Is there any reason to suspect foul play as opposed to Russian infrastructure being unstable and generally poo poo?

Well, yes and no. The Russian government has pulled a couple of stunts similar to this after we joined NATO but this might be also just the system dying down due to scarcity of spare parts. Who knows?

Is the only reason they didn't sentence Prigozhin to a window cleaning because it might upset the Wagner loyalists? Guys who might actually do some real coup poo poo?

It seems similar to telling kids that their beloved dog is actually not sick at all anymore, very much alive, and totally happy living at a farm in the country.

Well, Latvia just announced "no more Russian visas period" so might as well lump the Baltics with those Finns, they're the real gang leaders.

she used to be a frontline fighter for ukraine and had a telegram following that got her popular enough to be pulled out of the line and turned into a fundraiser/propagandist. she's workin the marks. her information is usually very solid but she puts a dramatic spin on it that makes it sound like she's a narrator for an action movie trailer

E: there's an ongoing leak of hacked documents about the Minister of Defense. LMAO its a doozy. The same hacking group is releasing files about Prigozhin too. If you're interested, check out the telegram channel BlackMirror: https://t.me/black8mirror

Alright, I'll check in to it, when I was using the redirect extension at first it was only ever using .net which kept failing, but I see if has some other instances in a drop-down now.

edit: I still really wish SA had some tech to automatically screenshot linked tweets so we wouldn't have to go there or have half the tweets deleted when you look at old threads. A pipe dream I know, but it would be nice.
