Yeah unless a lot of the Russian army actually defect (which seems extremely unlikely) I expect this will all be over with fairly quickly, but hopefully the Ukrainians can take advantage of the chaos.

Everything I said earlier about how this could be some kind of controlled opposition? Yeah, I'm just gonna throw all that poo poo out the window, because I've basically been doing the below while reading those tweets.


I could never get onboard with the controlled opposition explanation, it never really made sense considering what and how Pissgoblin and Terrorist Girkin were saying this poo poo. But I didn't have another explanation as I didn't think they would actually try to do a coup.

Don't think I can get myself too excited about this either yet, but let's see. I mean worst case is Wanker SS wins and tries to do more war crimes but it's not like russia has much spare capacity for it they've just been refusing to use out of good will.

Serious question: Does anyone know anything about the state of Wagner's troops in Africa? IIRC they're some of the most experienced goons Prigozhin has. If he flew them to Ukraine ostensibly to take part in the invasion, then it might be a reason for him to think he has a shot at this.

Realistically, how many troops does Wagner have? Is this an actual potential threat to Poopin, or something that can be mopped up by Rosvgardia pretty quickly?

Wagner definitely has enough troops that they could definitely march on Moscow ... whatever. I mean like 10k troops could do a lot of things there.

But obviously in a situation like this rumors and misinformation are going to be all over the place.

From Meduza:

quote:

Sources close to the Kremlin appear to have been taken by surprise. “Clearly, he didn’t coordinate any of this with the president’s administration,” says one insider familiar with the situation in the President’s Office. “The president trusts the military leadership at the moment. The Ukrainian counteroffensive proved not to be such a great threat. In any case, this is the way it comes across. Whether Prigozhin coordinated any surprise steps with the law enforcement or security structures, or with Putin personally, I don’t know,” says the same speaker.

This makes me wonder if the Ukrainian offensive has really stalled out like has been claimed or if it's building momentum and Prigozhin sees the writing on the wall.

Didn't they just breach a bunch of trench lines last night? Pissgoblin seems to think Ukraine will win no matter what.

Well if anyone knows the true situation on the ground it's Prigozhin. Though it's hard to know what this means as he's be crying wolf for over a year now.

Here's to hoping this spells bad news for Putin regardless of what's actually happening.
