Meanwhile, Putin says that everything is fine, basically
cough cough:

Fun fact, at least one of the women in the backdrop has previously been cast in other roles as well:

I wonder if the people of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc appreciate the "invading then giving back?"
Seriously? I thought you were just a gullible Republican. Now you sound like something else. Invading and giving back still beats the alternative which is what Russia is. What the hell is the love Republicans have for Russia anyway? I think they all now understand a little better what they gained and what they lost without the invasion and keeping. Ask Vietnam what they appreciate and what they hate about the US now. Then ask any country what they feel about the Russian way. Maybe the US way isn't what it should be but it's a damn site better than attempting to take and keep for world domination or even just paranoia.
I thought you were one thing but I suspect now I'm wrong.

It's the love for those two things under Lincoln hands, but after Mussolini :p And Russia today is just the country implementing those ideas ( -> (

Here in Italy the Far Right has fallen in love with Putin "thanks" to the obsession for "law&order" above all, imposed - maybe ethnically,
why not? - "for the greater good".

He's the "strong man" they always wanted for "America", all comes down to this: the shameful exibition of strength and power.

Interesting new theory, what if the suspicious deaths are part of the upcoming power struggle that's likely if Putin is ousted or he's as sick as some speculate.

As Russia’s ruling elite one-by-one fall down stairs or out windows, another star is rising. Now speculation is mounting that “Putin’s Chef” is preparing to step out of the kitchen.
He started out with a catering business.
He quickly became part of President Vladimir Putin’s inner sanctum.
He’s now behind Russia’s cyber warriors and a host of online trolls
And he has his own mercenary army.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is becoming increasingly bold. He’s spruiking his Wagner Group mercenaries as Russia’s most effective fighting force. He’s waging a verbal war against key Putin appointees. He’s winning public support among extremists who believe their ageing president is failing them.
That’s why some warn he may end up being “worse than Putin”.
But among Putin’s kleptocratic (government of thieves) circle of power, he’s rapidly emerging as the 70-year-old’s most likely successor. Or usurper.
And now he’s openly attacking the Kremlin’s military leaders for their failing war efforts.

Of course Prigozhin wants his share. But he's "without soul" in a world where a fictional "soul" is important to show it as moral foundation of power exertion and use ("
we fight ukronazis, we're the good ones, we're defending OUR MOTHER(russia)"). So not sure if he will do the jump. In USA of course he will be a star......the perfect "self made man" with an ultraviolence spin ( (
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/sledgehammer-execution-russian-mercenary-who-defected-ukraine-shown-video-2022-11-13/) ).
To fight this type of guys you must fight the violence fascination and it's really hard in an
americanized world......that's the paradox.

Perfect russian.

Of course is real :|
And from the name you can tell how much "russian" is "to be a russian mercenary" (in fact russian elites are german since centuries and it's why they pump so much the "
anglo-saxons world marauders" narration......they're too "anglo-saxons" or dream to be).
You can't imagine how much in the european Russia there's a profound fascination for Germany (and in particular for the old Prussia)......and viceversa (russian pogroms -> lagers)
The 1821 Odessa pogroms are sometimes considered the first pogroms. After the execution of the Greek Orthodox patriarch, Gregory V, in Constantinople, 14 Jews were killed in response.[1] The initiators of the 1821 pogroms were the local Greeks, who used to have a substantial diaspora in the port cities of what was known as Novorossiya.+
