George Clooney.Seen this movie, hadn't we, now that nukes are potentially in play?
Denzel saves the day.
2023 was getting a bit stale if all the attention on a little sub was anything to go by. I still remember my dad telling me the 60/70s were the craziest time in the world compared to today. This was before Covid and Trump. He hasn't said it since.Apart from the invasion itself this is the most mental development so far.
I used to think like that until the Ukraine war. Thought whoever manages to rid Russia of Putin would be worse.I mean yea, Putin is a cnut but he kept the other cnuts in line. With the boss gone, the struggle for power within a nuclear state could have dire consequences.
I don't think the war mongering mercenary leading a private army has any intention to pull out of Ukraine either, if anything after assuming power he would up the nationalistic rhetoric to gain support, ending the invasion would make him look weak.
The only hope for Ukraine is the coup turns into a protracted civil war draining all resources.
I think @calodo2003 is referring to Crimson Tide, with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.
I dunno using banana republics as an example its just seems a mental corrupt dictator is replaced by an even more mental hot dog salesman. Its a major morale boost for Ukraine atm but im not getting giddy(well a bit) about how this will turn out.I used to think like that until the Ukraine war. Thought whoever manages to rid Russia of Putin would be worse.
Having seen the pictures of Mariupol and so many other Ukranian cities changed my mind.
,Pulling Stallone into this is risky
Hackman & Denzel had to deal with the breakaway separatists who gained the nuclear codes for the ballistic missiles, Clooney et al had to deal with a suitcase nuke.
Nice flick that one.I think @calodo2003 is referring to Crimson Tide, with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.
Upon rumination, both movies can work.I think @calodo2003 is referring to Crimson Tide, with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.
Ah, good call.I think @calodo2003 is referring to Crimson Tide, with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman.

Remember when some Cafites were convinced these guys were the best of the best, the elite of Russian forces, maybe the best thing since sliced bread and the Navy Seals?Kadyrov's tiktok army probably faked mechanical problems to create a traffic jam, so they don't have to advance on Rostov for now

Hold on, this lad is just a cook?Prigozhin, a former cook of Putin, decided to take power in Russia. He leads a mercenary group called "Wagner" that fought in Ukraine since the start of the war. Putin gave Prigozhin free reign to equip his Wagners with military equipment and men. But after some time, the Kremlin and Russian MoD decided Wagner became too strong and dangerous and forced them so sign a contract which would subordinate them to Russian MoD and thus end their independence. But Prigozhin doesn't want to give up his new power and go back to cooking, so he played his last card and started a rebellion in Russia to overthrow Putin's regime.
Officially, he wants to stop the lies and corruption of the Russian MoD. Unofficially, he just loves power and doesn't want to lose it.Has the mercenary captain made any kind of pitch for why folks should want his lot to succeed, or is he not bothering with that stuff?

Yeah. He was in prison for child prostitution, then took over a restaurant that was a meeting point for Moscow's high society. This way he met Putin and his friendship gave him the opportunity to open restaurants all over the country, as well as cater for the whole Russian army. He made billions and with that money, he created Wagner.Hold on, this lad is just a cook?
