Sledgehammer specifically - probably not.

But they knew perfectly well that he would be executed by Wagner for a treason.

Or do you think his son is that stupid when he blames Ukrainians for his father's death?

Remember what he said? “But they handed him over. They knew what would happen.”"

Are you trying to insinuate that Russians just randomly kill each other for the heck of it?

You can do better.
I wonder if Wagner was formally given extra-judicial rights to sadistically murder anyone they want?

Yes I do think the son is very stupid, and the Ukrainians very smart to let Russians kill each other.

As of this morning in Seattle or, late night in Ukraine, there is NO indication of any "bridgegap" established on the left Dniper bank. NONE. Even Ukraine sources denied it and called "injection" into the media field.
As of whatever his name is... Bakanov or something. Head of intelligence service.
Apparently, it goes towards the assassination of Darya Dugina. Aimed at her ftaher, ending in her death.Sources state that, that was very much so unwelcomed by the US. That guy personally sanctioned the terrorist act, bypassing Mr Z and not consulting with his counterpart from the security service. So now there outright war between the two institutions.

What Mr Z has to do with this? ANY acto of such nature is to be sanctioned by the president. There are protocols to follow.

Just another indication, how little real weight the guy has.

The longer the war lasts the more it favors a Ukrainian advantage.
Russia could have won the war during the first few weeks if they had been ready, but they blew it. From March, 2022 forward to this week the Russian army has gotten steadily worse while the Ukrainian army has gotten steadily better.



In the end Ukraine will be as well defended as Israel and Russia will have no chance of penetrating and occupying anything Ukraine chooses to defend.
Some day the fighting will stop, but there will never be a winner and a loser or a peace treaty. After it stops Russia will continue to shrivel and Ukraine will build back.

Let’s just clear this up: When the US sends weapons to Ukraine to beat Putin, we don’t just run out. We ramp up production & replenish our stockpiles. And who makes those weapons? Americans—all over the country, but many in Arkansas & Alabama. And they’re the best in the world.

I read there is a prize for landing(?) a drone on the Victory day parade, $500,000 to start, with crowdsourcing the prize is going up.

Russias big thing? Probably getting weapons made in other third world countries. To Irans credit those drones are pretty cost effective. And their shells don't need to be great quality as their CEP makes it more about shelling cities.


They've started hitting Russian ammo depots wherever they can Ive noticed. Things are about to get nasty.
Spot on.

Its similar to World War 1. In that war, the Central Powers - Germany, Austria-Hungry, Bulgaria and Turkey were able to block Russia 90% from off the Western Allies (Britain, France, Italy, Japan and later the USA). With only a trickle of allied supplies coming in from the Arctic ports, Russia was isolated and both her war effort and economy became so exhausted she faced two revolutions in 1917.

Now all the nations mentioned above, plus dozens more, are supporting Ukraine.
