Call it what you will; Choking the Chechen; Oiling your AK; Polishing the Potemkin; Beating the Boyar… whatever. The bottom line is that pornography-on-line is big business in Russia.
The below tweet sent out by the Ukrainian news site, Українська правда (Ukrainian Truth), is letting the world know that the Moscow-backed Wagner mercenary group is recruiting on PornHub.
Isn’t it Putin who’s always slamming us for being degenerates.
Anyhow, but as reported by the New York Post, they translate the actual message on the ad;
Russia’s Wagner mercenary group is so hard-pressed to replenish its ranks depleted by months of bloody battles in Ukraine that it has turned to Pornhub to recruit soldiers.
“Is always moose and squirrel.”
The private army, founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has placed a highly suggestive ad on the popular porn site, urging male viewers to stop pleasuring themselves and instead apply for a job at Wagner.
In the commercial, a blonde woman wearing red lipstick is seen twirling an oversized lollipop in her mouth, while a husky female voice purrs in the background: “we are the f–king coolest private army in the world.”
“We are recruiting fighters from all regions of Russia.
“Don’t whack off, go work for PMC Wagner.”
To be perfectly honest, I won’t slam Russia for scraping the bottom of the barrel.
After all the maximum age for joining the US Navy, US Air Force, US Space Force is a grand-parent friendly 39-years-old.
If you’re curious, here’s the maximum enlisted age for all the other military services;
US Army – 35
US Coast Guard – 31
US Marine Corps – 28

President Trump recently took to the America First with Sebastian Gorka radio program (video below) where he confidentially stated that he could end the Ukraine-Russia War within 24-hours.
No… really. Here’s what he said, word-for-word;
“I would have that war ended within 24 hours. That war would end within 24 hours.”
If there was ever a Trumpian statement, this would be it. But a statement and actuality are two very different things.
So, if and when President Trump gets re-elected in 2024, walking that tightrope would be a tall order.
But first things first. Did you notice that Pres. Trump never said that he’d ensure that Putin completely withdrawal from eastern Ukraine and the Crimea? He just said he’d bring the war to a halt.
Back to the main point.
How could Trump end this particular war? Please keep in mind there are a handful of absolutes that Trump would have to maneuver while tip-toeing through this particular minefield.
No American troops in Ukraine.
No American weapons platforms (nuclear subs, bombers and missiles) could be used against Russia and/or Russian troops.
No NATO troops in Ukraine.
No attacks against Russia or Russian troops could be launched from a NATO member state.
Keep in mind that in 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed, and in 1994, Ukraine actually had the third largest nuclear arsenal on the planet.
It was in ’94 that something called the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was signed by Bill Clinton, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, British Prime Minister John Major, and Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk.
Long story short, the Budapest Memorandum stated that the Americans, Russians, and British would guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up the hundreds of nuclear armed missiles still in-country when the USSR fell apart.
Just me, but I’m of the opinion that after Pres. Trump had some time to get all this chess pieces into place, he’d get on the phone with Vladdie letting him know that unless hostilities came to an immediate halt in place within the next 24-hours, then the United States would not interfere with the Kiev-government purchasing and deploying their own nuclear weapons.
Trump would maybe even tell Putin that the cost was already calculated and amazingly enough, that’s just how much money he was sending to Ukraine in tomorrow’s mail.
Face it… Zelenskyy wouldn’t have much of a problem snagging a nuke or two. Between Pakistan, India, and Israel, they’d be willing to sell if enough money was waved in their faces. And don’t be too quick to dismiss France as a possible seller. The French would sell a razor to a man ready to slit their own throats.
You never know… a few American nukes could somehow “accidentally” make their way to the black market.
Anyhow, I have no way of proving any of this, but I did ask myself, “What would be the most Trump thing Trump could do to screw with Vladimir Putin’s head?
Ensuring both the US and NATO have their hands clean, a few nukes aimed at Moscow and St. Petersburg would certainly be qualified as Trumpian.
Doubly so if Trump told Zelenskyy that the US money faucet has now been shut off. One exception… enough cash to buy a few nukes. Zelenskyy knows that without the billions-worth of American arms, it’s only a matter of time before Russian forces absolutely and totally crush everything Ukrainian.
Painting Putin AND Zelenskyy into a corner. How Trump.
I remember before I retired from the Marine Corps, two specific and significant instances during the regime of Bubba Clinton;
We had to literally ‘pass around the hat’ amongst the officers and senior enlisted to buy toilet paper for the troops who lived in the barracks. The DoD (Department of Defense) actually ran out of money to buy toilet paper for the troops.
When it came time for the annual pistol re-qual, battalion S-3 (Training) announced that any Marine who qualified as ‘expert’ last year didn’t have to re-qual this year. There was a DoD-wide shortage of ammunition.
Fresh off his visit to Berlin, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had visits, meetings and ceremonies with more than a few of Europe’s most powerful movers and shakers.
