Brings a new meaning to "assisted suicide"!

He would do well to avoid room and office windows higher than ground level.

Yes, gravity, always operational.

Prigozhin seems to have already folded
That's a bit quick for a game of chess

Well when ya got your forces traveling by road without air support, ya may not be much of threat. Shades of iraqi army retreating from Kuwait, and Pres Bush calling off the massacre.

The beginning of the end for Putin.

Just instills in me I'm very happy & proud to be living in the USA.

War is a nasty, nasty, business, especially anytime Russians are involved. There are no friends, no allies, and no one can truly be trusted.

After this whole story about mercenaries dominated the news Saturday, I sat down and re-watched one of my favorite films on the subject...

Believe nothing about this. Prighozin has made billions in the Russian disinformation deliveries for years. If he's really in Belarus, it's because Putin wants his man to keep Lukashenko in line.

The beginning of the end for Putin.

Oh, how I hope so!

Can you imagine being in his shoes right now? He dare not turn his back on anyone, and even his closest advisers can't be trusted.

I hope he doesn't know a minute's peace for the rest of his evil life, and I can't wait for him to take his place at Satan's dinner table...

If I read the reports correctly (and assuming they are accurate), Prigozhin and those troops who fired on Russian forces are to be "exiled" to Belarus. Seems like a sneaky way to redeploy Wagner troops to Ukraine's northern flank.

Just how many Russian military assets remain in the region?
Not that they've ever been bothered by annihilating their own, but a draw down of force makes room for a nuke.

The book is much better! Frederick Forsyth is one of my favorite authors! He was Clancy before Clancy came on the scene!
