Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Pretty much this. Sent to Belarus with his tail between his legs.

Not a great day all a bit deflating tbh.

The good news is Ukraine shot up another helicopter and 30 artillery pieces in the last 24 hours.

Convinced he's a coke head from listening to some of his rants.

Some come down in fairness

I'd say any of the jailed prisoners that joined Wagner group their information is known to the Russian government. So now they have a target on them for life.

Lol

I wonder if we will find out who is behind that Darth Putin account ... they have hit so many home runs, have they made a mark elsewhere in the media?

Basically the FSB will be deciding what makes the Russian Federation look strongest (or least weak).

Putin - Gone. "Health issues" or arrested.

Prigozhin - Window.

Wagner - Some sort of humiliating defeat.

Shoigu & Gerasimov - Demoted or arrested for misappropriation of funds.

For Prigozhin, it's over.

He had an army of however many thousand. He even persuaded them to march on Moscow for about 12 hours. For a brief moment he had lightning in a bottle, but that's all over now.

Since then he's negotiated terms and basically surrendered. What ever power he had for that brief moment will never be regained.

He will go to Belarus and be put under house arrest. Putin will never, ever let him get near a position of command ever again after this.

Man, what a disappointment this turned out to be. The whole thing is just so perplexing. Like Prigozhin seems to have good instincts. Surely every bone in his body should be telling him that he can't trust Vladimir "I murder my enemies" Putin. He had his boot on Putin's neck and he took it off? Why? You don't take your boot off the neck of a guy like Putin cos when he gets up he'll stick a knife in you as soon as he can.

The only thing I can think of is that Prigozhin didn't think he had the numbers in the end - which seems odd as it looked like he had all of the momentum.

A day is/ can be a long time in politics etc What will tomorrow bring? Some serious sh*t went down, but exactly what consequences and who are the beneficiaries? Unless it was staged, which seems very improbable, a good few bridges were burnt.

Interesting

So is the arrest warrant cancelled ?

Strange for such a quick deal to be made after treason.

I should think they'd be there for a bit. Putin will be worried about his grip on power and be aiming to look strong in the days to come. One aspect of that will be boots in the capital. I'm not sure that Putin will be entirely comfortable that they are Chechen boots, though, and that he's essentially using one warlord to feel safe from another.

I've consulted "the youth" and I believe you are correct.

Its does seem he polished off a bottle of Smirnoff last night and got a little brave, sobered up on the way to Moscow and quickly backtracked 🤣
