Normally I don’t work this late but there are potentially world-changing events happening tonight. For those that need a quick primer, you can go back and read these four posts for the longer version. This has been building up for months:

(snip)

So now let’s catch up on events of the past few hours. Prigozhin’s troops have been fighting with the army in and around the Russian town of Rostov.

(snip)

They attacked the headquarters of the defense ministry in Rostov.

(snip)

They apparently have taken control of the city.

(snip)

Prigozhin’s forces are already headed to Voronezh which is about halfway to Moscow.

The Dems and the neocons have been screaming for the last year about overthrowing Putin. That is what is happening. You don’t think the CIA hasn’t been involved in this?

The fighting could start in 2 hours.

But first the Tik-Tok brigade has to stop and make some videos of them shooting at trees.

How is Biden “in charge”? Do you think he makes a single major policy decision?

The reason we can have brain-dead politicians like Biden and Fetterman is because those guys don’t actually do anything. They are put into power soley for their ability to lie.

Prigozhin and his mercenaries have apparently been bought out by Western intelligence agencies.

Hence the name “mercenaries”.

Note to self: Never hire mercenaries. Especially when my enemy has orders of magnitude more jack than I do.

Collateral damage on Russia, especially in the heartland where PR matters most.

You’re going to see their ranks thin out just as quick as the mass support for Qtardation dissappeared I think. Perhaps they will petition for the mods to give them their own “safe space” thread to hide in too.

I am taking a wait and see approach. Putin has lots of enemies not just the Biden Admin. Also Putin has not yet been overthrown. I hope the US was not involved, cause if it was and Putin stays in power there will be hell to pay.

This falls under the unwritten military rule of the 1960s.

And only HALF of what you see.”

“The fighting could start in 2 hours.”

Perhaps. Unless Kadyrov decides that his interests are better served siding with Prigo. Remember, the Chechens started off rebelling against Putin before they were brutalized into supporting him.

“Nobody in Moscow is going to nuke one of their own cities, or risk further alienating Russian military members”

How much do you know about the behavior of NKVD/KGB/FSB?

Voronezh

The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk).

The Dems have spent the last years partnering with Putin on a new
Trump policy busting Iran nuke deal. The last thing they want is him gone.

That’s because people in the know are better informed knowing this is just part of the story....wise enough not to jump to conclusions.
