    Must have drunk the tea after asserting he wanted an open investigation into the failure of the space mission.

    A Russian scientist who worked on Putin’s failed moon landing mission was rushed to hospital just hours after the probe crashed.

    Michhail Marov, a top astronomer, suffered a “sharp deterioration” in his health following the vessel’s failure.

    The Luna-25 spacecraft was unmanned when it lost control and crashed into the surface of the moon on August 19.

    The mission was Russia’s first attempt at a lunar expedition in 47 years, and Marov called it the culmination of his life’s work.

    Marov, one of Russia’s most highly valued physicists, was sent to hospital after his condition worsened after the crash.

    The astronomer has been reported to have been devastated over the spacecraft’s failed landing.

    Marov said: “It’s sad that we didn’t manage to land the device.

    He called it his “last hope to see the revival of our lunar programme” which has now been left in tatters.

    The physicist is keen to find out what caused the vessel to crash: “There was a mistake in the algorithms for launching into near-lunar orbit. It must be found.

    Given that vagner is a private (terrorism) organization created by putin, while, prigozin spoke about raping POW, that's possible.

    Now for some history...

    This Day In History
    1991

    Attempted coup against Gorbachev collapses
    https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/coup-attempt-against-gorbachev-collapses

    Just three days after it began, the coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev collapses. Despite his success in avoiding removal from office, Gorbachev’s days in power were numbered. The Soviet Union would soon cease to exist as a nation and as a Cold War threat to the United States.

    The coup against Gorbachev began on August 18, led by hard-line communist elements of the Soviet government and military. The attempt was poorly planned and disorganized, however. The leaders of the coup seemed to spend as much time bickering among themselves—and, according to some reports, drinking heavily—as they did on trying to win popular support for their action. Nevertheless, they did manage to put Gorbachev under house arrest and demand that he resign from leadership of the Soviet Union. Many commentators in the West believed that the administration of President George Bush would come to the rescue, but were somewhat surprised at the restrained response of the U.S. government. These commentators did not know that at the time a serious debate was going on among Bush officials as to whether Gorbachev’s days were numbered and whether the United States should shift its support to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Yeltsin’s stock rose sharply as he publicly denounced the coup and organized strikes and street protests by the Russian people. The leaders of the coup, seeing that most of the Soviet military did not support their action, called off the attempt and it collapsed on August 21.

    The collapse of the coup brought a temporary reprieve to the Gorbachev regime, but among U.S. officials he was starting to be seen as damaged goods. Once a darling of the U.S. press and public, Gorbachev increasingly was viewed as incompetent and a failure. U.S. officials began to discuss the post-Gorbachev situation in the Soviet Union. Based on what had transpired during the August 1991 coup, they began a slow but steady tilt toward Yeltsin. In retrospect, this policy seemed extremely prudent, given that Gorbachev resigned as leader of the Soviet Union in December 1991. Despite the turmoil around him, Yeltsin continued to serve as president of the largest and most powerful of the former soviet socialist republics, Russia.

    Prigo landed in Africa to liberate (as always) it

    Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin posted his first video address since leading a short-lived mutiny in late June, appearing in a clip possibly shot in Africa that was released on Telegram channels affiliated with the Wagner Group.

    Prigozhin is seen standing in a desert in camouflage with a rifle in his hands. In the distance are more armed men and a pickup truck. Prigozhin’s comments and some posts in the pro-Wagner channels suggested it was filmed in Africa.

    Nobody is talking about the huge economic consequences of the Ukraine war. The biggest casualties will be the US, Europe and Canada, all NATO countries. Russia despite, the fall of the ruble is doing much better, the same with China who close relations with Russia and BRICs will enable it to thrive economically, in the near future. Contrast that with the US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, all beset by rising inflation that is completely out of control. Companies suffering economically, some of them will fail totally and Europe, Canada and the US will be a poor shadow of itself economically, sooner than later. These Ukraine war will continue to drain the coffers of NATO and the US while, the NWO globalists enrich themselves on the tens of billions they send to Ukraine. Quid pro quo arrangements galore. The end is near economically for the US, Europe and Canada and while, our resident ET trolls cheer that prospect, your very countries tied to the US like Canada and the European Union countries are all in the same sinking boat, Titanic 2.0. There are no life jackets, no boats this time out and no exemptions for you either. You can thank Joe Biden and the RINO NWO globalists for doing such a good job destroying the US.

    It seems to me that China has its own economic problems, and I cannot say anything about Russia. It's an economy built on resources, not much different from underdeveloped countries in Africa.
