    What a load of bollox that is, Russia now saying Prigozhin still under investigation and there's still no evidence he's in Belarus. Imo the idea that Wagner will attack Ukraine from Belarus is nonsense, Putin wants them disbanded, not a full blown army operating out of Belarus.

    The trouble is sinkov, only Ben Wallace has any idea what's really going on and he's not telling.

    I doubt Ben Wallace has any idea what's going on. I'm not sure even Putin has.

    I've been reading up on the historical context of this conflict. I gave up trying to understand when I eventually got to page 457.

    I remember writing on here about 500 days ago even Putin would not be daft enough to attempt to invade Ukraine.

    Sounds ominous "When Yevgeny Prigozhin left Rostov late on Saturday night it was understood that he had been granted amnesty in Belarus in exchange for calling off his attempted coup. But since then, he has not been seen publicly and his current whereabouts are unknown. Now, Russian state media is reporting that, contrary to reports, the criminal case against him was not dropped and remains very much live".

    He's surely not daft enough to sit in Belarus waiting to be bumped off. Who knows where he is, but I doubt we've heard the last of him just yet.

    Professor Jeffery Sachs on uTube provides a very concise and informative history to this conflict starting in 1999 when Gorbachev agreed to dismantle the Warsaw pact and withdraw from Germany. He was assured by James Baker US foreign secretary I believe, that NATO "would not move one inch further East". Sachs was an advisor to Gorbachev and the first president of the Ukraine.

    If you go back to the origins of the conflict, it's hard not to conclude that the USA wanted this war.
