    You did not read carefully. I never favored the US over Russia. I said I believe the US will go under before Russia, in whatever shape it may be. Russians are a thousand times tougher and enduring people than the emotionally fragile Americans.

    Didn't you block me the other day and now you unblocked me? You seem a little indecisive and fragile, Mr unemployed.

    It's curious that the media reported on this inaccurately several times. I had somebody here telling me that Prigozhin was an intelligence officer but obviously not. Catering may be war but still.. I'm just commenting as I'm surprised somebody this normally informed had that wrong.

    I am curious about where Dmitry Utkin is now.

    I guess with their contracts he and Prigozhin can disappear off to Africa as Putin can't afford to have those operations collapse. It's all very feudal, as long as the lord keeps paying generous tribute to the crown he won't have to drink the tea.

    "The company that would later become known as Wagner was originally named the "Slavic Corps". It was founded in 2014 by Dmitry Utkin, a former Russian military intelligence officer. Prigozhin joined the company in 2015 as a food supplier, and eventually became its de facto leader.

    The company's name was changed to Wagner in 2016, after Utkin was reportedly inspired by the composer Richard Wagner. The company has been involved in a number of conflicts in the Middle East, including the Syrian Civil War and the Libyan Civil War".

    They never do.. Narcissists are notoriously bad a sensing personal danger. They are not brave, they just don't see the threats looming like a fully functioning mind. Of course this can work for them, until it doesn't.

    Reuters:

    Solid majorities of Americans support providing weaponry to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia and believe that such aid demonstrates to China and other U.S. rivals a will to protect U.S. interests and allies, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.

    The two-day poll that was concluded on Tuesday charted a sharp rise in backing for arming Ukraine, with 65% of the respondents approving of the shipments compared with 46% in a May poll.

    Eighty-one percent of Democrats, 56% of Republicans and 57% of independents favor supplying U.S. weapons to Ukraine, according to the latest poll.

    And they are correct. The US military is so oversized what's going to Ukraine is pennies over ten years. If it pulls back from this the prophylactic effect is wasted.

    How many times have you been suspended from this forum?
    Stay on point, this was a pretty good conversation, point counterpoint, no name calling ( except ex-gop and Burgen)
