Prigozhin a Tool of the CIA/SBU or Too Big for his Britches?!

Ms. Cat1 Comment

Remember when WaPo said that Prigozhin had made a deal with the SBU?! 🧐💭 Wikipedia has already made an entry on the Wagner Group mutiny! Victoria Nuland is probably orgasming right now (sorry for the visual)!

RT: “A video purportedly filmed in Rostov-on-Don shows a tank and an armored personnel carrier (APC) driving past a group of police officers who are guarding a fuel station. More military hardware, including another tank, another APC, two armored cars and a truck, follow shortly afterwards.”
YouTube: “Wagner with the National Guard & Russian Military [supposedly] TAKE OVER Russian Military HQ In Rostov-on-Don”.
RT: “Video purportedly showing an armed confrontation between Wagner PMC forces and the Russian Army.”

The following is outdated, especially considering the problems with the US Navy’s LCS ships, but I thought that the bold quote was interesting. I highly doubt that Russia would ever submit to the US!

In short, Russia would not only be China’s best hope of overcoming an American blockade, but it would also be the United States’ key to closing China’s transit route through Central Asia and preventing China’s two neighboring oil producers from supplying it with petroleum. In an American blockade of China, Russia’s importance as a swing state cannot be overstated, as is borne out by the observation that “no blockade of China in history has succeeded without Russian acquiescence.”

Ms. Cat

The Pentagon claims it overestimated the value of weapons it sent to Ukraine

Pentagon Says ‘Accounting Error’ Provides Extra $6.2 Billion in Ukraine Military Aid

So how much are US taxpayers on the hook for?! They’re depreciating weapons supplied to Ukraine, from stockpiles, but replenishing them will cost more! Not to mention, military contractors are price gouging!

The vast majority of these Congress members, who want to stop arming Ukraine, only want war with China (or Cuba or Mexico)!
