And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Your eyes snap open to the beeping of life support systems. A nurse in the room with you screams and runs from the room as you sit up. You grunt as you rip the various wires and tubes from yourself, the tape tearing at the skin in the gaps shaved into your black fur. Then you remember: the child, falling. The man with the rifle, the gunshot.

The last time I was watching a coup attempt in real time on the Something Awful forums, it was that wet fart of an attempt to oust Erdoğan in Turkey in 2016. This seems vastly more significant so far. (I don't see Putin having some equivalent of blasting a rallying cry from the loudspeakers of every mosque...)

From Scott rose (rprose, guy who's tweet i posted)

"In the video, Prigozhin is berating Yunus-bek Yevkurov, a deputy defense minister and former head of Ingushetia. Yevkurov asks him to pull his men out of Rostov (and from around the HQ) and Prigozhin refuses"

They still have money, and the Emirates are more than willing to accommodate the families of high ranking Russians, for a start. Otherwise there's always South America.

Even if this coup goes nowhere, if Wagner is removed from the Ukrainian front, it's a massive win. Every interview with front line troops I have read have consistently pointed out Wagner soldiers as being well equipped, trained and much more effective than the regular Russian army.

He started this by saying the war was started by Shoigu and Gerasimov to the detriment of Russia, so while it's not out of the realm of possibility, it doesn't sound like that's his intent.

Would also be a nice solid exit for Putin. Shoigu and Gerasimov take the blame, there's some window accidents, he declares Ukraine is denazified and fucks off back to Russia.

I don't think you stay in power long if you let one of your subordinates dictate terms to you at gunpoint. Putin can't exactly go, "Oh I guess you really meant it. Well, fair enough, we're friends still right?"

I wonder how long it takes Ukraine to take total advantage of this.

I doubt the average troop in the Russian trench knows what's going on, but their command structure must be stressed out to put it mildly.
