All Wagner forces have left Ukraine and are on route to Moscow. That's 1 in 4 have left the Russian front lines.

Napshnap speaks in riddles. I think it's mainly to disguise a very ugly point of view
The point is simple - everything is under the states control. But, yeah, it may be unpleasant for some here.
"everything is under the states control"

That is possbly the saddest comment on this this forum I have seen across 5 years.

Imagine in the UK that everything was under the state's control. I can't even describe how terrible that would be.

I just hope Ukraine throw everything they have at the Russians over the next few days and pile it on.

Come on the Ukraine you won't get a better chance!

Hate it too (nanny state), but a democracy is only slightly better, still allows to rule by fooling the dumb majority. Some advanced form of democracy, like intellect-weighed-democracy (like "volume weighed price") will be much better. But... if there's nothing left I don't mind an anarchy)!

Fighting has broken out between civilians loyal to both sides.

Here's a nightmare thought, what happens if the Wagner Group get their hands on Russian Nukes ?

Indeed democracy is only slightly better. But that difference is like the water of life.
To have every decision in the hands of an elite is just flipping incomprehensibly stupid. I don't like the current govt in the UK but I would fight to protect their right to be useless and kicked out every 5 years.

Russians don't have that luxury.

Russian troops in Ukraine will soon be running out of fuel and ammunition as the Wagner Group have blown up logistic hubs used to ferry supplies to the front lines.

If I were Ukraine then I would launch a great deal at the Crimea bridge and isolate the Russian forces there.

This is better than watching Step Toe & Son.

:D
The Ukrainians are running out of popcorn. :lol:

Boris the Liar tried to fool the "dumb majority". He lied about Brexit, he lied about Partygate, he lied about what he knew. Look at him now. Out of office, out of parliament, reduced to writing newspaper articles about what a fat bastard he is and his vomiting and diarrhoea from taking slimming drugs and newsreaders are now cleared to call him a liar. Same happened in the US. You can only fool a dumb majority for one term and then you're out.

I'd like to know who controls the Russian nuclear arsenal immediately after the demise of Putin!

But he sat there for a few years and now earns 5 fold working for a priv company. And how many borises over there do you know?

He thought he'd be there for 3 terms but only lasted a couple of years. I don't care how much money he makes, I just hope he chokes on his next meal. :)
