coprolite Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I haven't been paying attention. Did this definitely actually happen or is it all a really convoluted "look over here!" before booting Ukraine square in the nuts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Seems like there's a new ex Russian Prime Minister whom I've never heard of coming out of the woodwork every day to slag off Putin, he should really have given them a better share of the loot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeltsin went through so many Prime Minister I think there were just giving anyone who fancied it a shot by the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Yeltsin trails the Conservatives, at least in terms of time in office per holder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Putin days in his speech that those who organised the rebellion are traitors and will be brought to justice. Wagner can either sign up with the MoD, go to Belarus or go home. How will Prigozhin react? How will Wagner troops react? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeTon Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Go to Belarus and stop fighting the war. Means that Wagner get to piss the Russians off, means the Russian war effort is f**ked (forcing Russia to come back with more agreeable terms) or have to send in more experienced (and valuable) units. Basically means that Wagner can (at least try and) strangle the Russians, politically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And screwed everyone he could," fumed one online poster claiming to be a Wagner fighter on a Telegram channel with 200,000 followers. We have a variation on bald fraud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Igor Girkin's take: Cue tired patter about windaes etc but how can you say we'll go after the organisers one second then turn around and say the Wagner dudes can head home or go to Belarus the next? Does that include the guys who shot down the 7 Russian military aircraft? Can see why Igor isn't impressed. Wonder why the "potato man" as he appears to be referred to in ex-CCCP circles delayed his speech. Did Vlad do something that deviated from a pre-agreed script? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African gold secured by Wagner has provided an important revenue source to Russia since their invasion of Ukraine. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/wagner-group-russia-insurrection-middle-east-africa The Wagner group in Libya are the most independent of the Russian government. UAE not Russia are actually the main funders and backers of Wagner in Libya. This despite UAE being an ally of USA, a host to US military installations and recipient of US weapons sales. Also the gold that Wagner obtains from Sudan and Central African Republic goes to UAE first before Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
