“Why does anything happening in the world have to immediately devolve into USA politics?”
Good question. I find Americans, left and right, to be remarkably parochial. Stuff also happens in foreign parts for foreign reasons.
About as successful as the attempt to get Lenin’s Latvian Brigade to kill him. But it makes good copy for the paid Uke propagandist who understand little of history and even less of military reality. Wagner has no air- none this is an op against a now out of work “contractor”.
After all Prigo is no Skorzeny- he’s a tubby oligarch with emotion on his sleeve.
Guess its not just some Putin hating conspirscy theorists saying it.
Well, these guys are mercenaries and somebody has to be paying for this action one would think.
ping!
I am not sure how much control Putin has over the nuclear arsenal now since he is flying around, trying to get into Kazakhstan and being refused entry. At this point I doubt any rational military people would obey an order to send off nukes. Even Putin does not seem suicidal if he is trying to escape somewhere.
Meanwhile, as of 6 am EST, Saturday, it was reported Wagner was at the last bridge entering the Moscow area. It was suggested that once thy successfully crossed that bridge, Moscow would probably be theirs without too much trouble. All the govt. people are hung over, sleepy, worried, and miserable. Many officers (especially the younger ones) are failing or refusing to follow orders, and at times even are willing to join Wagner.
