The next Russian civil war is already under way.

Andrei Piontkovsky, a Russia-born commentator now living in exile in the United States, argues that the Russian elite believes that defeat in Ukraine is looming and that the Putin era is doomed. The feuding clans are gearing up for what comes next: protecting what they already have and contending for the vast assets that will be available after the regime’s collapse. This chimes with Prigozhin’s oddly conciliatory behavior of late: on New Year’s Eve, he gave mandarin oranges and seasonal greetings to Ukrainian prisoners-of-war. He has also said that “it’s time to finish the war and start real business.” It also explains his attempts to undermine the authority and credibility of Russia’s armed forces: perhaps the only institution that could hold the country together.

“...Russia-born commentator now living in exile in the United States...”

A civil war will occur in the US before it does in Russia. He will be wishing he stayed in his mother land when it happens.

WOW — The journal of a Washington DC globalist “think tank”. Thank you for posting.

We have such a complete shortage of posts here that back up the need for a FLOW of more and more TENS OF BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS and a continuing and increasing FLOW OF UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN BLOOD.

“Note how nearly every single foreign FReeper has now morphed into a Uke harpie.”

Maybe it’s because a whole lot of foreign Freepers remember that the Russians enslaved half of Europe for over half a century and slaughtered millions of their own citizens at the altar of unchecked government.

So there’s that.

Stalin made Hitler look like a rank amateur. And there are still statues of that monster from one end of Russia to the other.

Not me, I’m waiting for the Russia Spring offensive to see how this plays out. Remember we live in a country totally funding Ukraine, so the news is alway pro Ukraine.

“Uke Harpies”?

Whatever. I urge some self reflection. Perhaps try to obtain legitimate religious guidance.
