Prigozhin is one of the people vying to replace Putin.
Wonder if this made its way public to undermine him.

Well at least they are upfront about the consequences of not fighting.
Just reported that Zelensky was in a automobile accident in the last 24 hours.
Apparently returning from the battlefield when the car he was in was hit by another.
No serious injuries and he rendered aid to his driver.

World must be ready for Russia’s disintegration, US general says
The international community must prepare for the potential disintegration of Russia, Lieutenant General (Retired) Ben Hodges, former commander of United States Army Europe, wrote in an article for UK newspaper The Telegraph on Sept. 13.
Other tweets describe these as amphibious.

Mystery from yesterday may have been solved.
HIMARS rockets have been a 'game changer' in Ukraine, and the US Army is now looking for ways to build up to 500 more
A recent US Army request for information lays out a five-year manufacturing schedule that could nearly double the world's supply of HIMARS.

Team Putin Threatens Maniacal Response to Bitter War Losses

Is a world with "more HIMARS" safer?
It depends on who is using them.
The only answer here is clearly more and worse sanctions

Let Russia figure out how to build it's own shit. Cancel Russian visas in Western nations and let them live in the 2nd-3rd world countries.
The dingo ate Russia's baby.
The Zelensky car accident freaked me out
Not going to lie.
Not going to lie.
Is there some specific gripe you have? The Ukraine war has made clear that an effective force needs weapons with varying ranges. If you have a hole in that range, you can get wiped the f*ck out. See Russia's grinding down of Ukrainian forces before the introduction of HIMARS. Our government has been very judicious and apparently very effective in doling out what was required to accomplish this. Is there some concern you have Ukraine will be selling them off?
THREAD UNROLL:
It may be worth saying something out loud here.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is obviously the greatest international security crisis since 9/11.
And, at this point, it’s got to be said that Joe Biden and his team have handled it masterfully. 1/
From forging (mostly behind the scenes) a united NATO diplomatic front against Moscow, one that has not cracked;
to the wrecking of the Russian economy, a process still in its early stages, which includes supporting European efforts to find alternative sources of energy; 2/
to the clear red line drawn at the Ukrainian border that has kept the US and NATO out of any fighting , and so far given Vladimir Putin no excuse to widen the war;
to the steady flow of US intelligence to Ukrainian forces, supporting their stunning achievements in the field; 3/
to the gigantic amount of arms and aid the US government has supplied directly to Ukraine, which is now proving decisive in the rout of Russian forces in Kharkiv, and changed the dynamic across the country—Joe Biden has, at this point, aced this test of his leadership. 4/
Of course, that is largely thanks to the amazing skill, resourcefulness and courage of the Ukrainian forces. But Biden has put the might of the USA behind them every step of the way. 5/
It wasn’t easy. Here at home, there have been plenty of nationalist naysayers all along the way—Donald Trump and many of his followers, from Tucker Carlson to Marjorie Taylor-Greene to J.D. Vance and a horde of online armchair strategists and right-wing media types. 6/
They’ve praised Russia, blamed NATO, and predicted doom and defeat for Ukraine from the start. They’ve been exposed time and again as ill-informed at best, Putin stooges at worst. 7/
Polls suggest that Biden has not earned much goodwill from the American public for his statesmanship on Ukraine. He’s in a deep hole with voters on so many issues, geostrategy is unlikely to help him much. 8/
But the long-term, follow-on effects from American leadership of the effort to support Ukraine and punish Russia for this war are likely to be profound.
China will think twice about seizing Taiwan. 9/
NATO is expanded. Old strategic bonds with the US are strengthened. Europe will accelerate its decoupling from Russian energy. 10/
Putin’s brand of illiberal nationalism—which has been so seductive in so many countries to those who see liberal democracy as an outdated, weak and soulless model of governance—has been shown as a con, a cheap costume donned by the thieves and gangsters in the Kremlin. 11/
Even the neo-fascism of the “Z” movement that Putin has sponsored in Russia is looking more farcical than threatening (unless you’re Russian, of course.) 12/
And, most important, the United States looks different in the world. Because of Biden’s leadership, especially coming on the heels of the Trump disruption, Europeans and others have been reminded of the good America can do, given skillful American leadership. 13/
We may no longer be “the indispensable nation,” as Madeleine Albright said (truth is, we never were). But Joe Biden has shown again that American power and American values can be a difference-maker in the long struggle for freedom.
That’s a big f***ing deal.

I think that would force a much larger coalition to the war, which Russia does not want.
