That boy will grow up with a singular hatred of Russia and Russians. You don’t ever undo that. Hell, if it was me, I’d grow up with a singular mission of killing Russians, wherever they are, regardless of the outcome of the war. Treaty or no treaty. 20 years from now, I’d want to kill them.
Multiply that by thousands upon thousands. Russia is going to have a problem on its hands for a generation to come.

The craziest thing I learned today is that Prighozin owned a catering company prior to starting Wagner. Like as recently as 2010.

Prigozhin made his fortune not really catering, but fulfilling food contracts for the Russian MoD, schools, and other government entities. He was in the restaurant business in the 1990s too. His “catering” company wasn’t really like an event firm. That’s why they called him Putin’s chef.

Every few weeks or so I'll see an officer in Futures Command. Any one of those guys could keep this board entertained for weeks. Unfortunately, I don't know what is secret vs. common knowledge so I keep it to myself. Plus, I don't ever get into specifics but keep it topical such as the future of tanks in modern warfare.

I should ask about cheap, mass produced drones. Because it does seem like that is something we are going to need to do or at least something we need to combat. And it does seem somewhat curious to me that drones could accompany stealth fighters and stealth helicopters. It seems to somewhat defeat the purpose of stealth if you increase the footprint or create multiple footprints in the sky. I imagine though that the drones would be somewhat distant from the plane so while there would be lots of things in the sky, it would be hard to get a radar lock to hit any individual drone.

And I imagine the Navy is going to have to totally re-imagine things. They are going to have to stay far away from shore. And carriers might be better off carrying a large number of smaller drones with smart bombs, missiles, and torpedoes rather than large planes with fighter pilots. Using planes as hubs and drones as the combatants is an interesting twist. It would totally change the type of planes and drones needed.

They are already flying

That's how he made his wealth and got into the halls of power in Russia. Government catering contracts. The PMC stuff started after that. Because obviously your cater is the best person to put in charge of a private military you need for deniability reasons. 

More accurate to say that the halls of power got him into the (crazily successful) food supply business. He was a bit player in the world of 1990s St. Petersburg where Putin was a city official, but he got enough of a start there to get dragged along when Putin made the big jump and started surrounding himself with the old Petersburg crew and it paid off big for Prigozhin for a while.

It's a bit more complex than that, and part of it includes understanding the euphamistic nature of language in Russia.  He was actually a small time convict, petty theft, etc that got caught and spent time in prison all the way back in the 70s and 80s.  Once he got out he opened a hot dog stand in St Pete, which is part of the whole chef thing circles back to.  However, he wasn't selling hot dogs, the was his laundering operation; he was a drug dealer.  Basically, he went from being sort of a small time gangster, went in the joint and came out with new skills.  Of course all this was around the time of the collapse, so then it really became the wild west.  Anyway, he went from the hot dog stand to being other business, usually in dinning and food services, in order to launder his growing enterprise.

At this point, he meets Putin, during a deal which was intended to relieve starvation in St. Petersburg, for $90 million USD, he and Putin orchestrated a fraud together to bilk this thru his food services companies.  Important to remember this part, both of these fucking guys grew up there and had ties to the community, but instead of providing the food they should have to their own community, they just stole it and said screw them.   Shortly thereafter, and if ever there is anything that sort of summarizes Russia, Putin gets elevated to Yelstin's second fiddle and the rest is history.  

The Putin's Chef thing refers to two things.  1.  Which is obvious is the food services, food contracts, and dining aspect.  2.  The other is actually referring to his ability to launder money thru said food enterprises.  

At the end of the day, Prigozhin was just a thug and a murderer.  A generally awful human being.  Fuck him.

best steven seagal movie is air force 1. 

Leguizamo's character in The Menu is inspired by Seagal. Apparently Seagal was such a dick during the production of Executive Decision they killed off his character early and had Leguizamo's character fill in for Seagal. According to Leguizamo, Seagal is a very shitty person which I believe. So he used Seagal as inspiration for his Menu character which is a washed-up has been former movie star.

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has posted a video of two Russian helicopters and a warplane chasing a Ukrainian drone in temporarily occupied Crimea. DIU reports that the video features a Ukrainian UAV flying near Cape Tarkhankut. Two combat helicopters and one aircraft are pursuing it at once. Quote: "Our drone left the battlefield unharmed and safely made it back to base despite the continuous fire. DIU UAVs are increasingly getting away unscathed not only after facing Ruscist [Russian] air defence but also in direct clashes with enemy aircraft."

Details: DIU states that the UAV operator commented on the situation as follows: "What a bunch of clumsy losers...".

That chopper seems kinda close....seems like Ukraine could send up a few decoy drones, let them get "chased," and then whip them around to zip over to the chopper and blow up sending a bunch of schrapnel into the chopper.

"I've met lots of these stars like that, maybe before they were washed up," he says. "I mean, now they're washed-up. I kind of based mine on Steven Seagal. I had a bad run-in with him. We did a movie together. It was Executive Decision. He's kind of a horrible human."

https://ew.com/movies/john-leguizamo-steven-seagal-the-menu-interview/

Quote

I was doing this thing called Executive Decision and I was supposed to play the sergeant to his captain. The first day of rehearsal, there was the director [Stuart Baird], Joe Morton, B.D. Wong, Oliver Platt—we’re all big actors, we’re all big boys, we’re all experienced. And we start rehearsing and he came in and was like, [low, breathy voice] “I’m in command. What I say is law.” So I started, like, [snorts]. I mean, who the fuck talks like that? Who comes into rehearsal and says that shit? So I started laughing and he slammed me with an aikido elbow against a brick wall and knocked all the air out of me. I dropped to the ground, and all I could say was, [gasping] “Why? Why?” I really wanted to say that he runs like a bitch and has no hair, but I was afraid. [Laughs.] So on the days when we shot the scene where he died, I showed up so early. I wanted to see him die. It was like a fantasy.

Geez, "What happened to Seagal" is one heck of a rabbit hole.

https://www.looper.com/22997/whatever-happened-steven-seagal/

Quote

In 2009, Seagal's side gig became the basis for a reality show on A&E called "Steven Seagal: Lawman." ... Sadly, Seagal reportedly resigned from the force after he found himself the subject of an internal affairs investigation that, according to the Phoenix New Times, sought to uncover the truth about "allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault." 

Quote

In October 2017, "Inside Edition" correspondent Lisa Guerrero told The Hollywood Reporter about a 1996 audition for Seagal's "Fire Down Below," after which she said he summoned her to his home for a "private rehearsal." She declined, and the lead role she said she was promised went to another actor. Television personality Jenny McCarthy also spoke out, saying Seagal demanded she take off her dress during an audition for "Under Siege 2." 

Several more allegations later...

Quote

It quickly became apparent that simply directing a publicist to deny alleged assaults wouldn't be enough, and Seagal went on the offensive, using an appearance on right-wing fringe conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars network to claim he was the victim of a vast, well-funded conspiracy.  Read More: https://www.looper.com/22997/whatever-happened-steven-seagal/

He's had opportunities for a comeback.

Quote

Sylvester Stallone's 2010 hit "The Expendables" showed that there was still a big audience out there for '80s-style action movies, as well as '80s-style action heroes. ... Stallone reportedly offered Seagal a spot in the ensemble, but he turned it down. The reason: Seagal hates one of the movie's producers, Avi Lerner, with whom he worked on several of his direct-to-video features. 

Hey, look, we've come around to being on topic again:

Quote

...[Seagal] also came out in support of Putin's controversial intervention in Crimea. That got him dropped from a gig performing at a blues festival in Estonia. After Putin personally granted Seagal a Russian passport in 2016, the actor was banned from entering the Ukraine.... 

oh good Lord, this is getting comically evil

Quote

But while getting served with papers over sexual misdeeds is sadly not that uncommon in the world of showbusiness, what's less common is getting sued for puppy murder. But as with so many things in life, here Steven Seagal once again breaks the mold.  

Good Lord...:

Quote

According to Julia Sweeney, Seagal wanted to perform a sketch where he played a therapist who wants to sleep with a rape survivor.

I've left a TON of things out, and that's just the Looper article.

Damn, what a shithead.
