Wow Joe Biden is doing a coup on Russia to hide his sons laptop controversy.

How can America do this


I did see a funny quote from competing forums. Just posting because it actually made me chuckle: "so wait the PMC Nazis are attacking the dystopian capitalist Nazis because they aren't hitting the neo liberal Nazis hard enough?"

Haven't seen any pics or videos of any heavy weapons protecting Moscow. Just cops, lightly armed troops and maybe some APCs.

That's not going to last very long against main battle tanks.

Well they have the single T-34 that was shown in the parade.

No, Kadyrov's got the best deal possible under Putin, he's de facto a sovereign prince who has all his whims fulfilled by Russia, which pays him a tribute in exchange for brutalizing the populace (which he enjoys). He doesn't have to run a country, he can just lounge around and torture people on Moscow's buck. The flip side of that is, there's plenty of Chechens who hate that he is Moscow's goon and a disgrace to his people, and who would be very happy to murder him if he ever fell out of grace.

If he's smart he'll offer the same deal. Kadyrov can keep his kingdom and won't need to commit anything.

The complete lack of reports of battle indicates he's either waiting to see who is the winner, or already got a deal made.


Kadyrov has to be bought off, and Wagnar would have known it and planned for it.

The thing is most people are going to accept the current status quo because they're unsure if the status quo is going to change. But once Wagner actually faces these people they are by themselves. Yeah they may be committing to Putin but Putin's not going to send the Jets to go and stop Wagner from shelling them.

I mean apparently the man left Russia already and from the look of the area where he is all the roads are blocked going into the town.

It looks like there's a wide open field to the right of that road. Couldn't Wagner trucks just go off road for a couple of feet, then get back on?

Orders were to tear up the road.

Orders obeyed.

Anything else, not our problem.

So when does Russia trigger Article 4 of the CSTO?

"Similar to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, Article 4 of the Collective Security Treaty (CST) establishes that an aggression against one signatory would be perceived as an aggression against all."

Russia hosed it when they didn't intervene to support Armenia last year. After that it was defunct in every way but on paper.
