what are the Ukrainians up to during all this? mass confusion seems like a prime time to do a little a war.

i'd assume waiting and seeing if and where troops get pulled back to potentially exploit weaknesses in their lines, but there ain't much you can really do until you see how serious poo poo gets

this is spiraling away from "wagner takes city in protest and attempts to get demands met" to "wagner and portions of the army are marching on loving moscow" faster than i think anyone's had time to process

does this mean the several african countries that wagner basically controls are now at war with Russia

I don't think Wagner controls even a single African nation but perhaps you know something I don't. Care to share?

Yup, this. Waiting and seeing is the smart move.

definitely a mistake, although realistically i don't think anyone could have expected prigozhin to suicidally charge to Moscow

But yeah, Putin's got to either decisively crush Wagner now, or basically accept that Prigozhin's calling the shots and I can't see him doing that. Jeez Putin, there's a reason the state's supposed to have a monopoly on violence, you doofus.

Wagner now controls two of the command points. How do the sides stack up ticket-wise?

The government still has a ticking war score since Wagner has yet to claim the war goal.

well if the unit's at full health, it'll take 2 days to capture each building but then wagner gets an additional 1000 dollars per building they own which will help them afford neotanks

I missed like 300 posts, did Wagner take over Russia yet or what?

Also are people legitimately cheering for the worst people in Russia, the actual nazi paramilitary so toxic they couldnt cut it as a regular state force, to triumph?

When I pointed out that Russia was using an actual nazi PMC back in the 2022 C-SPAM Ukraine war thread I was asked if my bowtie spun. Then some folks kindly explained to me how all Ukrainians were nazis.

I'm sure there are actual fascists that are cheering this on, as well as idiots who's interest in the war extends only as far as Russia=bad. I know I'm laughing at the irony.

I certainly hope the Russians imprison Prigozhin. I don't see how a guy, whose main complaint with Russian leadership until today, was that they weren't committing enough war crimes in Ukraine to win, can reduce the misery caused by this stupid war.

This is actually a master stroke by putin, he's teaming up with prigozhin conducting a fake coup to get all the rats to come out and then he can crush all the weak officers that are failing russia.

this being a play to lure out disloyal subcommanders or whatever would mean it’s both fake and real at the same time which makes it the funniest option so far.
