I've spent many hours reading this thread (history in real time after all), and am super impressed with the real time updates, videos, links, and topical analysis. Incredibly informative.

CGTN coverage that is not just TASS wire reprints: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2023-06-24/Wagner-mercenary-group-turns-against-Russia-What-we-know-so-far-1kU27bJ9bsA/index.html Interestingly, quite ambivalent in its coverage! quote:Authorities in Russia are urging residents to stay at home and canceling public events on Saturday as the Wagner private military group led what Russia called a mutiny against the Moscow defense establishment.

I believe it's because it was the equivalent of Air Force One. And you wouldn't have that thing leave without the president on it as it's essentially his last bastion.

Which sounds suspicious, but would line up with his previously puzzling history of escalating anti-Moscow tirades, and would also explain why the hell he was spending all his time in Ukraine instead of leading from his dacha like every other Russian commander.

bvj191jgl7bBsqF5m posted:Is there a place where I can learn about what the heck is going on because I asked in the smart politics forum for leftist intellectuals, and they replied with anime videos and I think many of them have the bad kind of brain diseases. Can GBS prove once and for all it has the good kind of brain diseases by telling me what is happening and who the people involved are because I've been really busy at the gym lately Russia uses the Wagner Group as very disposable soldiers. For example, they’ll toss them in the front lines and then bomb both them and the Ukrainians. The Wagner Group, sick of this poo poo, decided that they’re better off usurping the Russian military and are now engaged in a civil war with Russia. They have captured two cities so far and are moving towards Moscow. Putin has fled(?) This is most likely the beginning of the end of the Ukraine war. The leadership of the Russian military in Ukraine is in chaos and they lost the support of the Wagner Group. At this point I expect a lot of surrendering.

All of the relatively fast and easy progress made by Wagner is also almost certainly due to what resistance there could be to stop/slow it down either all fled to Belarus or got put in Ukraine and are feeding new sunflowers, likely in Bakhmut rofl

Automata 10 Pack posted:Russia is invading Ukraine with it’s own military and the “Wagner Group” neo-nazi mercenaries that recruit prisoners. Good summary, but it's also worth noting that Wagner has a reputation, at least, of being much more competent than the proper Russian army, which has had a catastrophically poor showing for the duration of the war.
