    Even if Piggy's endgame here is just to remove Shoigu, Gerasimov etc. at the top of the military tree and become Putin's no.2, he is going to have a fairly unhappy officer corps to deal with if he succeeds. Not everyone, but enough to make life interesting.

    Update: just saw what Putin said. Guess it is all or nothing then.

    I remember how Russian propaganda a thousand times from every corner at the time of financial crisis 2008. repeated, that Latvia for some unknown reason is a failed state. And now they got private army rampaging around in Russia itself. :D They always got all what they are wishing to others - fascism, economical collapse and now failed state.

    Bunker bitch is afraid of Piggy, and rightly so. They're two thugs and only one can rule.

    Russia was having a hard enough time in Ukraine WITH Wagner. Now that they have to fight Wagner AND Ukraine I don't see how this ends well for Putin.

    Denounced Prigozhin as a traitor. Piggy isn't just gunning for Shoigu & Gerasimov any more. Its Moscow or bust.

    Giving a psychopath Piggy his own private army probably wasn't such a good idea....Putlerstan is now thinking.

    There are also reports of Wagner gear moving near Lipetsk, which is north of Voronezh. Lots of things still not clear.

    Yes. Has not gone well.

    Probably could have got away with it if not for the whole Ukraine invasion thingy. Wagner would still be murdering third world types and looting their resources for the greater glory of Russia. Instead we have this.

    Not sure if this will go down as the stupidest invasion ever (Paraguay might still get the gold there) but it might get a podium finish.

    When I was young my dad used to say that Stalin should have ended up like that. Then it was Krushchkov who needed that treatment.

    Yeah....Putlerstan probably thinking that having Wagner steal African gold and diamonds would've been a far better option than him seizing cities and mitary bases in RF at the moment.

    they can defend the leadership in Moscow (those who have not run away) or they can continue losing the war in Ukraine but they cannot do both.

    Does the Russian military have the will and capability to stop the Wagners?

    I'm wondering when Putin orders the MIGs and bombers up into the sky? Could we see a "highway of death" scenario like in the first Iraq war?

    What do you all think?

    Quite possible....RuAF bombed Shebekina to try dislodge RVC "rebs" to no avail....but managed to toast a few hundred residents.

    Interesting analysis here. It takes us through the ABCs that we already know, but the interesting part is the part about how Russians decide which side to take.
