Video roundup of reports on Wagner "crossing the Rubicon" into Russia after their bases were attacked by Russian military.
“THE CIVIL WAR STARTED IN RUSSIA, PUTIN’S MILITARY ATTACKED WAGNER MERCENARIES”
And my waist size in 29.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Is Wagner (whoever he is) better or worse than Putin on an absolute scale? For the Russian people?
For the USA??
was this an intentional side effect of US foreign policy (to topple the Russian government)??
Right?
Now we can start sending aid to Russia...
when did we stop?
I thought it started at Ft. Sumter, but history has changed since I was in school.
Seriously, if Vahgner is the supposed instigator of a Russian civil war, I can rest assured that my weekend activities will not be affected.
Lol, I guess now we can go public with it since it’s an emergency and all.
The Wagner Group didn’t start into operations in the Ukraine until 2014. They were originally started in 2013 and known as a unit of special forces of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), the 700th Independent Spetsnaz Detachment of the 2nd Independent Brigade. The Ukraine fired a shot across the Russian government’s bow in 1991 when they annexed themselves from Russia as the Soviets disbanded. And that’s when the real “war,” at least of words started prior to the weapons in 2014 being used.
The basis for post-Soviet relations were set by the Belovezh Accords between the new Ukrainian leader Leonid Kravchuk and Russia’s president Boris Yeltsin, alongside the Belarusian leader Stanislav Shushkevich. While the leaders agreed to formally dissolve the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russians wanted to create new suparanational structures to replace it, to the opposition of the Ukrainians. While this led to the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States, it did not result in any legally binding commitments.
An Armed Forces of independent Ukraine were soon established: Leningrad Mayor Anatoly Sobchak said that this was “a time bomb under the future of all mankind” while political scientist John Mearsheimer advocated a nuclear-armed Ukraine to maintain peace and prevent Russia from moving to reconquer it.
So this “war” as we know it between Russia and the Ukraine actually started when the Ukrainees founded the Pro-independence People’s Movement of Ukraine in 1989 and the subsequent walking away from the new Russian government in place in 1991.

Nope. It will cost trillions to rebuild Ukraine, and we will be on the hook for all of it. Plus 10% for the big guy
Mine is 33. Getting there. You can too.
Another Russian neo-imperialistic rant. When the Soviet Union dissolved Russia agreed to recognize Ukrainian independence and sovereignty. Russia reaffirmed this when it signed the Budapest memorandums. The Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014 when Putin reneged on these agreements.

If you believe this, you’re dumber than sack of cat feces.
We're FAR more likely to have a civil war than Russia.
And, I sort of look forward to one, one where criminals like the Biden crime family and those that use our foreign policy to make money are brought to justice.
The Russian military is a bunch of meatheads. The Wagner mercenaries were the only group to recently achieve a victory.
Kazan, take a night off from your usual crazy ranting and instead try and fill us in on what is going on in Russia.
Use your incredible Russian sources to inform us about this shocking activity taking place in Russia and what is going to come of it.
“If you believe this, you’re dumber than sack of cat feces.”
Are you keeping up with the news?
Amid strife with Kremlin, Wagner Group mercenaries enter Russian city, its chief says
