Shamans 'Special Operation'

Before Putin's Russia invaded the Ukraine in what he coyly insists is a special operation .....

Russian Shamans

 .... an operation that's cost Russia 700,000 killed or wounded so far and counting.

In 2019 a special operation was undertaken in Siberia. Artur Tsybikov, who is a practising Shaman, led his worship Eternally Blue Sky group (Вечно голубое небо - Vechno Goluboye Nebo in Latin script) in a special operation of their own, to Make Russia Great Again (MRGA) as opposed to Trumps - well actually Reagan's - Make America Great Again (MAGA), but without the same ring, even in Russian (сделать Россию снова великой or Sdelat' Rossiyu Snova Velikoy). 

To this end, he and his group killed and burnt five camels in Angarsk, Siberia, in what he described as a "humane" ceremony which he claimed was only carried out once every 300 years, and must be performed as "we must not disobey the gods."

Artur Tsybikov Speaks Out

In January 2023, this same Shaman, who is Russia's deputy head shaman offered an prediction that year, Alaska and California would become part of Russia in 2023. "The United States of America and their people, of course, it's a pity," Tsybikov began. "America may soon be divided into several parts, and several states will declare sovereignty. Most likely, Alaska and California will return to the Russian Federation."

Whether this sudden insertion of "Greatness" had any impact on Putin's decision to then invade the Ukraine, only those gods know, but they apparently don't work in Alaska and California, which are firmly still in the USA. 

Now if he had predicted that the USA would seize Greenland from little Denmark, retake the Panama Canal from little Panama, and subvert Canadian democracy to force it to become just another state in the USA (Trump calls Trudeau 'Governor Trudeau')  ..... well he might have been more on the mark!
