    The US military leadership is chomping at the bit to keep the fighting in UKR going. They'd love to get involved, but all the intel they are getting is priceless in their push for more money / equipment / etc.
    Raytheon was awarded a 1.1 billion for missiles this week. Have to admit war is great for the economy.

    Unfortunately a LOT of FMS sales is paid for by the USG... not all of it, but when you "The US provided XYZ BN in aid to <insert country>" a lot of that is us buying weapons for them as 'aid'.

    But, but, but. Muh "safety." Muh economy. Muh chi'rens... C'mon Rhino :p

    Russian coup. Meh. Never really got started, but now Vlad is pissed, tuned in on exactly who cannot be trusted, and has the experience/training to not let his emotions distract him from his objective(s).

    Spoiler; world peace will not be breaking out soon. Get a beer and your favorite snack...

    So I am thinking a false flag operation. Something is fishy. Now the head of Wagner has been banished to Belarus ?? I think he is heading to Belarus to rearm, resupply his 25,000 troops and attack Ukraine from the north.

    I don't understand how the Wagner guy would expect to simply retire and exist anywhere other than Russia. Does he think the Jews/Nazis/NATO will let him simply retire? Where on earth can a man like that honestly expect to retire?
    Seems to me they'll drone, missile, gun him nonstop till they have his head. Especially when outside of Russia.
    To send him anywhere else would be a literal death sentence. Why would he agree to that?
    Something ain't right..

    Any one figure out what the hell actually happened here?
    Maybe in a few months we will get some true facts but by then we will be licking a new flavor of the month . One thing is for sure typical foreign policy of any nation to pickup the propaganda rumor ball and run run run ,the media carrying water on it too. Coups have been common for centuries [et tu brutus] ,french army algeria ,vietnam ,south america etc]. How would history judge gen Westmoreland had he revolted because he was not allowed to win a war and thought about his troops being killed needlessly [ i think he should have re-signed ] . Right now all we are going to get is how bad russia is and how brave the uke is in winning and now is the time for more aid

    Ruskies pulled a rope-a-dope, on each other. lol This isn't over. Either Putin will be ousted, or Prigozhin will be dead in 6 months or less. One simply does not embarrass Putin and live to tell about it, within the borders of Russia...

    Yeah its a sad state of affairs as far as news goes. Not only are they blocking Russia media as hard as humanly possible, but the press was banned from being anywhere near the NATO/Ukraine front long ago. It's why ya always see them inventing ways to interview people from within Kiev etc, or showing some random GoPro video. Then, even our Intel guys aren't allowed in the front and also must rely on the Intel their Intel guys tell us. We have no way of knowing what's actually going on, let alone how the money is being spent and actually casualties etc.
    In other words, we will never know what is really going on if we rely only on our news and Intel. At least Russia is allowing reporters to their front. They're heavily censored and blocked but at least they're allowing it
