That's Western democracy (not). Here's your freedom; a cage match with Ivan the Bear.

It looks like Austin and General Milley are finally getting through to the President.

"Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), has said that Russian forces deliberately blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) on orders from the Kremlin." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...2c64308e&ei=19

What an asshole. smh

The US active military (eg Generals, Cavoli, Milley) is still trying to transmit to its civilian bosses the realities of Ukraine.

Why not talk about your buddy Putin has been deceived every step of the way by both his military and intelligence agencies? His easy 3 or 4 day campaign to conquer Ukraine and depose Zelensky is now 16 months old with hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties.

Prigozhin vs Russia's MOD

It appears a military coup is underway in Russia. Prigozhin has Shoigu and Gerasimov in his sights and is apparently marching on Moscow with 25,000 troops while the Kremlin's "fortress plan" has been put in place.
