A little over a year ago, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Putin’s former cook and the founder of the notorious Wagner private military company, launched a coup attempt that fizzled quickly. But, significantly, the Russian military and security services did nothing to stop it. They just watched — hardly a sign of their loyalty to Putin.
A few days ago, Georgy Zakrevsky, another head of a private military company, effectively called on Russians to get rid of the “Great” Putin (his modifier, not mine). When the guys with the guns start making fun of your greatness, it may be time to read the writing on the wall.
The 53-year-old Zakrevsky is no liberal and no good guy. He served in the KGB and Soviet army, earned a law degree and got “involved with secret activity, information about which is forbidden.” He then moved on to “independent military consulting” and founded the mercenary outfit Paladin.
Paladin is scary. Its own website describes the group as follows: “A few years ago no one knew of the private military company. Now the whole world knows. Let the dilettantes think we’re killers; their views don’t interest us. People don’t turn to us to defend their pharmacies; they don’t ask for permission to use arms. We don’t need to prove anything.”

Zakrevsky must be mad as hell and, more important, he must know that he’s not the only Russian military man who agrees. And why shouldn’t their veins be throbbing? The Great Putin has come close to destroying Mother Russia.

Putin has been a disaster for Russia
Instead of concentrating on developing the country’s vast resources - which a responsible leader would do - Putin has wasted the country’s money and youth on constant wars for 22 of the 25 years he’s been in power
Every year he’s in power, the Russian quality of life goes down
FAIL
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
First Joe, now Vlad! The times are a changing….
Now, do Northern Cuba where you are from...
This thread is about Russia, it has nothing to do with Canada.
Don’t try to change the subject, in another desperate attempt to avoid talking about Putin’s failing invasion.
(like you Putin Groupies usually try to do)
Fidel Jr., is this your screen name????
I thought you did a big old crybaby opus and left. Back to the Naziland to the north of the us.
But here you are in the midst of our election posting stupid propaganda for the craphole Ukraine that we do not care about and want to go away.
We know, the grunting midget grifter needs more US taxpayer cash, so here you are in all your goofness.
Russia has been a disaster for Russia.
If something happens to Putin (ex: four 9mm bullets in his chest), his retinue of fans here on Free Republic will be sadly disappointed.

Do remember Vlad has a 90 percent approval rating. Be reminded the US has had constant war for the last 20 years, they killed millions and spent trillions since Gulf War 1, then Gulf War II, etc, etc, etc…Vlad’s sporadic, small ventures pale to the US’s death and destruction.
The US is a bigger danger to the world than Russia.
The Reepers aren’t going to like this column. lol
Damn Pedo Joe sniffin’ “Doctor Z”. Man crush?
