As if Putin didn’t have enough trouble holding his seat of power now his paid mercenary group has risen up against him.

Earlier this weekend the Wagner Group, who are a paid military group, rose up and took over the Russian staging area for their Ukraine offensive. The group claimed that Putin staged an attack on the group killing and injuring fighters.

I find this amusing considering that the invasion of Ukraine was according to Putin only going to take day to accomplish and now the Russians are getting their asses handed to them by the Ukrainian forces after over a year of fighting.

According to Trump if he were in power the conflict would never have happened because Putin was afraid of him. That’s amusing because Putin in a sociopath and has zero compunction about murdering anyone that gets in his way, Trump on the other hand is a narcissist that has never been in a physical fight in this life. I am sure that there probably would not have been a conflict because Trump would have rolled over to Putin and refused to support Ukraine in any way. He would have probably tried to perpetuate Putin’s lies to the American public and throw our military behind Russia. I don’t think he would have been successful but as Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces he could have potentially ordered his generals to strike Ukraine. This may have concluded with the military rising up against a sitting President or at least the huge fracture in out Armed Forces and weakening our standing on the world stage.

Remember Trump wanted to pull the U.S. out of NATO on the ruse that we pay to much and smaller NATO countries need to step up if they want the Americans to protect them. It always comes down to money with Donald.

I am happy that Biden is in office and sincerely hope that the Ukrainian conflict is over soon. Two pluses would be if Putin were to be removed from power in Russia and Trump ended up in federal prison. I can dream.

Thanks again for indulging me.
