Wonder what this guy's INGO screen name is.

How soon does China see an opportunity?

That didn’t take long. Sharing a border with China would mean your country is never truly safe.

I wonder if the Russian checks are bouncing. Historically mercs became a problem if they were not paid.

How about that 6.2 billion that as an accounting error?

"According to the latest intelligence reports, Russia believes that the Ukrainian armed forces now intend to cover their failed counter-offensive in the Donbas by using US-supplied Himars multiple launch artillery and UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles, possibly in the longer range domestic version, to attack the Crimea.

If this happens, says Shoigu, Russia will consider both the United States and Britain to have fully entered the war as co-belligerents. And Russia will immediately respond to any such attack on its territory by destroying “the decision making centers” of the Kiev regime."

Yeah, ok. Apparently, the Russians can't even defend the "decision making" centers in Moscow.

We can't fight one small nation, so we'll declare war on some more nations?

Report: One of the commitments that Wagner's army accepted as a condition for the stop is extensive changes in the Ministry of Defense.

Looks like maybe the checks finally cleared? Have to wonder if it's really over.

Wonder if China covered the bill?

Some thoughts from Peter Zeihan. Three (3) video's which I will try to post in order.







One important issue he points out is that NO information coming out is reliable. We'll need to wait a few days or weeks before beginning to get a real picture of what happened.

Possibly a way to root out disloyal officers and officials? Possibly sanctioned by Putin?

US spy agencies knew 'something was up' before Wagner Group mutiny, report says

There had been "high concern" over what kind of instability a Russian "civil war" might cause, The Washington Post reported.

I cannot believe that Yevgeny Prigozhin does not know he is a dead man if he does not take out Putin and his cronies. Once he moved on Putin his only method of staying alive was to kill him and those who surround him.

He of all people should know that he is dead if he tries to hide in Belarus. If a nerve agent doesn't get him, polonium, or two rounds to the back of the head in a suicide will.

Considering how duplicitous Russians can be, I do have to wonder if Yevgeny Prigozhin's agreement is not a way to smoke out Putin in his associates so a more specialized element of the Wagner group can terminate them. He was never likely to take on the entire Russian army and security apparatus with what he had. Although there were reports that multiple units of the Russian army joined him. Shades of 1918.

I don't think it's over yet, nor will the ramifications for the current war in Ukraine be known for a bit. It could galvanize the Russian army and make them more dangerous. It could also be the first fracture that results in the dissolution of the current Russian state and the fracturing of it into multiple more ethnically aligned States.

Personally I would just prefer that the plundering of my wallet stop to support that war. The Europeans can gut themselves if they don't want to speak Russian.
