Pretty sure world leaders are all spooked regardless of any cameras given the assassinations and kidnappings lately
So, he’s pretty far in the land of “FO” already? :)
