Imagine being president of a country that doesn't have civilian control over the armed forces. Must be crazy

Also re: soldiers and honour and will: There's a Belgian show (Kamp Waes) where regular civilians (pre-selected for fitness) get to go into special forces training (run by currently active and recently retired operators) for about a week to see if they can make it to the end. There's also a Dutch adaptation (Kamp van Koningsbrugge) of it, with the exact same format with the Korps Commandotroepen. Anyway, in that show the commandos talk quite regularly about how you "have to will/want (in Dutch it's the same word) to succeed", where they put heavy emphasis on the word "will" and also whenever it comes to giving up the thing that gets repeated is that it is "beneath/against my honor" to give up. All that stuff is certainly starting to be put into a certain context the more you talk about this poo poo, FF.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:so lemme get this straight The real reason is that Prig got really skittish that he was going to be thrown from a window following the integration of the mercs into the regular army in july. So he did a big show, sold his dudes out for an asylum package in belarus.

I don't think Prigozhin had anything close to a corps. A motorized battalion in road march is something like 4 miles long, which itself is much longer than any of the columns we saw last night. A corps traveling down the same road would be like a hundred miles long. I think there were probably less than a thousand mutineers overall.

Coup? Labor negotiation?)

lol a peaceful American protest (that didn't do anything wrong and were just freedom loving patriots who wanted a tour of the Capitol Building) gets closer to overthrowing their government than 25 million (reported) brave Russian freedom fighters who gave up 200 miles from their capital. USA! USA! USA!

Eh, Belarus might be safer than it seems. One of Lukashenko's primary political goals is to remain both very friendly with and also independent from Russia. Having a guy like Prigozhin stashed away might help with that.
