She'll be rewarded for patriotism by being matchmaked with an FSB beast that has a head like a donkey wait and see.
That kind pf luxury shopping is confined to that circle of Putin's Silovicki, or Oligarchs, not to the millions of ordinary Russians. Forget it. But it goes to show just how wealthy the selected few are. Flights to Dubai, Saudi etc. on whim, to pick up the latest jet set fashion for the season. But one thing stood out for me, normally these shopping avenues would be thronged with people, but not so much in her video? So somehow, I don't think that it is now quite as affluent as it was pre-war. The biggest threat to Putin will come either from these people or the military. Any bets?
Looks like the Ukrainians are sticking to the new plan of not risking every man and woman available to hold non strategic area's.Khrokmalne has been evacuated to better defensive lines
The man who doesn't seem to just die Ukrainian military intelligence no evidence prigozhin is actually dead ....
How long has it been?
Lavrov slips down the ladder of mental wellbeing
Merchants of death being a positive on Russian society. Those who left the country were a bad influence and those who died were a bad influence. When you are so sure of your position that the philosophy of a reactionary satirist trumps the individual existence of life.
You'd wonder when the pitchforks will be coming out and Lavrov and Putin will be thrown off the bridge.
Do they need something like this as evidence?
Yeah that should do ,
Remember he died in a Himars strike at one stage and returned to tell the tale
Makes sense. And UAF will probably be able to push Russians back easier.
If there is no conclusive evidence that he is dead, is there any that he is alive? Has he been spotted on holiday in Cancún? Then again, he is a 'master of disguise' so maybe no one would recognise him...
Noticing a dodgy beard theme, there.
Anyway, to entertain this idea that he isn't dead a bit more, if the world never hears from him again, that's kind of the same thing from a bigger strategic perspective, although it would rob us of the satisfaction of knowing such a murderous man died a harrowing death. And if he isn't dead, I can only assume that Putin did all he could to ensure Prigozhin's exile is a final one.
But given Putin's tendency to assassinate figures who caused him much less trouble than a rebellion, I don't see why he would spare the guy who actually did stage a rebellion and would want that guy out of the picture. I don't think Putin thinks like the bully in the film where he actually respects the nerd more when he hits back.
I've a mate who's the spitting image of him with the baldhead and bad Beard,he holds Pro Russian views too ,
Zaluzhnyi said a few months back October I think that they wouldn't be risking men for positions that Can't be held,I think Bakmuth may have been Just as costly for his men as it was the Russians,at the same time he said non military people were making battlefied decisions they shouldn't be
25 dead at a market in occupied donesk
Both sides blaming each other
Hmmm...
Any Russian kids who show any kind of exceptional aptitude in any kind of sport, or any field of endeavor are "taken over" by the state, and sent to special state schools, where they are tutored in their special field above and beyond what would be tolerated in the west. They are under unbelievable pressure when representing the Motherland.
Talk about death by a thousand cuts.....I was reading on another site that between 3 and 5 Russian passenger planes per day report malfunctions. Thats PER DAY!!! Come back Boeing, all is forgiven!! ( well nearly all anyway)
People with an interest in this can divert to the aviation world ....

More on the Bashkortostan riots and the imprisonment of Fail Alsynov.
Ruslan Gabbasov a leader also of Bashkort who is exiled in Lithuania, has his say. Ye may go into the settings of Youtube and select subtitles auto translate to English if ye don't understand the language.
Ron DeSantis has pulled out of the US presidential race and thrown his support behind Trump, this could be very worrying going forward, dough boy is has already said he won't come to the aid of Taiwan if he's elected as they took away from America
Trump hasn't been elected yet; and honestly DeSantis had a snowflakes chance in hell of getting the nomination. Nothing has changed today except for donors' bank balances.
But it's not helping Trump is making gains and Bidens sliding in the polls Republicans will now keep dragging their heels over funding Ukraine, we've seen from Iraq and the red sea lately Biden doesn't seem to be in the mood for any kind of fight lately,
Compare to funding and aid to this time last year it's down 90% if I read correctly
You know who else was leading the polls for ages? Hilary Clinton.
The Biden campaign hasn't started and disenchantment with a sitting presidents won't necessarily translate to polling day. There are many twists and turns but De Santos doesn't in any way make Trumps election a fait accompli.
DeSantis pulling out and endorsing comrade Trump means next to thing IMHO. He was already running away with the Republican nomination. This changes nothing in that regard.
DeSantis puling out of a Republican primary which comrade Trump was and is already running away with means next to nothing IMHO either to that process nor does it make any different to the chaos that is the Republican party in the house of Representatives. It changes nothing IMHO.
I would agree. The real US presidential race has barely got underway and at this point all we can say IMHO about the more than likely matchup is that Biden is a poor candidate and comrade Trump is a horrific candidate.
In this case I don't see a minute Hatchet job , Biden has been a lame duck for the last few months between Ukraine, Israel and now the red sea , he's looking more and more weak in a physical sense let alone politically
What happened to Harris, thought she was been groomed to be Bidens replacement ,
Who?
That's the first question that comes to everyone's mind lol.
I thought the same myself, that she would be front and center and the obvious choice for the next president. I don't think people assumed Biden would run for a second term.
Seems she was just solely on the ticket to tick a box.
Haley could well be the next president. I believe she supports Ukraine ?
Hailey's only chance seems to be if Trump is put away ,he has such a hold over the party most think he is the answer unfortunately.
