War in Ukraine

Nope. But Prigozhin has shot down Duggar’s and Putin’s bogus excuses for the Ukrainian invasion.

 

uftaipan is right. I shouldn’t do this. But I can’t help myself

 

I'd be mad if we were NOT funding an insurgency in Russia! Give the man whatever he wants!

 

This is CLEVER, plus it's a Clash reference

 

You want Prigozhin as the next leader of Russia? You sure about that?

 

Kinda like rooting for Biden to get taken out...so you can have Kameltoe Harris as POTUS.

 

London Calling

 

It's going to take him a while to spin this . . .

 

As great as this is from a schadenfreude perspective, the last thing we want or need is a power vacuum in Russia.
of course it might also turn out to be nothing, or it could be handled, but at the cost of having to divert resources away from Ukraine to handle it,

 

All I want is for Russia to be forced to pull back from Ukraine. If they have a war in their own borders they won’t have a choice.

 

May be that tok. Just as !ong as it's not When Ivan meets GI Joe. More like Junco Partner

 

If he's in our pocket, why not? Whoever succeeds Putin is unlikely to be a dove, better the devil you know!

 

I wonder if Putin is either behind it, or indifferent to it?

claiming that Russia’s war in Ukraine was all the result of a giant plot by defense bureaucrats to mislead Russian President Vladimir Putin into a pointless conflict

Putin has yet to condemn this guy, and this guy is not blaming Putin, but saying Russian military brass mislead him. Perhaps this is a backdoor way out of Ukraine for Putin such that he can blame the war on somebody else.

 

I’m seeing tweets that Wagner has taken control of Rostov - one of the largest logistical hubs for the Russian army supplying the war. Anyone else seeing that? That would be insane. Wagner would have the Russian army in Ukraine by the throat.

 

Omfg is this really happening?

 

Some good info I think but who really knows. Nevertheless a good string from the Financial Times man inMoscow

 

Looks took to me. For the time being

 

Does this thing have legs? Odds are not good but some support too. If Russian army needs to send some troops for protection, that would be a good thing.

 

Seems to want better war fighting capabilities and says casualties are much higher than official numbers
