Raskolnikov2089 posted: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?" Also, I think for some reason Shoigu and Gerasimov are pretty attached to their heads and might not want to give them up without a fight.

New vid dropped. Priogi is a true poster https://twitter.com/Teoyaomiquu/status/1672467500146065408?s=19 Full text of tweet "Prigozhin took over the southern MoD HQ in Rostov. He claims to have th controls over the airbase as well, and says that he will allow bombing Ukrainians, but not Wagner forces. He also says that Gerasimov run away before he came. He also says that if someone will claim it’s their fault for collapsed fronts, it’s a lie. He claims that he lets MoD kills Ukrainians in their standard schedule (not joking)" Alternate translation of air strike line 'We are controlling the airspace so VVS bombs Ukrainians and not us.'

KitConstantine posted:Also I'm pretty sure the video includes a dispute over formality of address aka pronouns so Russia is woke now whatcha gonna do Tucker???? вы and ты make a tremendous difference in how what you say will be received by the person you say it to. вы (vy') is the formal "you" that you would use when addressing a superior or in a formal, professional occasion. ты (ty') is the informal "you" that you would use when addressing your friends or subordinates. It's Prigozhin swinging his dick around and getting his way, and in Russian culture/language the choice of address matters in these instances.

They stare fiercely at each other, then both laugh and embrace, and Putin will wag his finger, "OK, you rascal, but next time you're really going to jail."

KitConstantine posted:Just like pronouns It's equivalent to "you" and "thou" in older versions of english, "you" is more formal and would always be the one used when wanting to show respect or deference, while "thou" is more informal and familiar and would be inappopriate to use with anyone not considered a friend or relative. In English "thou" just fell out of use all-together but the distinction survives in many Indo-European languages.

I don't think there is any scenario where the PMC with 25k-50k take Moscow. Russia has no shortage of bodies to throw at a given problem.

TulliusCicero posted:Why does he need Poopin? You have to look at both what he is doing and not doing If Moscow is clearly his right now and he knows that and chooses not to take it - could it be reasonably assumed that he doesn't have that desire? I'd lean towards thinking so. He could have a hostage situation and shut down the war until his demands are met But he isn't doing that. He has clearly stated goals and seems to be now patiently waiting for a reply. So I guess what he needs Putin for now is to reply?

Anyone who rivals his power he has suicided out a window. Even if he wanted to go back to the front line and be an obedient boyar, how can he, knowing he's the biggest threat to the Czar?
