"I'm not going to charge Prigozhin, but I will send my assassins after him...." Because, well, that makes sense.

I hope this idea gets shut down quick, it would be very bad for everyone.

Man.....first Turkey works out a trade for the soldiers captured in Mariupol and now they've agreed to allow Sweden into NATO/OTAN. Putin can NOT be happy. These are big losses for him; for different reasons, but still big losses.

These things rather surprise me. I wonder what's up behind the scenes.....

 

[squeekness]

Putin can't be happy, that is true. If he thought going into Ukraine would somehow weaken NATO it backfired spectacularly. Now NATO is bigger and more united.
