I really don't understand the purpose of this propaganda or where it comes from.
First part is just bragging about the silly attack into Russia, nothing at all supporting the headline. Nobody seriously claimed that Ukraine is trying to regime change Russia. Kursk was a diversionary attack.
Second part is the author bragging about how he personally suggested this plan all along. He then suggests that the rest of Russia is now open for conquest. (with what army?) He admits that the main goal is to make the war unattractive to Russians and turn them against Putin, in addition to the morale boost for Ukraine. He's also hoping the Kursk invasion will spur more support from the US and NATO. He's asking them to authorise the use of long-range missiles within Russia. I don't see how that doesn't lead to nuclear escalation, but ok. Maybe that's what he wants.
Russia will not negotiate. (except perhaps for POW exchanges) So this is all either optimistic wishful thinking, or coded messaging from a nobody journalist. What's really going on here? Is this article meant to send a message to someone to act? Or is it just more stupid propaganda from a journalist who thinks he's important?
My favorite part was: "Plenty of generals and oligarchs will see that Putin is isolating, disgracing and ruining their country in pursuit of what is little more than a personal obsession brought on by reading too much history during lockdown."
Always with the "oligarchs". Nobody talks about American oligarchs. Imagine Russian media suggesting Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos should start a coup against Washington DC.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working - that is my limited understanding. Russia seems to be deploying conscripts against the invasion, while using its professional military to exploit the deficiencies in the Nulandistani lines that this action created.
So at the very least, they must come up with new reasons for this action.

Reportedly, the youngest POW exchange was at parity rather than the lopsided margins that Russia gave into previously. Not sure what this means.

The funny thing is that Putin cracked down on the oligarchs, who had mostly gotten their ill-gained wealth through positions in the Soviet state. They exchanged their communism for vulture capitalism from one day to the next, when it would benefit them.
Also in related stories: Putin will soon turn his war machine on Britain!
Britain isn't even worth conquering. This ain't the time of William the Conqueror.
This guy is a 'conservative' pro-Brexit fellow.
