Despite stronger winds than usual, the Mediterranean Sea is unable to cool down. Something is clearly going on.

Can I contact you? I'd like to discuss a hypothesis?
Why are you drawing such conclusions? I don't see any signs of this. Last April, when oil prices dropped, it looked like they were panicking, but nothing happened.

He not only named a non-existent city, but also had problems with geography. It's clear he's trying to remember something.
I'm skeptical of these conspiracy theories. However, it's clear that Putin has been declining cognitively over the past two years. There were especially many examples in 2025. The non-existent city of Komsomolsk, for example.
I'm not sure he's the same person he used to be. He's showing increasing cognitive problems.
Alcohol-related mortality in the early 1990s and 2000s was linked to Gorbachev's restrictions, as they saved highly susceptible individuals. After these individuals died, mortality dropped and alcohol consumption never returned to those levels.
I don't think alcohol consumption in Russia will return to levels of 1990s. There was an excess of alcohol-related mortality after the end of Gorbachev's prohibition. Those who were susceptible died. Since then, alcohol consumption in Russia has been declining.

Something strange is happening in the Mediterranean. There are almost no low clouds there. There should be a lot of them now, in winter. I'm not sure if it's weather-related. I don't believe sulfates can have such a strong effect.
Can ocean or sea temperature influence circulation? Increased total water vapor is thought to be the cause of warming and expansion of the Sahara.
The cold weather just can't seem to break through to southern Europe. Could this be due to the warm Mediterranean Sea?
But these aren't critical. Hyperinflation starts at 50% per year.
Serbia, Bulgaria?
Are you sure? Model ensembles are showing a drop in temperature. On the other hand, seasonal models are showing warm temperatures until the end of March. A repeat of 2024?

The video is 4 minutes long, not 2. But it's still a significant amount. Look at how he looks down. It's like he's having a hard time remembering the words.
Putin's upgrade. In a new two-minute video interview with the Palestinian president, 2 delayed speech sounds, like "ээ" and 3 short ones, like "э" are noticeable. This isn't a coincidence, but part of a larger pattern.
Russian state, represented by bureaucrats, is now rapidly attempting to establish total control over the population. A mountain of registers, as if this will help reduce inefficiency.
Yes, first a lot of rural population, then from the 1970s oil
We'll see how this plays out as the population declines and ages. The model becomes unsustainable.
But I still couldn't distinguish carbon tetrachloride from dichloromethane. Also, if we have a mixture of substances, the task becomes very difficult.
As a chemist, I can tell you that you can definitely distinguish the smell of propanoic acid from butanoic acid, and you can also distinguish styrene from toluene. With proper training, you can distinguish the smell of xylene from toluene, but it's more difficult.
That's not enough. About a million fled back then, and only half returned. I'm monitoring the comments. Many are aware of it all but avoid even thinking about it. It's unpleasant. They need some kind of push.
Of course. But people's psychological reactions are very nonlinear. For example, internet blockages apparently make people uncomfortable. There's a lot of anxiety. But so far, there's been no change in behavior. On the other hand, during the mobilization, Moscow residents fled their jobs.
I think it's a human psychological trait. Avoidance. Sociology agrees that young people in Russia are currently doing well financially. But older people, who were considered Putin's electorate, are already abandoned and disillusioned.
I'm more interested in the psychology of Russians right now. I see they're very frustrated. It's widespread. This didn't happen in 2023. But I don't see any adaptation yet. No assessment, no change in life strategies. Everyone's hoping things will be like before. I'm waiting for this to break down.
Perhaps 50 percent of Russians are as poor as in Africa. The remaining 40 percent are considered middle class. But in the coming years, they could move into the first category, leaving them at, say, 20 percent.
Most Russians are poor and have no savings, it's worth remembering. There are entire multi-unit buildings that owe tens of millions of rubles in utility bills. Some even have their electricity shut off, and they manually reconnect it.

See another example. 2023 September. Hard work is not... a rubber butt. He wanted to say something else, but he said this. It's called aphasia. Pauses in speech were already visible back then. Now it's apparently gotten worse.
The point is that the psychiatric diagnosis of depression is different from a bad mood. A bad mood is unlikely to cause cognitive problems.
The most these Russians have is an adjustment disorder. The primary approach is psychotherapy. Antidepressants won't help them. They also won't help with a lack of money. These aren't mental disorders for which SSRIs are indicated.
