Jan 6 was a protest about a crooked election. Calling it an insurrection or comparing it is disgusting.

“However Prigozhin is collecting discontented people including the military to him.”

Zero evidence for this, zero

—”China will move on the Eastern section of Russia.”

China will NOT go kinetic because that might drag down its economy.
More like a quick sale in exchange for much need supplies.

A while back there was an article about the Chinese ‘suitcase invasion’ across the Russian border.

The Chinese have time on their side, no need to damage customer relations.

And the Russians have little choice.

I totally support Putin. I am anti-globalist to the core.

Prigozhin is a bloody handed murderer. As is Putin.

If the two fight and destroy or weaken each other all to the good

Do they have calendars in Poland?

Well, they have been flirting with suicide for 1000km.
So far just a few aircraft have tried to mess with them.

There is no “highway of death” in spite of everything.

It seems that the RuAF, in the main, isn’t eager to get involved.

Oh. Okay.

Still not seeing the comparison really because nobody travelling toward D.C. during the days leading to Jan 6, other than Ray Epps of course, was planning rudely and uninvited to barge into the Capital Building. Nor were they really coordinating with each other in any menacing way.

Nopem they weren’t told to stand down.

The Russian military units are joining Prigozhin as they are fed up of the 16 month long war

Agree on Jan 6th, but calling this a coup attempt is nearly as bad.

Why? The guy leading it is looking to remove Putin. Sounds like a coup to me.

“I totally support Putin. I am anti-globalist to the core.”

Like I said, rather dim. Sort of like a scientologist.

The lives of most Russians has gradually improved with his leadership and the reason why 80% of the populace supports him.

Right, and have russian lives improved in the last 16 months of Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

Oh, sure.

“The Russian military units are joining Prigozhin as they are fed up of the 16 month long war”
...and not a PEEP of complaints prior to the last 24 hours? Try again, please.

-—”WAKE UP!! “

NO, PLS, NO!

Let that skip-over sleep off his cheap Bud Light buzz.

These are some interesting times, no need to wast any bandwidth.

Actually not, his complaint is with the Defense Minister, Shoigu. I don’t believe there’s any record of him attacking Putin.

Too early to say that they are joining Prigozhin, but they certainly aren’t opposing him.

Time will tell.
