a contest:

who is the biggest, most vile, evil and terrifying killer?

putin of prigozhin?

[MeganC]

Yevgeny Prigozhin didn’t kill himself.

[nickfrost1]

His private army is pushing hard to give Russia a battlefield win in Ukraine, but mounting evidence suggests the Kremlin has moved to curb what it sees as the excessive political clout of Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group.==

It is total BS.

Prigozhin is a Putin asset. He is needed to Putin just to have an alternative example how to fight right to show to those generals of military. The many generals and officers are mostly acquired their ranks in peace time by servicing parades or exercises. They have less or nothing of a battle experience.

But Vagner is fighting all times. So they became much more effective fighting force than an ordinary military. It creates for Putin kinda the good example on effective fighting skills and also the spirit of competition for all military.

This Prigozhin has come a longways from being Putins chef https://images.unian.net/photos/2020_10/thumb_files/1000_545_1602755704-1949.jpg?1

SS vs SA again. Fortunately, this time it’s Nazis with special needs on both sides.

There’s not much funny about this whole sordid affair.

Except the childish fights between the pro-Russia FReepers and everyone else. They’re pretty hilarious.

Alex Christoforou of The Duran: "Looking at the physical reality of the situation. There are no tanks, there are no fight jets and there is no ammo to give.

"Tanks and fight jets, if there are available to give, the time it would take to train (Ukraine soldiers) will take too long.

"It's not going to make a difference. Everyone knows it isn't going to make a difference. It's obvious.

"We've even had commanders in the Polish military, former ones, that have said it's over.

"Ukraine doesn't have the ability to launch an offensive."

You know how it goes in the Kremlin. When one door swings shut, another window opens...
