A leading crony of Vladimir Putin has urged him to stop the war now and tell the world Russia has achieved the aims of its 'special military operation', including decimating 'a large part of the active male population of Ukraine'.
Yevgeny Prigozhin - head of the Wagner mercenary army deployed by the Kremlin - posted a rambling statement online last night in which he made the surprise call for the war to stop.
He claimed Russia had taken a 'fat chunk' of Ukrainian territory, and that the most strategic route for its armed forces - who have suffered severe losses - would be to defend existing gains.

'For the authorities and society as a whole, it is today necessary to put a solid full stop on the special military operation,' said Prigozhin who is nicknamed Putin's 'chef' because he was once in charge of Kremlin banquets.
'The ideal option is to announce the end of the special military operation, to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned, and in a sense we have actually achieved them.

He admitted Ukraine could launch a counter offensive and break Russian lines.
'In this case, in the [Russian] army, which for years considered itself one of the best armies in the world, decadent moods may begin at first, and then the situation degrades.'
This happened in historic wars with Finland and Japan, as well as in the First World War when revolution came in 1917's 'tragic events', he said.
'This can lead to global changes in Russian society,' he said.
'The people are already looking for someone to blame for the fact that we are not the strongest army in the world, and in this situation they will look for 'the scapegoat'.'

Prigo always does this kind of thing whenever Putin starts a new round of chemo.
China could also declare victory against the U.S. after destroying hundreds of thousands young lives with the fentanyl war on the U.S. The young are the ones who would fight in a war, and if there are fewer of them, China could declare victory ahead of the actual war.
This war can only end when Putin’s head is placed on a pike by Russian patriots... Then it will be over.
Why would they do that?
I was told endlessly that Putin is on his deathbed and Ukraine was killing them.
Bakhmut has fallen and your much discussed Spring counter offensive has fizzled. And now Americans are being thrown into the meat grinder, head first. What’s next for your Clown show?
Sorry MarkusMinimus, that’s BS and nobody in Russia would be stupid enough to try that. The hoho attempt at an attack would be immediate.
Can someone help a brother out to understand our fentanyl problem? People take recreational drugs, but in some cases it is laced with fentanyl and they overdose and die?
Zeeper’s favorite war will not end until it jeopardizes US re-election campaign of extremist progressive Marxist Brandon Junta.
That’s what I thought. I have a hard time shedding a tear over druggies that overdose. Whether it’s fentanyl or not. Sad, but predictable.
Russia is a great nation that is currently being led by a maniacal midget with a nostalgia for Communism’s glory days... Sadly, when Russia was controlled by Communism it was never ‘glorious’ and most Russian’s are done with the notion of Communism. Why would they have a leader who isn’t?
Putin needs to be put down... Then Russia can progress as a capitalist nation, with all the freedom and consumerism that entails. Then instead of being scorned, sanctioned and ostracized they can perhaps be truly glorious. That can only happen if Putin is removed from power.
“”China is helping the drug users while also depleting the pool of potential military recruits.””
Not many military people are going to come from the pool of drug addicts dying from overdoses.
“Bakhmut has fallen and your much discussed Spring counter offensive has fizzled.”
Aren’t the Russians themselves admitting Bakhmut has not fallen?
And the Spring offensive hasn’t even started so how has it fizzled?
This is not what Prigozhin said in his post. Best seek it out and read for yourself.
You think our military people come from the world of hard-core drug users and addicts?
Somehow no one sent you the memo that Putin is more popular now with the majority of the world's population than he was previously. India, China, Africa, many parts of South East Asia, the Middle East, and everywhere else where Western Media and Social Networking are not heavily embedded believe that the US and NATO are on the wrong side of the Ukrainian situation. People in other parts of the world want our money and prosperity but they do not want the woke nonsense that we are now saddled with.
Russia has been prospering from the crazy nonsense in Ukraine. Their energy export revenues alone went up $120 Billion in 2022 as compared to 2021 with little to no increase in production. And as we recently learned from the “leaks”... in this conflict seven Ukrainians were killed for every Russian killed. The side with massively higher casualties is not typically "winning".
Putin is planning on attending the upcoming G20 Summit in India. He will be in the same rooms as our “Western leadership”. This signals that the entire fiasco is winding down... and the winner is? I will give you a clue; it is not Sleepy Joe. How ever evil he is, Putin is not an incompetent imbecile. And in the real world evil dictators typically prevail over incompetent imbeciles. So grow up and stop living in a fantasy.
