aha, so maybe Priggy does not get to go away quietly after all. Stripping a man of what he holds dear is the most cruel of punishments.

"shark-infested waters of Russian politics." indeed.

https://roloslavskiy.substack.com/cp/131194616 strong recommend that you listen to this, Mark. Some context required:

Slavskiy is a hardcore Russian nationalist with an almost nazi ideology. He's also a Marcionite gnostic who dunks on Jews and Christians all the time. But crucially, he's one of the very few alt media voices who is not only fluent in Russian, but is very plugged into the alt media ecosystem in Russia. His perspective is crucial for a well rounded POV on this subject.

"all of the funding the Wagner Group received came from the state." ..... "I do hope that no one stole anything in the process or, at least, did not steal a lot. It goes without saying that we will look into all of this.”

This would be a nasty surprise to Prigozhin in Belarus — Russian authorities are probing him on charges of financial irregularities by his corporate business house! "

Now all of our public servants in Washington, apart from Trump as President, are paid by the state. Our politicians are above reproach and would never profit by using their position to add to their wealth. We do not need to investigate, except for Trump.

Slight correction: ... except for Trump, who did not profit from his tenure in government.
