This is clearly an attempt to smooth over the divide between himself and the Wagner group that has formed in recent weeks.

Personally, I doubt that it will be enough.

You don't seem to understand what Wagner is. There is no conflict between Putin and Wagner's Prigozhin. Putin does not need to "smooth" any divide. Wagner Group is an extension of Putin himself. It exists only as a means to deny Russian involvement in the worst atrocities. It's all about the perception of a rogue and dangerously unaccountable military force, when in reality it does exactly what Putin wants.

  1. Send half of population to die in Ukraine.
  2. Send other half to gulag.
  3. Rule over empty country for the few remaining years he has left.

How is this bad plan?

basically entering 1984's Thought Crimes territory. Russia has gone full circle back into Stalinism, but it will be called Putinism by historians, even the constant at war or under siege mentality is the same.

While putin is edicting Russia into WW3, what is Russia’s parliament doing? The Russian Federal Assembly is supposed to represent the Russian people. Are they afraid of madman putin? Shouldn’t they be more afraid of what putin is doing to Russia and the hell he is bringing down on his subjects?

Mercenaries--I remember when I was a kid back in the late 1970s some of my older classmates were really into Soldier of Fortune magazine. My mother's BFF's husband also really got into it. He also sent his wife to the hospital a few times before she left him. I am not a fan of that mindset. Just a bunch of disposable creeps. I hope the Wagner merc's next of kin receive nothing.

The Russian authorities were arresting children for holding up blank pieces of white paper. It's hilarious that Russia pretends to have laws

Punishing mercenaries' critics? Does that mean that anyone pointing out that using mercenaries is against Russian constitution will now go to jail?

So you’re going to arrest your own soldiers(the biggest critics of Wagner) and have them end up fighting with Wagner? All this with your already screwed logistics? Please.

Ah thanks! I definitely tried to look leadering on the dictionary and nothing came up…

But leading gives “guidance or leadership, especially in spiritual context.”, that’s why I asked :)

>The scheme to send convicts to the war appears to have grown fast, with figures obtained by CNN from Russia's penal system showing a 27,000 drop in the prison population between March and November last year, when the scheme was just three months old.

The meat grinder needs meat. You think Russia cares where it comes from?

Thats being recruited by Wagner. It's like saying going to US prisons 100prc means getting f ed in the arse. It can happen but its not guaranteed. Also its your choice to join Wagner.

it seems trumplethinskin is finally realizing that Putin has abandoned him, as alt-reich propaganda like Fox turns anti-orange in support of Governor DeathSentence.

probably explains why Rhonda is suddenly sucking Putin's mushroom, he knows the russian money is up for grabs if he slurps hard enough

Putin and Xi deserve to have things done to them on live TV, nothing bad or painful, only the worst thing they have ever subjected none else to.
