“Now the trumpet summons us again – not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, ‘rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation’, a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself”.

WAGNER AREESTED IN MOLDOVA The arrest was reported on March 12 by the border police. The man was detained at the airport in Chisinau immediately after arrival. During a search, cops found a military ID and that he is a member of the Wagner Group. He was deported.
I looked up this Twitter feed after seeing this post…and interestingly, they’ve blocked me. Wonder why? Please report this Wagner Group criminal recruiting tool that
won’t take down.

Another Wagner account recruiting for Wagner on Twitter. Putting Musk in violation of US law by hosting and providing advertising of monetary value to a US designated terrorist organization. You would think @TwitterSafety would do quick sweep of these numerous Wagner accounts.
