Proportionally, more of the British upper classes (17%) died than the lower classes (12%). The British upper classes did not use bone spurs or money or whatever to get out of their duty.

This is why virtually every public school of note had a CCF (combined cadet force). In my day it was a compulsory activity. Army or Air Force. Anyway a little off topic I think.
 
Somebody I know whose been doing humanitarian work in the region, though I think this was more a social visit - but posting this like it had become an everyday thing:

"Flight to Chisinau on Friday was cancelled on Thursday - too many missiles crossing Moldovan airspace. Scrambled onto a flight to Iasi in NW Romania on Saturday evening."

So the Wagner boss is running for Putins job, that means one of them has to Die, both will know it.

So its a duel to the death, FSB V Wagnerites, both sides will have excellent assassins.

My moneys on Putin winning the duel, he seems less exposed than Prigozhin. But who knows money talks and finding someone close to Putin to do the job wouldn't be that hard when the payout would be in the millions.

This is most likely just propaganda, Putin owns Wagner and they love him

Personally I'd err towards it being manufactured drama, possibly to see who sides with Prigozhin to draw out those who might be a threat to Putin, expose potential spies, etc. etc.

Personally I don't see Putin getting bumped off except by pure chance and/or if eventually the bulk of the population rose up against him, he is far too careful, far too much in control, far too paranoid - even those who might think about it are likely too suspicious of those around them to try and engineer something.

Unbelievable that Bakhmut is still holding, but it seems control of the city is now divided into east (Russian) and west (Ukrainian).
 
It's costing the Russians big time to try and take it. AFU said "I wish we could sell them another hill at the cost of Bakhmut" (Or very close to this wording).

Certainly seems odd after a long period of seeing no one to visit the moron in the north making your life more difficult to visit him twice in quick succession... Suspect a deal is being hashed out to revert colonised Chinese lands back to Beijing or somewhat less likely he's handing Putin an ultimatum in person because he'd not trust it otherwise.

Suspect it's the opposite. Suspect it's 'keep going' as it's draining significant resource away should China decide to try and take Taiwan.

Perhaps, but it's forcing the West to increase production capacity which I wouldn't say is a good outcome for Beijing especially if it means China dealing with dozens of possible warlords if Russia actually succeeds in crumbling.
