Doubt very much Bin Laden was killed, to be perfectly honest.

It was a rouse the whole way, from 9/11 on
They say Bin Laden is ALIVE somewhere ?

Can we really TRUST Anybody or Anything ?

Col. Douglas Macgregor Says What's Coming Next in Ukraine is 'Very Serious'

"Russian intelligence has always known where everything is you cannot hide from this overhead surveillance. They've got the equivalent to the National Security Agency and the equivalent of the CIA. They can see everything and hear everything. So now they can systematically go after all of these headquarters filled with the so-called decision makers. I think that's just the beginning."

Meanwhile Zelensky and his associates steal millions upon millions of dollars sent to them so they can
live in the lap of luxury while their people die fighting a fake war by him.

Why don't the Ukrainians take care of Zelensky and his crew
Turn around and head to Kyiv, take the whole lot of them out and take their country back
Can they be that stupid to see what is really going on?

Oh, you mean, they should be SMART like a fucking moron who roots for a murderous dictator invading another country?

That would be YOU, in case the reference went over your thick skull

Re: the following, as soon as I heard that that sawed off runt Putin called the mercenary a traitor (no irony THERE at all, right?) but also said that he wouldn't be charged, I thought, THAT doesn't sound like Mr. "Make-it-look-like-an-accident," and sure enough, he's as big a welch as LENBO the DUMBO, Glazed PIGGY, and Blubber Boy himself:

Russian prosecutor rescinds offer of Amnesty for Prigozhin


 Prime Minister Vladimir Putin looked over the factory's production chain and was shown new vending machines that accept cards. The factory's director, Yevgeny Prigozhin, remarked that they are produced by companies that previously manufactured slot machines. 'They have been retrofitted,' Prime Minister Putin said. 'It's very good and useful.'  2010-09-20

From the Daily Beast:

Prigozhin Just Got Double-Crossed by Duplicitous Putin

On Saturday night, with his heavily armed mercenaries closing in on Moscow, Yevgeny Prigozhin abruptly announced that he was shutting down his insurrection after a negotiated settlement that would allow him to walk away peacefully.
Just two days later, the Russian authorities leaked word that the agreement was already toast.


On Monday, a new audio recording of Prigozhin was released by his press service saying that Lukashenko had brokered a deal to keep his Wagner Group in business.

He made no reference to the supposed deal to keep himself or his comrades out of prison.
A few hours earlier, signs first emerged that the deal may not have been struck in good faith. The Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported that the criminal case against Prigozhin had not—in fact—been dropped. The official state news agency, TASS, soon confirmed that the investigation into the mutiny that humiliated President Vladimir Putin was ongoing.
A Prosecutor General’s Office source was quoted as saying: “The criminal case against Prigozhin did not stop. The investigation continues.”
Prigozhin could face 20 years behind bars.
His location is currently unknown and he has not been seen in public since driving off the Russian military base in a civilian car.
The talking heads on Russian TV seemed to be horrified that Prigozhin wasn’t to be punished.


No doubt Putin realized how weak this amnesty would make him appear, and he pulled the rug out from under Prigozhin to shore up his rapidly eroding authority.
How will the Wagner forces react? The are extremely loyal to Prigozhin. I doubt that they’ve disbanded yet. Will some of them face legal sanctions as well?
The ABC and NBC Evening News report Prigozhin’s whereabouts are still unknown.

Biden's CIA is having buyer's remorse as it seeks revenge against Wagner after Prigozhin played the US intel community. The DOJ is targeting the US gold firms the CIA used to funnel payments to the mercenaries in exchange for the fake coup.

Zelenskyy says Russian ‘Alligator’ Attack Helicopters are choking what little Ukrainian counteroffensive there is . Of course his main conclusion is that it’s urgent for the U.S. to supply Ukraine with $20 million dollar Apache helicopters and train pilots for them and the F-16s he’s getting. Zelensky acts as if piloting a fighter jet or an attack helicopter is like riding a bicycle.

Huge Bump in US Support for Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelenskyy presents to the Shangri-La Dialogue wearing a shirt designed by a Singaporean girl. The shirt image is an NFT that will help support Ukraine.

Well I guess Yevgeny Prigozhin did Ukraine a solid (in his own special way). Here is a new Reuters poll showing a bump in the polls for supporting Ukraine.

Most Americans support US arming Ukraine, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows




00:00 / 00:00










And I mean like a 20 point bump.
WASHINGTON, June 28 (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.
And it’s majorities across the board
Eighty-one percent of Democrats, 56% of Republicans and 57% of independents favor supplying U.S. weapons to Ukraine, according to the latest poll.
The survey was conducted just days after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the private Wagner mercenary company, launched and then called off a mutiny over what he charged was the Russian defense ministry's mishandling of the war in Ukraine.
You know you just have to soak it all in that Biden took the role of the strong confident leader while Putin ran away to St. Petersburg.
The findings appeared to provide firmer backing for U.S. President Joe Biden's policy of doing "whatever it takes" to assist Ukraine in recapturing territory that Russia seized in an initial assault in 2014 and its full-scale invasion 16 months ago.
"This definitely reinforces Biden's decision to be all-in on this," said William Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine now with the U.S. Institute of Peace.

Former U.S. Ambassador To Russia Says 'We're Witnessing The Final Saga' Of Putin :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :hung::hung::hung::highfive::highfive::highfive::arrowhead:arrowhead:arrowhead

A former U.S. ambassador to Russia on Tuesday said we are witnessing “the final saga” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In an interview with CNN, Jon Huntsman, who served in the post for two years during the Trump administration, said the armed mutiny launched by Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday embarrassed the Russian leader.
“Putin has been humiliated,” Huntsman said. “That’s not happened many times in his career. So we’re not going to know in the days and weeks and even the months ahead what the likely outcome for Vladimir Putin will be.”
“He still controls the state. He controls the security apparatus. He’s got more bombs and guns than anybody else. But I’m here to tell you I think we’re witnessing the final saga of Vladimir Putin,” he added.

The former Utah GOP governor added that the deal the Kremlin struck with Prigozhin, brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, exposed the Russian system’s hypocrisy.
While many Russians are behind bars for minor offenses, Prigozhin, who “probably represented the greatest existential threat to Putin and the Russian state,” is allowed to go free, explained Huntsman, who ran for president in the 2012 election.
The uprising, which lasted less than 24 hours, saw Prigozhin’s forces taking control of the Russian military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don. His mercenaries later advanced toward Moscow before pulling back after the Kremlin agreed to send Prigozhin to Belarus without charges for him and his soldiers.
Russian authorities confirmed they will not pursue mutiny charges against Prigozhin and his forces, according to The Associated Press.
The next challenge for the U.S. will be to prepare for a post-Putin Russia, when it’s extremely hard to tell who could come next, Huntsman said.
“There’s no bench in politics in Russia,” he added.
