The Brink of War?

[Moses]

===now turned round and started fighting Russians====

Wagner made no one shot. So for these who trust into "started fighting with Russians" I have bad news. By the way - they already on the way to their places on the contact line with Ukrainians.

All these movements are just under carpet fight of two elites. It is easily visible by moment of start: Friday evening right after closure of all stock exchanges. Everything will be resolved within weekend.

And by the way: for everyone on the West is better to have Putin in Kremlin, because Prigozhin represent right wings of elites, he is clearly monarchist, his dispute with Shoygu (minister of Defense) is about how slowly army advances, he wants American tactic - first of all to wipe cities and then only to take territories, he is calling for using of tactical nuclear weapon.

I think Nick Cage would be good as Putin with Ben Kingsley as the slightly deranged Prighozin and Ray Winston as Zelensky..

Personally I think Anthony Hopkins would be perfect in the role of Prighozin... (remember Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs)?

And the part of Putin would simply have to go to Luo Yuanpin, a 56-year-old farmer from Chinese Anhui province.

I'm casting boyishly handsome Dev Patel as boyishly handsome Rishi Sunak, slightly goofy John Lithgow as rather odd puppet/psycho Alexander Lukashenko and we're trawling the Floridacare homes to find someone to play the confused Joe Biden.

The Wagner Group are now heading off to Belarus where presumably they won't be fighting Ukranians or Russians or Belarussians. So what exactly will they all do there? With the war not going well already and now a good sized chunk.of the forces deserting. expect a change of tactics from Putin as satire is replaced by full on slapstick.

====With the war not going well already and now a good sized chunk.of the forces deserting====

War is not going fast, but going well: Russia builded fortifications at winter and now just waiting when sponsors of war will be tired from money burning, at the same time it trains reserve army from mobilized at past autumn conscripts. 25K of 450K isn't big chunk. Moreover: soldiers from Wagner are going to regular army's parts to join.

So now is war on positions. Ukraine has less recourses, first of all - people. Result is predictable.

Huge intensive hunt for Western military technic is going on the line of contact, because Russia pays bonus US$ 125000 for each Leopard, $50000 for Bradley. In some cases Ukrainians just sell its to Russia because it is better to have $125K and be alive than to be just died.

Do you mean American withdrawal?

Because Russia never been in war with Afghanistan, USSR did it in interests of republics of Central Asia.

UK. Several times. Fail
Soviet Union. Fail.
America. Fail.

A glance at the history books will show you that it's virtually impossible for one country to invade another of any decent size if that country and its citizens/armed forces decide to really fight.

Well, looks like no one American president knew it before to invade.

True. But that won't help Russia. Remember that Ukraine doesn't have to win, they just have to not lose and they're playing at home.
