I am a "regular" flyer and a stoner and I never fail to bring with me a sample of devil's lettuce when I'm leaving for extended period of time and never once I've had any issue bringing my hazardous material with me.

One time I even embarked with a small firework in my wallet I forgot I placed there after a party and none bat an eye.

Security level: top (not gun)

Gonna watch the vid while doing my chores but I really don't understand this take about idiocracy and eugenetics I've already encountered in the past. Idiocracy it's not a movie about eugenetics, it has more to do with overthinking your life choices and avoiding the responsibilities of being a parent due to a lack of confidence in oneself while other people less prone to thinking in general go on with their lives leaving offsprings around without a care in the world.

The movies never state these people lacking the ability to think about the future should be barred from breeding, if anything its message is for the other side of society and it states "quit being worried about the future all the time and start following your instincts a bit more". In medium stat virtus as the old saying goes.

Anyway I'll be back with a more in depth commentary about the video once done with it. See ya

It Will get better IF after the 2024 elections the GOP will be left with a minority in both the houses, Congress and senate. At that point it will be only on the democrats to pass legislations, notwithstanding eventual characters like Sinema and Manchin.

You seem to equate a family not having a body with not having news of that soldier. But Ukraine has been collecting and identifying Russian bodies since the start of the war, and notifying families wherever possible. Many of the soldiers also have their own phones, and those phones have told the west a great deal about what is really going on behind Russian lines. Yet you seem sure that none of those soldiers would use their phones to speak of deaths within the unit. Interesting take.

You seem to forget that, following the bombing caused by a massive presence of phone signals in a single spot, Russia has been much more careful in letting its trooper use their cellphones. Beside that I imagine a family not having any news from his relatives at the front would be anxious for their loved ones and would start asking questions, even if it meant facing criminal charges. Ukraine can identify a portion of the bodies from the battlefield I imagine, and they would be able to reach the families of an even small percentage I reckon.

LOL. Think that over a bit and get back to me. Seriously.

I've thought about it and I really can't see who can pay Wagner's operators salaries, let alone arming them according to their standards (much better than the Russian army ones, can we agree on that?).

As far as I know Russia pays its soldiers 300-400€ a month and Wagner mercenaries are paid circa 2k (those who are not serving instead of being in a cell). Prigozhin was capable of providing for Wagner through his affairs in Africa and through the money he got from the Kremlin, will Putin be able to substitute such an income? What will happen if not? I've got my answers but they are just hypotheticals, who will live will see.

True enough. But that does not make either of us an expert on Russian affairs. His article does make one of us a fantasy writer, though.

He certainly knows Wagner better than you since he probably met them on the battlefield.

Works for me, lol. It's just an opinion, and everyone's got one.

But it helps, when forming an opinion, to acquaint oneself with all available fact first. And to be completely honest, you didn't even spot the most questionable opinion in my post. (Hint: Who is Sergei Shoigu?) But keep working on it, because as far as I'm concerned the more people that are interested in the subject as whole, whether right or wrong, the better.

Thank you for taking the time to state your disagreement.

No problems, it's a pleasure to have a conversation about these thematics since there is always to learn about any subject. In this sense, who is Sergei Shoigu? What I know about him is that he is a Putin sycophant only good as a yes man and coming from a political career scarcely linked to any military activity. Am I missing any information about the man?

Prighozin was funding much of Wagner himself, for example.

So, who is going to pay now that he's dead?

And that Russia's young men are not coming home in boxes because they are just not coming home (Russia doesn't want the bodies so as to avoid paying death benefits to families)

I imagine these families will be happier and happier each day that goes by without having any information about their loved ones.

But honestly, the biggest head scratcher here is the plain fact that mercenaries "to dispose of Putin" have been available forever

But if Prigozhin was paying their fees and keeping them in check with his control structure how could they have been available to change their masters?

I see your reply to the article as you see the article itself: full of speculations and assumptions but the main difference between the OP post and yours is that you are a nobody giving his opinion on the internet while the author of OP post was assistant director intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for the HQ Land Command.

Given the status I'm more inclined to listen to his speculations rather than yours, respectfully
