    I suppose this is related to the Ukraine War, but I'm reading lots of activity on Twitter about Prigozhin mobilizing troops in RUSSIA. I believe @Mik commented that he's blaming the war on Shoigu's misinformation and Putin is being kept in the dark.

    I've even heard the words "Civil War" mentioned.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        The Ukraine invasion will be studied for decades, if only as a cautionary tale.

              After those comments? I'd say that's a safe assumption.

              He should stay away from windows....

                  He couldn't win with them, can't imagine without.

                  One wonders if there were perhaps any incentives from the west. Or he could have tired of seeing young Russians slaughtered with no reasonable chance of success.

                                    The funny thing is some people actually think that is a possible scenario.

                                        I wasn't laughing at the possibility of a civil war, but at the idea that the main reason for it was domestic US political soap opera concerns
