Not sure what two streets in Rostov are proving. Pissgoblin said they just entered Russian territory so they could be like 100km away.

Hopefully gets some opportunities for Ukrainian army as well. The russians must be disorganized right now (more than usual), perfect for a strike or two.

Prigozhin is going to come out of this as President and I will lol.

Actual content: Rostov is a big logistics hub, right? Regardless of how this all goes, it’s going to seriously gently caress up Russian supply lines.

Its pretty insane that Putin nabbing Crimea with next to no downsides set in motion a chain of events that led to a Kornilov affair sequel after 10s of thousands have died.

There are a few cases, like Shoigu to Putin, because Shoigu owes him pretty much everything and he's also basically his only friend. But in most cases they're loyal only to money and their own interests.

There has been several videos and images from tonight in Rostov and Moscow about moving OMON and Rosvgardia gear into the city, some random twitter showing an empty intersection doesn't mean that something is going on.

And that Rostov road blocked towards north has been growing the entire night, something is definitely happening there.

Russia is on high alert in both cities, and there are many sources for this (including Russian ones). But what we don't have any evidence of is Wagner actually moving/doing anything, beyond Prigozhin's claims.

The Russian army seems to have a fantastically dysfunctional command structure, as we are now seeing two generals having a private showdown, so these were probably just ordered to happen: The troops doing that are so far that they really don't care how things are going in Rostov or somewhere else, they are just doing what's told or else.

This isn't actually just Russia's thing: Keep in mind that in Catch-22 the bombing squadron got a commendation for missing their target because they weren't told that the town they were supposed to bomb was already taken by allied troops. The book is a work of fiction, but that book and Apocalypse: Now are generally considered to be fairly accurate depictions of the wars they are written to happen in.

So basically this means that A) this coup thing didn't happen, but an army corps sized unit was just allowed to leave the front because the general is having a hissy fit or B) this is bullshit on top of bullshit on top of bullshit?
