"No Other Choice": Putin Took 'The Decision' Nobody in Kremlin Wanted Him to Take - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

Putin has taken the one step nobody in the Kremlin wanted to face—and it’s aimed directly at everyday Russians. After years of leaving WhatsApp untouched while banning Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, Putin has finally moved against the messenger used by over 100 million Russians for school groups, family chats, business, emergencies, and even police communication. By targeting WhatsApp, Putin isn’t just restricting an app, he’s cutting Russia’s last digital lifeline and proving that no convenience, no routine, and no citizen is beyond his reach. This decision isn’t about national security—it’s about control, cementing his role as a modern-day tsar ruling by paranoia and fear. In Putin’s Russia, the war never ends, rights disappear one by one, and now even the most basic form of communication is expendable. This isn’t just elites vs ordinary people anymore—it’s everyone against one man. From oligarchs to teachers, policemen to parents, all are trapped in the same sinking boat, powerless under the whims of a leader who openly declares that only his grip on power matters. Russia is no longer divided by rich and poor—it’s divided between Putin and everyone else. This WhatsApp ban marks a turning point, exposing Putin’s absolute war-driven autocracy and showing that his “decision” was never about apps—it was about dismantling Russia piece by piece until only his shadow remains.
