He’s gonna fall out of a window.
I was thinking radioactive underwear.
Texas at war 🇺🇲🙏😢
Not fall! Special Human Flying Testing for Top Secret Russian project!
Trust me he hasn’t gone on a second floor since the war started 😂😂😂😂
What’s wrong with Novichok?
Colonel Wagner Fester
Perfect! I knew he looked familiar, but I could not place him. Actually, I think Uncle Fester was better looking. ; )

Thanks for showing how the average liberal brain works. (Not well)
He will be honored by Putin in a great ceremony held in the highest hotel room they can find as his service will be pushed into eternity for all to remember
beautiful
They make good garden gnomes😂😂😂😅😅😅
@Wade Cartwright lol yesss definitely lol and bonus they would scare the crows away also lol 🤣🤣🤣
Any country with “soldiers” dressing as civilians has lost everything in the eyes of the civilized world😂😂😂
@RolfFarmedfacts supervisor-rebornTaliban: “Zindabad!” 😂👍🏾
Angry Elmer Fudd got his wish.
Snydly whiplashovich.
haha i was wondering who he reminded me of
They gave him more ammo. And surrounded his forces on the frontline so they cant retreat – wanger is getting used to the last man. And if there is no wagners in the future; putler solved one of the upcomming problems in advance…
He Styx😂😂 around there much longer he’s going to be the last man standing with garden gnomes all around him😅😅😅
I mean, you do sound confident… Must be true then, how’s the weather in Narnia this days?
@ChaosKing judging by your pp; u should know 😉
@ChaosKing funny jabs aside; if you want to know why I sound confident; I will elaborate if you give me one good argument for why you wanna know. No extremist arguments that kills all room for debate, but a well articulated argument for why you want to learn my reasons. If you can do that I’ll give you my sources, nicely chained in context. 10 minutes of my time for you👍🙂
Yesterday the Wagner leader was screaming and cursing now he’s going “nevermind”. Great theatrical performance!
Maybe he’s just realised that he doesn’t have a chose but to stay until the jobs done, or he and all his men are dead.
@Michael Illingworth If it isn’t some kind of ruse, then he forgot rule number 1.
“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master. Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear or insecurity.”
His best bet now for survival is to defect to us.
👍
The Wagnar leader looks like a classic comic book villain
That’s hilarious but you’re right😅😅😅😂😂😂
Mr. Freezovich.
that colonel looks funny too …his eye brows
It’s not Sideshow Bob, or Sideshow Mel, but it’s definitely a Sideshow. 🤡
Doctor Evil from Austin Powers.
You don’t fix logistics problems that big over night. Prigozhin found out the forces to his rear aren’t reinforcements, they’re enforcers. Kadyrov isn’t there to support or replace Wagner. He’s there to make sure that Wagner fights to it’s own extinction.
So very true.
You realize they have taken almost of that city right? The whole idea of that operation initially was to grind the Ukraine forces which was very successful.
@A BC not really, the Wagner/Russian losses are a multiple of Ukrainian losses so it can hardly be seen as successful. And to the rest of the world Russia looks weak and incompetent. I mean how can it take them 10-12 months and they still haven’t taken that town?
And they’ll be happy to do it as well.
Did anyone actually believe what prigozhin said and do? I thought I was watching WWE, every time I see performance from Russian officials btw.
I know! What a circus!
Prigozhin keeps making public threats and criticizing his masters and he may find himself getting admitted to hospital on the 8th floor with an open window.
Only if he’ll have nothing to show for all the theatrics and blackmailing he performed.
It’s quite the gambit he made and I’ll watch how it unfolds with quite the interest.
defenestration time 🇨🇿
I can’t wait for the spring offensive. It’s going to go terribly for Ruzzia 💕
Deranged irrational thinking of 1 dollar hotdog seller corrupted by greed and power. All of earths leaders need to tread carefully because its going to be a bloody miracle if we all don’t get engulfed in this unjustified war. All soldiers on both sides have been trained to fight, learned a new tactics , but it’s all of their families that have never been learned how to live without them💔
I knew Prigozhin reminded me of someone famous – i just realized it’s Nosferatu !
Yes you are correct. Although Klaus Kinski had sex appeal. And the Wagner murder just SUCKS.
@Tracy Power True! He seems like he is acting though, not a real soldier, just an idiot pretender
no…Elmer Fudd
So his check was basically pending longer then usual, he was about to quit his day job 😂
Pregozhin has eliminited islamic terrorist cells in Syria for the past decade. His wagner pmc is currently in S Africa. If you’ve been led to think that wagner is a joke, maybe you should question your sources.
Well if it is true that Wagner is getting the ammo someone else will not get what they need, at least i think so.
What happened to the universal caution
“loose lips sink ships”
axiom from our previous wars or conflicts?
I don’t remember this type of free wheeling speculation, especially by retired experts, really, our past command structure in previous conflicts.
I paid attention to that type of thing since the 1960s because people I knew and loved were in those conflicts and at risk. Young men from our small rural HS died in Vietnam. The younger generation of our family are in the military and potentially could be at risk any point in time.
Zip your lips!
The world better be watching. This could be a play. Putin better be careful also. What if these guys make a move on him. very useful information
I guess im out of touch but im still trying to understanding when W -A-G , like what a dog does with his tail when he’s happy started being pronounced as VARG like a German metal band…
Prigozhin couldn’t have been written any better as a James Bond villain.
Yeah he needs the slicing hat from Dr No!
Maybe that was his only chance to communicate without corrupt inbetweens.
