I don't expect that this person will spend too many years in prison.

The first hint of trying to find an exit plan that allows Putin to save face?

Interesting times.
Streets must be kept clean even in a coup
Love this take on proceedings.

Wagner forces are now reportedly in the Moscow region. Hilarious that Putin's plan for Kyiv is now being successfully executed on Moscow instead.
Unfortunately I'll be on a boat in the ocean tomorrow with no signal or internet, but I eagerly await hearing the tales of hilarity coming out of Russia.
In the mean time remember this important rule, "The dildo of consequences rarely arrive lubed."

Prigozhin seems to have lost the will to live. Whoever is a rival of Putin and then humiliates him survives to tell the tale?

I suppose it's what you do with the photos or what you take pictures of.
The prosecutor general’s office said an employee at a local gas transportation company helped Moscow target the restaurant by filming cars with military licence plates in its parking lot and sending the footage to Russian special services.

I was thinking more of the cases where British tourists have been arrested in, say, Cyprus because they didn't know the fence they were snapping the family by was the limits of a military airfield, or plane spotters got arrested for doing what they do.
But these days there is also the danger of sharing what seems an innocent photo to you, but once it is on social media then it can be looked at by anyone. |  |

The death of Victoria Amelina reminds me of the extrajudicial killing of Marie Colvin. Yes, the records say it was Syrian forces who launched the attack but the military intelligence and probably the firepower right down to training and operatives was Russian. You have to wonder whether the Kramatorsk missile attack was also carried out with the sole purpose of eliminating a powerful writer who was speaking truth to power:

Here is a tale of Ukrainian dastardliness thanks to unbiased Steve.
Should those windows not be white?
Those evil Ukranians
OH WAIT, MAYBE NOT.

The states to send cluster munitions to Ukraine … this is a tricky one. |  |

Very much so, and the way land mines are used:
https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/06/30/ukraine-promises-inquiry-banned-landmine-use
Not much doubt that Russian forces, especially Wagner, are worse but should Ukraine use cluster munitions and misplaced land mines at all ? Is the tactical advantage wiped out by the loss of international support ? | |

The hypocrisy of the Russian administration is indeed striking in this matter:
'Russia's ambassador to the US criticised Mr Biden's decision.
"The cruelty and cynicism with which Washington has approached the issue of transferring lethal weapons to Kyiv is striking," Anatoly Antonov was quoted as saying by Tass news agency.
"Now, by the fault of the US, there will be a risk for many years that innocent civilians will be blown up by submunitions that have failed."'
From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66140460
No mention there that Russian forces are also using cluster bombs. And the Human Rights Watch report on land mines did note that Ukraine is making efforts to discontinue their use when it poses a significant risk to civilians. But all the problems of an escalated war remain, we all know that once this is over there are going to be people walking the street of Eastern Europe on crutches or less obviously with prosthetics fitted, and some of those will be children. | |

If the children weren't stolen and deported to Russia of course.
If we'd given Ukraine air superiority we likely be in the position of the Americans weighing up cluster bombs. |  |

How far back would we have had to planned providing Ukraine with fighter aircraft ? Unless you think we should have sent the RAF in, which brings us back to escalation. Containing the mess is not easy, new move announced by Poland today:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66139757
'Ahead of this week's Nato summit in Lithuania, the Polish government has been warning that Wagner forces could be used to spark more trouble, so it's deploying hundreds of extra officers at its eastern border as reinforcements...Even if Wagner do eventually arrive in Belarus, Poland's worries and warnings may be motivated as much by domestic politics as security fears.
"They are nothing the border guard can't deal with, no match for what we have," argues Piotr Lukasiewicz, of the Polish political analysis group Polityka Insight.
"But as a political tool it can be quite useful to sell [Wagner] as a great danger," he adds. "We'll see how it develops," he says, but he thinks the government is "crying wolf" to boost its own security credentials ahead of elections this autumn.' | |
