Ron Wagner + 710 March 12, 2022 As Anti-War Russians Flee, Ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan Prepares for Emigre Influx By Felix Light Updated: 18 hours ago BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan - When Kirill Shamiev’s friends started talking about martial law, he realized it was time to leave Russia. A week into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Shamiev — a 26-year-old Ph.D. student from St. Petersburg who works as a policy consultant for European companies — began to worry he himself might be mobilized, or simply be trapped in Russia.

His whole family has been involved in corruption, Obama, Hillary, the squad are all corrupt in my opinion. Still they are not as bad as Putin with his oligarchs, or XI and the CCP. Add in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. There is a big difference in how far they will go with their evil deeds. If our Demoncrats were all powerful they would be tempted to totally ignore our constitution and bill of rights. Our elites are no better than our politicians. The same is true around the world. Nothing about Trumps obvious support of Putin? You turn a blind eye to that don't you? "But, But Hillary..."

Ron Wagner + 710 March 14, 2022 Russia Confirms First Loss of GRU Spy in Ukraine Conflict By Jack Phillips March 14, 2022 Updated: March 14, 2022 biggersmaller Print Russia confirmed on Monday that it lost a top intelligence agent from the Russian military intelligence agency. Alexey Glushchak, a captain with Russia’s Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU), died in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol last week, said Russian officials in a statement. “Due to the strict secrecy of the military operation, the circumstances of the death of the Tyumen hero are not disclosed,” Russian officials said in a statement. Glushchak’s cause of death was not specified. Several local media outlets published photos of his funeral online. Ukrainian officials last week alleged that their forces recently killed a top Russian general, Vitaly Gerasimov, in fighting around Kharkiv. Ukraine’s military said that Gerasimov is a “Russian military commander, major general, chief of staff and first deputy commander of the 41st Army of the Central Military District of Russia” and added that he was a veteran in Russian campaigns in Syria and Chechnya.
