No idea why this goof is popping up now.

Only if he says Prigozhin is dead, it only adds to that Prigozhin is alive and well, and the plane crash is pure FF.

I’d expected the guy to be shot on site, along with every last one of the mutineers? Stalin sure as hell would’ve. Beyond that, yeah, how about “Indicting the lead opponent for the next election on 91 bogus charges”?

We’re not much different. Our current corrupt rulers put (or attempt to put) their political rivals in prison.

I heard that the Russians arrest political opponents — and also their lawyers — for non-existent offenses that are tried before kangaroo courts.

And yet it is just now being reported that the US is training Ukrainians to fly F-16s, which we are supplying to Ukraine via Norway.

Oh, and who blew up the Nordstream pipeline?

This guy’s done nothing since the surge in ‘06. 17 years. Time flys by fast and we all have a limited time to make our mark. He didn’t.

Harry Reid was right. This war is lost.
