Petraeus says Prigozhin killing shows Russia is a ‘mafia state’
The Hill ^ | 08/25/2023 | NICK ROBERTSON

Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus said the plane crash that killed Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin this week was likely an assassination by Russian President Vladimir Putin and proved Russia is a “mafia state.”

“I think that Putin saw that his image — at the very least, if not the reality — was that he was seen as weakened by this. He was obviously directly challenged by someone he created,” Petraeus said in a NewsNation interview Friday.

So many mafia states, these days. Some far away from home. Some, home.

Depends on what you mean by “US”.

If it means the current resident and his regime, they are all in for NATO’s and CIA’s Ukraine biolabs and zelenskysky and unconstitutional dollar transfers from the already-bankrupted corporation. So, that would make the “US” a criminal.

If you mean the organic WeThePeople of the USA Republic, fighting the above, then we (US) remain defiant and will prevail.

He is going to get a bunch of his cronies together and craft a letter stating that the Prigozhin death has all the earmarks of a Russian covert operation...

Putin should have instead indicted him over and over again and had his media minions launch a 24/7 vilification campaign, like they do in a certain democratic country.
