Looks like Putin needs to accept the reality of a new, multipolar Russia.

There's been some chatter about military convoys around Voronezh too, and now this: https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1672435772912279554 Moon Slayer fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Jun 24, 2023 |

All of us from Tampa Bay know about it. We have the constant fear of being a high value nuke target and the local paper runs radius maps of a strike every now and then.  https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1672434984148140035 Seems like taking Rostov city's authority centers is their goal.

It's absolutely wild to me that Wagner the dudes is so far following Prig on this. This is absolutely batshit and seems to solely benefit him personally since his power base was crumbling. Or his dudes really are mad at Shoigu. Guess the next test is seeing if they still follow him against a srs attempt by the military to take back control.

Peace will only be possible when the Moscow regime accepts Wagner’s legitime security concerns and recognizes a regional ‘sphere of influence’ under Wagner’s direct or indirect control

Guess the next test is seeing if they still follow him against a srs attempt by the military to take back control. I guess if Prig gets purged the other Wagner dudes are not in for a good time too, and they know that. At best they get pressed into the regular Russian army and sent to the front. And not sure if they issues they have are legitimate, like undersupplied by the MoD and all that. Plus, a lot of them are in suicide squads that were supposed to be sent to the front to die. Rolling into Moscow might be quite safe in comparison. How much actual army is left there?

You know, I was giving it some thought, and for all that people have been laughing at a bunch of bystanders taking cell phone video of Wagner going after the MoD building, I think those people filming might be the worst thing to happen to Putin in the last 24 hours. A big deal has been made about how Putin controls the media and that's a major part of how he's gotten away with everything so far. But assuming those videos spread fast, and I can't imagine they don't, there's no longer any way to hide or excuse what's going on. Even if the Russian forces rally and crush Wagner in the next 12 hours, practically everyone in Russia is going to know that a famous military unit mutinied and accomplished quite a lot. That's going to be a huge blow. And the soldiers are going to be seeing those videos too. I don't know if there's any truth to the stories of Russian military units joining or even refusing to fight Wagner, but once they see those videos the odds of it happening probably goes way up.

Russia seems to have intensified missile strikes on Ukraine in the meantime. My understanding is strikes like that are planned at least several days in advance, but timing makes it look like a tantrum.
