HonorableTB posted:They mean we plebs will never know. It's almost certain that intelligence agencies know exactly who, what, when, where, why, and how and it's more advantageous to western interests to not disclose it. About the only country I'm sure DIDN'T do it is Russia ironically. My own  guess is that it wasn't any state actor, but some other big petrochemical company doing a shadowrun; IIRC a lot of oil went through Nordstream, and cutting off Russian oil might have meant big bucks for some other corporate entity, or at least it would have until Europe decided to go (somewhat) green.

I'll be honest, I'm actually kind of surprised Russia still has significant enough numbers of these in storage that they could send to the front; I'd have thought the vast majority were scrapped and/or recycled over the years to make way for newer models, with a small amount being put in museums or kept as trainer tanks or whatever. Does the US have a strategic reserve of Shermans? Will France need to fear British Churchills and Challengers making their way across the Channel tunnel?

Yeah, I'll be honest, I'd have thought Bakhmut would've been the one place Russia would not have given up for anything shot of Zelensky marching to Moscow, considering all the lives and materiel that they spent trying to take it. And they were so close too, or at least that was what the doomsaying just a few weeks or so ago was about. It's like bankrupting yourself to run a marathon in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere, and then making GBS threads yourself a metre before the front line and then going home.

Ukraine elects a comedian- and like any good comedian, he gives hell to someone trying to get him off the stage. The USA elects a reality show guy- and like any good reality show guy, he puts the spotlight on himself and his show for the world to laugh at.

Yeah, at the risk of indulging my and this thread's bloodthirst, Wagner and the MoD having a go at each other sounds really good. That being said, I'm gonna go all here and propose that this is somehow some kind of controlled opposition move; after all, Wagner apparently has facilities near Russian bases in the Motherland proper, why would Prigozhin want to jeopardize those? True, that kind of move seems beyond the geniuses involved in the invasion, but still.

Dead forum user posted:Is there any chance this will end up in a somewhat serious power struggle? Is Prigozhin even popular at all in Russia? If this is a coup attempt, it doesn't seem very well planned Your guess is as good as anyone's; my gut tells me that Putin's too entrenched to take on, but maybe Prigozhin's smart/dumb enough to think he can take the MoD head-on- basically, the tsar is secure, the boyars are fighting. EDIT: Let's be clear though, my gut told me that this was some kind of psyop, so don't place your bet on my instincts

Serious question: Does anyone know anything about the state of Wagner's troops in Africa? IIRC they're some of the most experienced goons Prigozhin has. If he flew them to Ukraine ostensibly to take part in the invasion, then it might be a reason for him to think he has a shot at this.

Sir John Falstaff posted:I don't see how successfully forcing the state/Putin to dismiss Shoigu in this manner wouldn't be a coup--even if it left Putin nominally in charge it would be clear who the real power was. Maybe the powers that be* + Prig think that Putin would best serve as some kind of figurehead; never mind the fact that Putin would never agree to such a position. *By which I mean any oligarchs that might have decided to throw in with Wagner, as another goon theorized.

I don't think Putin's gonna negotiate- it's one thing if the fighting is limited to a border region like Chechnya, it's quite another when your caterer is driving troops right into the heart of your nation, and by all accounts is heading for the capital. These two old farts are in a 'victory or death' scenario, and the best part is that this could have all been avoided if Putin had pulled back his troops or never launched this genocidal invasion in the first place.
