If only it were a "stab in his back". That would be an even better news story than this.

I always thought it was Mother Russia. I guess under Putin, it’s “The Fatherland.”

Remember Blackwater ? It's not too far flung to be concerned about mercenary forces on our soil.

Let's all remember that The Stable Genius's initial assessment of Putin's invasion of Ukraine was that it was a "genius" move. Is that guy ever wrong about anything!?

I will do everything to cling to power with my tiny hands

He probably paid them to do it. He needs a distraction from how poorly they're doing in Ukraine.

[steventrostle]

poor baby whining because they didn't follow his dictatorial desires. SOOOO Sorry

[ABCDEFGHIJK]

So all he has and can do is an angry TV speech? Wow, the Russian army is worse than amateurs.

[noampitlik]

He staged all this. And people falling for it.
