If things start getting messy and more embarrassing for Putin, that's the propaganda they will spin. CIA funded it and gave Wagner Intel etc...
Usual shite they spew.
Fresh off the press, thanks @Discodog
..
Rumour that Putin's plane tried to enter Kazakhstan air space and that he wanted to hand power over.
May well be true.
Reports of lots of units joining in the convoy and that units might be brought back from Ukraine by Prigozhin to reinforce his coup.
Tubridy must be praying they get to Moscow!
Yeah
Prigozhin left two of his 'top guys' behind in Bakhmut to support the Russian Army.
There's a few videos popping about about Kadyrovites on their way to Rostov. Don't know if they are legit but Wagner seem to be preparing for a siege.
2021: Russia - second army in the world
2022: Russia - second army in Ukraine
2023: Russia - second army in Russia
Exciting times, let's hope it keeps going. The only war for this war to end well is for Russia to implode....
That says how fooked Putin is, Rostov on Don is an important military centre, there is enough there to beat Wagner but no will, too much Cake and samwidches from the public seems to be their greatest threat so far.
Putin having to rely on Chechens to go up and stop them. Bit of the Romans relying on the Huns vibe.
Only reason Wagner is leaving this **** show,Is cos the mercenaries are not up to the job and wants to save face
So true.
There was a report earlier on that Putin had fled to his residence in Novo Ogaryovo, and now that he's gone to St. Petersburg, and now this thing about trying to flee to Kazakhstan.
We probably don't know where Putin is. Maybe the CIA has a fair idea. I would say it's reasonable to assume he's no longer in Moscow, though.
A day is a long time in politics, as they say 😅
Kazakhstan story seems like bull tbh
There are many Putins. He's probably in all of them.
I'm inclined to agree with this tweet.
Solovyov admitting that the prospect of civil war in Russia is very real now (perhaps it's already well underway?).
I see all of the people, who probably haven't posted in the thread since March of last year, have shown up to grace us with their takes and theories.
Probably is but it all adds up to him being yesterdays man as far as the public view it.
He would go to the big Communist brother in Beijing, if anywhere.
If they had a moat they'd be pulling up the drawbridge right around now
This could get interesting, time to see what the tik tok warriors are all about
So what? Everyone who isn't thread-banned is allowed to post here.
Posting every day does not convey special privileges.
Surely vlad fleeing would me vlad accepting defeat?
Id presume he's going out Adolf style, there's nowhere for him to run to in reality.
If he loses power he's just a midget on the run with a lot of enemies.
TikTokkers Vs Battle Hardened soldiers...
Hmmm
The plane to St Petersburg is supposed to be the prime minister.
If Vlad does a runner it will be on the down low. If he starts jumping around on the presidential plane it will be an easy target for a number of different parties, who can say it was somebody else that shot it down.
The optics of Kadyrov's men fighting Prigozhin's inside Russia would be beyond horrendous for the regime.
Kaliningrad would probably be the safest place for him? The international arrest warrant certainly doesn't help.
But it's still early days, we'll have to see how big a force Wagner end up with when they reach the outskirts of Moscow (there are reports of other Russian forces joining the Wagner convoy enroute)
Well considering the events unfolding, it isn't that surprising? Not everyone can dedicate themselves daily to internet forums. News becomes mainstream, more people arrive here.
Same thing happens in the weather forum when it might snow but there's no need to gatekeep or belittle the views of others because they aren't the regulars at your bar.
Only just woke up after getting home from a party around 9am.
What a lovely day it is folks, enjoy the spectacle.
