Does anyone else remember about a goon who supposedly worked in foreign serivce or something like that and had hot dogs in Putin's Palace in his presence (and very likely Prigozhin's)? I saw that post in the early 2010s in a thread about meeting famous people. Probably bullshit but I sure wanted to know more about it in the remote possibility it's true.

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.

We found out how poo poo they were the first week of the war.
And most of their best are worm food in the fields of Ukraine.
And they are probable next to the front lines.
So I wouldn't put it past them for most to just sit back and see who wins this.

Worth noting there is leaflets popping up appealing to Russian MoD forces about being thrown into the Ukrainian meatgrinder. Wagner knows that Ukraine is nothing more than a slog, probably part of why they are marching on Moscow.

Also looks like they've crossed the Rubicon

There's rumors that Belarus is claiming to be in negotiations with Wagner forces, but I doubt this means anything as Belarus is just Putin's puppet.

Remember everything Russia expected Zenskyy and Ukraine to do at the start of their three-day operation? Capitulate immediately, leader flees to rule in absentia, and the invaders are welcomed with open arms by the locals?

Russia never accuses anyone of something they wouldn't do themselves... :v:

Lukashenka is a puppet but he'll happily pass his strings to the next guy, any loyalty is to the strongman, not Putin himself.

It's either Putin or the caterer now, so not sure what there is to negotiate.
