Well they're asking them to join the free Russians not the UA proper so if they're killing orcs I doubt UA will complain. As for Russia - they're f'ed all the time so how can it get worse?
Wouldn't be the first time Russian's switched sides and fought against a Nazi dictator who was raging genocide in Europe in an illegal and unprovoked war.
But isn't it a bit weird asking brutal killers who spent the last year murdering Ukrainians to suddenly switch sides as if they've now "seen the light"? Wagner is hardly an organisation pointing the way to a bright new Russia. You want to be careful who joins your team
I was hoping this might happen
You certainly seem to enjoy his contributions!

A 17 year old designed it. Impressive!
Pretty sure the Cyprus avenue is well closed off now. It used to be awash with Russian money but no longer.
100%. The method is the message.
Bumping him off in silence is far less educational.
He's a Meathead.
This guy is like Tucker Carlson, probably doesn't believe anything at all, just pushed buttons to make money
Socialism is a good idea. Someone should try it sometime.
Big strike
So... Socialism.
Saying either is a guaranteed path to their extremes is a nonsense
Capitalism is a bad system because it is based on profit and exploitation. Any good system should be based on service to the community. All work should be done for the greater good. This is how tribal societies work.
But who gives a flying f**k about 1800 Russian jobs?
@silverharp "I cant say I know anything about the Russian psyche"
They act with impunity. They don't discriminate between good and evil or right and wrong. They act to get results. In the short term this might work sometimes, but ultimately it leads to the disaster that Russia is today. If they didn't have all that gas to bail them out they'd by back in the stone age now.
So capitalism is the way to fascism?
I knew that was Heineken's statement and I was having a go at that and not your posting of it so chill out.
"More likely the one with his name on the passenger list would be the decoy"
Maybe that's just what he hopes you are thinking.
I think that question answers the question why Prigozhin wasn't killed earlier. Putin needed two months to find replacements for Wagner leadership. Most probably we will not see any changes in Africa, just instead of Prig, Wagner will be managed by someone else.
So what happens now with Russias involvement in Central Africa with the Wagner fighters down there left without leadership?
Will China move in.
I agree, Wagner is finished, but Putin has certainly made himself a few more enemies, and as the IRA once said to Thatcher: you need to be lucky every time, we need to be lucky just once.
Same goes for Putin and his enemies. Some day he may just get a taste of his own medicine
it was a response to why it was sold for a €1...
but great rant, i look forward to the next one.
Yes I'd also be very curious to know this, and also did those onboard (assuming not Prig himself) know what was planned?
More likely the one with his name on the passenger list would be the decoy. I wonder who was on the second plane, though. That interview Putin gave about his death was chilling. He kind of implied he did it by mentioning that Prigozhin made serious mistakes in his life. I see the Kremlin have already laid the ground to blame the west, by mentioning he had many enemies outside Russia. It would be great if karma caught up with Putin someday. Unfortunately I can't see it coming through Wagner they will be demoralised now that their leadership has been wiped out.
Dodgy business all right, even if you know where to make the cut. These bomblets are notoriously unstable at the best of times once armed. Whether they fall from the mother bomb, or are dropped from a drone, I'd say the effects will be the same, except maybe a bit more accurate when a drone is used.
Wagner being erased from Russian history as quickly as possible -
Yes, and especially the ones who are benefitting from it. Those outside Putin's approved schemes, not so much though.
And no wonder!!! Putin's msg to the masses is very simple:- " See what happens to anyone, even the rich and powerful, if they cross me" So be warned, if I can do this to them, imagine what I can do to you and yours. Behave or else!!! The last independent newspaper in Russia, Novaya Gazeta, was closed by Putin in April 2022. Prior that several of its journalists were murdered, and its editor, Dmitry Muratov, who had been a winner of the Nobel Prize in 2010 for his work in safeguarding freedom of expression, was attacked as well.
lol. naivety with no limit?
