Uk ministry of defence think Moscow
Its an easy out for Putin. He recalls his troops to defend the motherland calling an end to the SMO due to internal security issues. Appears strong in crushing Wagner force and brings the country back from the brink of civil war. Wagner leadership who see their lambs slaughtered, ride off into the African sunset. Putin try's to maintain control of Crimea and whatever little ground he can with his reduced force and calls it a victory against the west. Agreement between PUT & POG that when PUT expires through natural causes, POG takes the lead, regroups and goes again.
Reminds me of Boycies quote "B&Q will be selling a new door".
interesting alright.
Reports of fighting between RU air assets and Wagner on the M4 highway.
This is a huge column,seems this was in the planning for a while, how they kept this away from Russian military is a mystery
I think a lot more could be involved in this than just Wagner
A word that sounds like it's been plucked right out of a The Day Today script.
So even Wagner calling it a Civil War?
Prigozhin whilst an evil pig must be loved by his men to go what would seem like a suicide mission.
More shooting please.
Tucker Carlson wont know what to do with his show lol
Do I want to know what I’ve been missing on his drivel
Seems to be picking up military support as he goes along though, this is all mad stuff altogether.
probably best not, for your mental health and all.
Has to be. People in the back ground making their moves now. Will be interesting who it is.
Frankly it’s not normal for others on here to mention him and I assume that’s a result of his move to Twitter making his presence far more insipid and obnoxious for any poor souls that still bother with an account on that repeatedly hacked shithole.
Shoigu's not the only one either....now we will see which colors will be nailed to which mast. Prigozhin has made them an offer they can neither refuse or ignore.
Outskirts of Voronezh, near M4 (claimed)
Yeh, I was thinking that. Speed is of the essence if they are actually gonna make a serious stab at a coup.
This all seems just chaotic. If all Russian soldiers/defence keep stepping aside and Wagner did actually take control , is this a good or bad thing? I mean it’s a different thing but it’s not clear if this could be worse for stability. I suppose the IRA blended into Sinn Fein, so perhaps it might not be as bad as it sounds like it could be?
Rybar telegram channel is now claiming Russian aviation assets are targeting Wagner forces along the M4 highway.
Look at the news
Go way ta fcuck
looks like Kremlin trying to end this quickly.
But other reports claiming Wagner have brought AA including Pantsir with them.
Hmmmm, 2022 - news of the big convoy on the way to Kyiv, 2023 now the Wagner convoy on the way to Moscow haha I bet Putin never saw that coming
Best of luck to both teams
Prigozhin is a very very dangerous man. Wouldn't be very enthusiastic about someone like him taking Putin's place.
Claims of AA in action
There hasnt been much fighting yet other than the 3 helicopters downed.
The FSB stood aside and allowed wagner free movement from ukraine and internally within Russia. Several MoD military groups stood down also near Rostov and Voronezh.
The Chechens likely will fight - kadyrov will not risk Putin out of power as it could spell the end of him. Similar for other Putin appointees in the regions, they will back him until such a point as its obvious he will lose, and then back the other guy.
Seeing as the main public reason for all this is the MoD attitudes to soldiers in ukraine, poor supply, no regard for loss of life etc - its hard to see much of the regular Russian forces fighting wagner either - many of them would share Prigozhins motivations too.
A pretty exciting 3rd act after so much filler, the writers of this show really threw a spanner in the works
This is chaos. Everyone is scrambling. It's basically a big swinging dick contest at this point and neither Putin nor Prigozhyn look to be the types to back down.
Pretty soon the Russian army is going to have to engage somewhere or they risk a capitulation.
😄😄
A clean contest, extra time if necessary, CCCC will adjudicate any disputes.
Good news, but my gut feeling is that this Prigozhin move will collapse in a few days. Now that the entire Russian propaganda apparatus has been mobilized against Prigozhin, his troops won't have any support among normal Russians and I am guessing it will fizzle out rapidly.
But we'll see.
