    I don’t understand the logic here. When the putsch occured and then ignomously fizzled out, I saw Putin as weak for letting Pringles walk out with a (relative) slap on the wrist. Taking Prigo out of the picture was overdue. Obviously, anyone would feel threatened by an semi-autonomous mercenary army, so removing its leadership and breaking it up is just a rational course of action that probably should have been done sooner from that POV

      If they took him out before the deal was made sure, this soon after just shows weakness and a lack of credibility. They did the equivalent to getting into a bar fight, talking it out instead and then in front of every one sucker punching the other guy.

          They were losing a war to a bunch of tractors and their flagship was sunk by a country without a navy.

          It’s not Russian weakness, it’s Russian stupidity.

            were? so you admit that Russia is winning?

            besides, this is not what this thread is about, go cope to someone who cares

              No, they were losing to tractors, and Moskva was sunk without a navy.

              Now they’re getting real gear and training to play.

              The only thing Russia ever wins are Darwin awards. Fucking being proud of almost hurting a country a fraction of your size right next door, like the US being proud of conquering Ottawa.

              Say hi to those F-16s for me.

                  Yes… I am the propagandized one.

                  Not the rural poor being marched off to die for half the price of a lada they’ll never receive for an oligarch’s pride.

                  All I can say is: Please, PLEASE! Make sure they keep marching.
