BoldFace posted:Do we know if Prigozhin is traveling with the convoy or if he stayed behind in Rostov? The rumors are that hot dog man set up his stand in rostov on don, and even more hardcore nazi (and og wagner founder I think?) utkin is leading the moscow convoy. Very unconfirmed

Remember when those Russian separatists jumped the border and showed how weak Russia’s internal defenses were? And remember people saying that showing this internal weakness was a giant waste of time? lol

Omobono posted:It's not completely impossible they're being greeted as liberators. [/Shitpost] I don't remember it, but that was a failed coup providing the final credibility loss for Gorby and the communists, so that Yeltsin could politically undercut them out of a job and existence. Essentially Russia wise that was basically bloodless and mostly political machinations, it was more House of Cards. This is already way crazier.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:I believe it's because it was the equivalent of Air Force One. I mean, if I were fleeing an advancing army which has AA capabilities, I would probably not do so in the plane name "Deformed Church Is Fleeing In This Plane". I guess I'd also leave it there even if I was fleeing, to make me not look like I'm fleeing, for propaganda and misdirection purposes, but y'know.

It really seems the Russian state is in paralysis, as there are tons of stuff they could have done to stop this and they're not.

John Wick of Dogs posted:Doesn't Russia have like, an air force or something? How the gently caress does a convoy march on the capital of a country with a big military? a) Wagner has mobile AAA vehicles b) because nothing happens in the russian military without 10 chain of command steps, and right now about 1/2 of the people in that chain of command have taken their phone off the hook. They are just waiting to see how things shake out. That's a thing that happens in coup attempts, when it looks anywhere even close to 50/50 odds.

Trump posted:Twitter is bustling with rumours that UAF have attacked broadly and gained progress in every direction. Might even have crossed the Dnipro at Kherson. That happened a few days ago. The kherson part. It's not new news. I wouldn't take any of this uaf gain stuff seriously just yet and the reason I say that is because I think that this is a good time to release this information but a lot of it's probably already happened or been happening over the last few days. So in a sense we are catching up to what is actually already occurred. I'm not doubting that there's games being made and that entire units are just getting up and leaving but I don't think we're going to see the full effects of that for at least a couple more days. I think this war is made people really expect stuff to happen extremely fast, I mean yes the march on Moscow is like 24 hours from birth and we're like literal hours away from it but that doesn't mean this entire civil War is going to happen over the span of a week. It could definitely could but there's more population centers that are further away from Moscow that can still do crazy things and there's other players who have not shown themselves yet. As a sopranos character once said our true enemy is yet to reveal himself.

If you have a problem, and nobody else can help - and, if you can find them (Rostov lol) - maybe you can hire...

Maybe I’m naive about how long it takes to mobilize but I certainly expected the regular Russian forces still in Russia to be putting up more resistance by now. In my mind that leds credence to the idea that Wagner did this knowing they had a support base in the MoD. Also seems like they may have read the public sentiment tea leaves correctly.

This is probably true, but it should also be considered that with the play by the MOD to absorb the PMCs into their own command structure they were basically forcing him into a corner by taking away the only thing that probably was protecting him from falling out of a window. This was incredibly smart to just do and wait around for as there was no way he was going to do something drastic like take a big risk.
