Prigozhin: We fought in Bakhmut against superior forces, destroyed about 50,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces and wounded up to 70,000

▪️ PMC "Wagner" had 3.2 times fewer dead than the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and about 2 times fewer wounded.
▪️ The PMC in Artyomovsk had 50,000 people at its best, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine - 82,000, and the ratio for the assault should be 3 to 1 for the attackers.
▪️During the operation, I chose 50,000 prisoners, 20% of them died, another 20% were injured.
▪️The goal of Artemovsk was not Artemovsk itself, but the Bakhmut Meat Grinder. And in Artemovsk, we destroyed everyone we were supposed to destroy, we completed the task.
▪️The task was completed due to the highest level of organization.
▪️We have our own: planes, helicopters, air defense, artillery, MLRS, reconnaissance and even our own satellite reconnaissance.

Actually, Wagner started with 50,000 prison volunteers who signed up on a 6 month contract.

If they survived, they were granted pardons.

According to Russian sources, only 5,000 survived to obtain pardons.

You are living in a dream world.

Russia has been prospering because of the idiotic actions of your heroes in the Biden administration and Western Intelligence agencies. While we squandered $113 Billion using Democrat math... the Russians made over that amount in increased export revenues in 2022 alone. Putin is now more popular in Russia and countries representing 90% of the world's population than he has ever been. They are watching woke Western leadership in action and are seeing 3rd world country Russia winning. This is a far worse debacle than even the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was.

If accurate accounting methods were used... we have now spent more money in Ukraine than we did in 20 years in Afghanistan, and that is not counting the damage done to our economy and the rest of the world. And of course, the worst tragedy is the death and maiming of 100s of thousands of good Ukrainian and Russian people. And what has this accomplished? Nothing! Except a further tarnishing of our image in the world. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of the history of this region since the break-up of the Soviet Union understands that Russia drew a line on NATO expansionism long ago and the corrupt puppet regime installed by Soros and Western Intelligence agencies crossed that line. Then they were further goaded by assurances by Joe Biden himself that a “minor incursion” would cause no reaction.

Biden Gives Putin OK For

Donald Trump:

“I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying,” Trump said at CNN’s town hall moderated by “CNN This Morning” anchor Kaitlan Collins.

…he doesn’t “think in terms of winning and losing.”

“I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people,” he said.

Why was he bitching about the Kremlin not giving him enough support then?

I hope his 15 mins are up.

You imply that because I see Putin as a bad guy, somehow biden is my hero? Thats funny. Kind of hard to read the rest of your post when your primary assertion is so flawed I’m busting a gut.

Typical! You poor victim. You are putting “implied” words in my post. I see Putin as a bad guy as well and have never said a positive thing about him here or anywhere else. It is your steadfast support of Biden's lunacy leads one to believe that you are a follower of BIden.

Not a certainty, but if you want to consider that a possibility, it would be an nuclear exchange initiated by a losing Russia. Which goes back to my earlier comment, Russia’s military is not even in the same class as US/NATO forces.

Your words, not mine. Yes you 'implied'. I am bored with you now. You fight like a girl.

Thankfully Putin is brain dead and the pitiful Russian army will collapse. Zelensky appreciates your support Kazan.

If NATO actually got into this fight, Russia would be running away with its bear tail between its legs.

You don't want a wider war, nor do I.

But making very broad (and ridiculous) assumptions, like this, is exactly how the US deep-state and neocons dragged us into this war.

Proof is in the performance, so the assertion (not assumption) is supported by what has unfolded on the battlefield between the russian forces and the (NATO supported) Ukrainian forces. Ukraine, over the last 15 months has held off a numerically superior force on a number of fronts, from the first nights of the war right up to now. Not without costs, but the nation of Ukraine still stands.

...how the US deep-state and neocons dragged us into this war.

Despite what I think about the current admin, defending against russian aggression into western Europe is not 'neocons dragging us into war'. Its drawing the line to prevent wider war. You cant keep turning the other cheek. Thats irregardless of what neocons want.

LOL. US weapons, intel and training have been on Russia's border, 5000 miles from the USA, for 15 years, and are even now being used for attacks inside Russia - but we are the long-suffering, meek and timid ones.

I imagine many "strategic planners" in DC think like you - which means it will only be by the Grace of God if we are not incinerated in nuclear war.

NATO, and US forces, were on the borders of the USSR for some 50 years, so nothing new. So much drama. Peace through strength, again.
