i call this move the "washington consensus"

we must replace Trump with DeSantis, because even though DeSantis is more capable of destroying our rights, conservatives won’t like him as much as Trump
Leftist Neoliberal MBA strategist in DC: “this but unironically”
imagine I posted the "when you fund a terrorist group to take out the terrorist group you funded to take out..." meme
Hoping for the outcome where a country that borders a dozen other countries becomes destabilized and embroiled in a power struggle.
If history is now repeating itself, then maybe Russia’s warlord era ends with a bald communist taking over
There’s still a chance for the monarcho-stalinists to come on top
Yes. The weirdest timeline. "The Monarchy are parasites but we're going to keep them in a nice little enclosure the way some people keep pet insects."
Now that you put it that way I kinda wish it had happened so I could point out how all the libs were thrilled about it in three years when Novgorod Warlords invade Poland or something...
We got like a 100% track record of destabilizing nuclear armed nations not killing everyone so I don't know what you're worried about
"We can't trust Prigozhin! He's a fascist mercenary whose only loyalty is to whatever enriches him the most!"
💖 We know! 💖
Why the fuck do I always look at the comments. I saw a literal nazi on there with 'Aryan' in their twitter handle, and with US and Ukraine flags in their name.
I wonder if theres any proverbs and common sayings about wounded animals and their relative level of danger.
I mean, when has supporting rabid right wing extremists against the Russian leadership ever backfired before?
libs gonna start stanning Prigozhin now. Wagner is big but not big enough to overcome the Russian military (russia's got 1 million active and 2 million reserve mil personnel vs wagner's 50 thousand). also Prigozhin denied that he meant to start a coup
Huh, only 20,000 more than Blackwater? I kind of assumed the gulf would be bigger.
take that info with a grain of salt, its based on a ukrainian source that claims 50k wagner PMC troops are fighting in ukraine, they have more in reserves for sure, but who knows if the ukrainian report is accurate
People are saying that there were less than 10k troops acutally supporting Prigozhin and far fewer who acutally took part in the occupation at Rostov and convey to Moscow. Like its not a good sign for the Russian government that this happened in the first place, but its pretty funny in light of how many libs were predicting Putin's overthrow last night.
Good guy or not, good analyst in general or not, he's totally correct in this specific case
"Ahh, but if we replace Putin with Kolchak The Jew Smasher Hitlerovski, he will only have access to 1500 nuclear warheads instead of 4000. At that point, we could totally take him."
Anne "why are all my friends neonazis" Applebaum has to be one of the biggest fucking jokes in the canon of pop historians. When you consistently cite sources that straight up disagree with the points you are supposedly taking from them, you should be disbarred from publishing anything even remotely associated with an academic field. Here is a great look into why she is shit and an excellent refutation of her Red Famine
The last time, a plane fly to the building. This time, seem like they want nuke to fly to their metropolis.
