War

[GenghisKush]

I never could understand how any American with even a shred of decency or self-respect could support the man after this.

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if we had a hand in setting this thing off. It's been a while since we used brains instead of brute but the skills are still there.

if so, it is a coup of a coup. a square coup. those are rare.
edit: but i have SERIOUS reservations about Wagner, who are well-documented as being very comfortable with nazi ideas, symbols, etc. I'm worried what might come after this period of internal conflict.

If Prigozhin was to seize power, would he be more of a problem than Putin? Could be much worse.

That was pretty quietly debunked. On brand, but not true.

He is a low-class thug like Putin, yet a bit more vocal and crazy I think. I presume that he is not going to rise to the top no matter what. If the russian regime/system survives, it is the old guard FSB'ish elements that hold the threads, Prigo isn't one of them.

If so I'd like to learn more about it. Would you kindly help me find some citation?

First article I grabbed.

Did Trump call US war dead "losers" and "suckers"? The controversy, explained.

It’s the word of a lot of trustworthy reporters relaying what unnamed people are saying against the word of untrustworthy people being open about where they stand.

He does love dictators.

So do his cronies.

Nah, that's Trudeau.

Waiting for the Chump Putin leg humpers spin on this one.

Still waiting for that proof of collusion. Guess who's been waiting MUCH longer.

Your facial expression when you need to tell the public that everything is fine and completely under control, but you are not allowed to leave the apartments and the internet will soon be closed...

I will agree that it was quietly but ineffectively debunked. Upon a quick read of that vox article I saw no evidence or testimony from anyone with any credibility that does anything but bolster the credibility of that reporting published in The Atlantic. Imma go back and read some more but I am dubious of your clam that the reporting is untrue.

edit: OK maybe I might possibly consider believing this guy. MAYBE

Putin was right after all.

Evil nazis plotted to attack Holy Mother Russia and take over Moscow.

Zelensky : Stays in Kiev. "I need ammo, not a ride." while being hunted by assassins and the neighbouring country
Putin: Flees immediately, when boyz are having a roadtrip..

 

[Blue Rhino]

And it's on. NATO has announced that if Putin attacks any NPP's in Ukraine or uses a tactical nuke Russia will be at war with NATO and be met with an overwhelming response by NATO.

 

[greyfader]

several news outlets have just announced that the Wagners are turning around as they have brokered some kind of deal with the generals.

Damn. Back to my trusted medias then:

 

[greyfader]

Everybody has it up now. After all, Prigozhin is a mercenary, which is like a whore!

It would have been better for Ukraine if the Wagners and the Russian army had a bloody, month-long battle on the interstate regardless of who ultimately won it.

But, I don't think it's really over in the long run. Both sides are acting butt hurt. This is probably just a temporary peace between them because of the war.

I can't see Putler just forgetting about it. He has demonstrated vindictiveness in the past.

 

[RobFromTX]

Youre damn right they wont forget about it. He'll fall out of high rise within 3 days

 

[Blue Rhino]

Well this war, oops, I mean "special military operation" is going well for Russia. They now have at least THREE armed groups of Russians attacking Russia; the RFL, the RVC and now Fagner PMS.

From "Kyiv in three days" to "holy shit we need to lock down and barricade Moscow". Bedpan is a fucking military jeenyus man.
