Just as there is no just actor in the proxy war in Ukraine



I firmly disagree. The just actor is the sovereign nation defending itself from an imperialist invasion.

Wait, this guy was Putin's cook?

Is this basically the equivalent of George Bush putting Bobby Flay in charge of Blackwater, and then Bobby Flay trying to pull a coup against Rumsfeld?

I should let all of you people know that any action outside Moscow is irrelevant

This seems like a ridiculously confident and specific statement to make <6 hours into this conflict.

If Russia is serious about peace, they need to make territorial concessions to Wagner to end the war.

The negotiations have failed apparently, thank goodness

What is the matter with you?

Nothing super surprising in the speech, Putin called it treason and said Russia will defend itself. Did not mention Prigozhin by name, oddly.

Some posts going around, with the standard obviously questionable veracity, reporting Lukashenko is claiming to have negotiated a stop in Wagner's movement to "de-escalate."

Won't mean much of anything til that's confirmed by them provably stopping or a statement from Prig.

Quote from: President Johnson on June 24, 2023, 01:29:14 PM
I'm just saying one thing in general: The world is very fortunate a moron like Trump isn't president in this kind of international situation. Instead, there's a steady hand with decades of experience on foreign policy in the Oval Office, surrounded by an able and professional team.

Remember when everyone peed their pants over a supposed air strike in Poland, or whatever that was? And Biden did the smart thing and waited until there was more information?

This is why he's the best President of my lifetime. He is calm.
