I'm more feeling a 1917 buzz but it's all good.
Interesting times!
Wagner surely can't have that many men left? Not for a coup attempt.
Putin is so paranoid that he would have kept a minimum number of troops back to defend against exactly this possibility.
I don't buy that Putin and Prigozhyn are conspiring together against the MoD. Why the hell would Putin do that? The status quo suits him fine. If Prigozhyn took out Shoigu and Gerasimov then he could very well topple Putin as well.
I don't know. Something doesn't add up here...
Moscow not taking chances
"If FSB convicts Prigozhin, he would be able to re-join Wagner as a convict."
Joke on Ukrainian social media.
Kill squad dispatched.
The first social media coup.
I'm going to follow it for 15 minutes and then watch Netflix. So he better get a move on.
It is, although I'm getting night of the long knives vibes from it.
Seems Prigozhin said Shoigu will be hung in Red Square and dumped in with Lenin.
Thinking left field, this might be the old Socialist stab in the back story. Comrade Prigozhin coming to the rescue of Putin from the deceitful Shoigu and Geri.. who have betrayed Russia on the battlefield and hoodwinked poor Comrade Vlad.
It may just as likely be the other old Socialist story, fall out with your own side and start killing them.
Fascinating stuff to watch unfold.
Or it is a ruse for total mobilization?
If what is getting reported is true, would it be for security reasons? So the Russian army cannot geo-locate him?
Or is this all some mastermind level smoke and mirrors act for another plan.
Yes. He's no stranger to cutting videos of his rants. In fact he clearly enjoys it. As a man who ran quite a lot of bot farms in his time he has an innate understanding of social media.
it seems very odd that his most explosive content to date is confined to audio.
Lads, ive had a dark thought, we sure this is not some sort of Russian act or ploy to blow up the Nuclear Power Plant?
supposed movement
For the record, in case you weren't aware, Strelkov and Girkin aren't different people. It's the same fella who has gone by different names at different times for some reason:
The FSB have apparently initiated a criminal case.
Charges of Mutiny
No idea. Whole thing is very strange.
Smokescreen for a Wagner offensive?
Seen this on couple of trusted telegram channels and twitter accounts that are usually good.
Weirdly also claims (no proof) that some Russian units have sided with Wagner forces.
Even Kremlin acknowledges something is up
⚡️Putin is aware of the situation unfolding around Prigozhin, all necessary measures are being taken, Peskov said
This is an official source.
This sh1tz whether real or Russian Hysteria is absolutely fascinating to watch
Take this with a metric ton of salt, Bakhmut Demon alleges that remnants of Wagner still at Bakhmut have opened fire on the Russians.
Prigozhins Wagner PMC are probably at their weakest they have been in a long time, from a military point of view. I don't think they are able do much at the moment. If it wasn't for the hundreds of millions they are bringing to the Russians economy through the theft of African resources Prigozhin would be dead by now.
They used to describe the people who studied the inner politics of Moscow as Kremlinologists.
Seems the leading questions were always, what's really going on behind the latest story and who is using it to screw over who.
Couple of strange reports emerging..
And...
Russia is such an enigma trying to work out what's real and what the fcuk is actually going on.
That's all going to change when Ukrainian armor enters Crimea see how many rats flee across the kirsch bridge,it will bring an end to Crimea being a Kremlin retirement village
If a real military coup was in the offing, it wouldn't be announced ahead of time. That's a sure-fire way to make it fail. I mean, there's been oligarchs falling out of windows for much slighter transgressions than attempting to overthrow Putin, and since being overthrown is Putin's greatest fear, he'd be all over it if he had the slightest inkling it was a possibility. As they say, the revolution will not be televised (and it probably won't be on social media, either).
Strelkov, Girkin and Prigozhin all getting uppity together. This could get interesting.
