The notion that Putin’s reputation was damaged is really something the Western press made up and perpetuated. In Russia, it was more just seen as resolving a potential dispute in a traditional Russian fashion, though most people still think it was staged. I agree with them. I also believe it was an anti-Putin individual or group that killed Prigozhin. Putin had nothing to gain from killing him and if they truly had a dispute, killing Prigozhin risked a resumption of Wagner attacks. But it didn’t happen, because they knew Prigozhin and Putin were very close.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Yes, lots of insanity. But also the only place outside Telegram that shows Ukraine battle footage.

Fox is absolutely MSM. As much bullshit there as CNN, just a different slant. Except on Ukraine.
