The idea of that malcontent Chay Bowes moving to Moscow to peddle Kremlin lies and there being an attempted coup a few weeks later is just very amusing.
If someone strong took charge and said Russia was going to join the EU the Russian public would get behind it. They are completely disengaged from politics. Just someone take charge anyone. The czar, communists, drunk alcoholic, gangsters , anyone.
Wow, went to bed last night fearing that this was all some sort of elaborate hoax.
But seeing now what is happening in Russia is just glorious.
No matter what happens from now on this can only benefit Ukraine. I am just hoping that this doesn't all end to quickly, hopefully the wagnerites have just enough support to make this last.
I think the US will be able to advise the Ukranians enough on whether they should now seize this opportunity to go full out or not, but they may need to take this opportunity now before things settle down again IMO.
Thought he was retiring because nobody would give him a job
And yet he remains (all together now!) A Master Strategist!
(I’ll never get sick of that :P)
Oryx's is on it! (well the vehicles anyway I presume)
Claim that its all Biden's doing, while claiming that Biden has dementia and should be recovered from office?
Certainly seems to be the message that a good few of the names on the first page of this thread are going with in other threads on here and other sites.
Hard to see where this "march for justice" ends up in terms of change within Russia, and the Ukrainian leadership may take a while to see what occurs before leaping into any deployment of troops.
Fighterbomber who is reliable confirms this.
On Kadyrov:
God I'd love to see battles between Chechens and Wagnerites!
He seems quite relaxed
Question on this. How do we count the Russian war dead now, is it a separate list for the Coup/Civil war casualties or what?
They can go south east via the Caspian Sea, over Georgia (Still open to RU aviation) and then they’re in Turkish airspace. It’s a detour, but not as bad as going via the Stans
No. This is literally the guy who was responsible for undermining the USA's 2016 election with his troll farms. He influences Americans, not the other way round.
More likely that he's after getting high on his own supply.
Also now's the chance for Putin to use his Nuclear Warheads as the motherland is under attack...
So which group of rapists are you supporting today timmy ?
It's been claimed that putin left Moscow for his residence in novo ogarevo early this morning.....
So much for 3 days to Kiev
A lot has changed in 16 months!
I wonder did the American get to Prigozhin and influence him to mutiny. I know in world war 2, there was a lot of leaning on influencing people to double cross and with today's media we are just seeing the same except in real time.
Just realised that it's the 24th today. That makes it 16 months to the day since the full scale invasion began.
The Russians do love their numerology!
Appear Wagner have shot down a Russian AN-26
Ideal situation is Russia pull out of Ukraine and this drags on endlessly.
For relative stability, Putin needs to stay in power. Russia won’t be a friend to the West until there’s a democracy.
I am glad they are enjoying the show:
No chance whatsoever. Putin has miscalculated and is fooked.
Blyatkrieg
First I have heard that they are bypassing Voronezh. I guess the things of value (the airfield) are not in the city itself
Claims they've seized an airfield.
Could really help the Wagner push their way to Moscow. (do they have trained and willing pilots?)
plane shot down
Could be propaganda, but then again.....we are living in strange times...
Locals making the most of it anyway
It would also be interesting to see how Russian civilians react to this.
