Russia's Wagner militia forces are headed towards Moscow on Saturday after chief Yevgney Prigozhin initiated a military coup against Putin and his regime, which has seen the group take key cities and mock the President, who called them 'traitors'.
Putin addressed the Russian people on Saturday, warning that the military leader had 'stabbed him in the back', as Moscow is on lockdown as troops dig in in preparation to defend the city.

I’m not nervous about a destabilized Russia because Christ is my savior. Inevitably the world will end one way or another.
The Russian high command is seriously afraid - and apparently so are you.
It might also be the Russians are blowing up their own fuel depot so they don’t have to go to Ukraine.
Ivan is nuts.
Is Moscow the Russian equivalent of Wilmington?
“It’s called a rigged election. See 2020.”
A rigged election is not a shoo-in, using traditional American election terminology.
I don’t doubt that’s true.
St. Petersburg is a port city. An ideal place to escape from if they need to.
“The Russian high command is seriously afraid”
And you know this how? I mean, other than just pulling it out of your ass.
“and apparently so are you.”
You must have a room termperature IQ to immediately jump to junior high taunts in a situation like this.
Who is paying them now? Or are they playing their own game?
We will know the answer when they announce their position on gay rights.
Keep flailing. It’s all you can do.
Its 390 miles by road from Voronezh to Moscow, and Wagner got to Voronezh about 2:00 AM, CST. Gunfire is heard in Voronezh
Obviously Wagner Group is not going to defeat the balance of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The question is: Do they have to, or will said armed forces stand by, or actually join in the coup?
It appears that Putin cannot control his store-bought soldiers as he has done in the past.
Maybe Viden can give Putin a few billion to tide him over, you know, like Trump worked for Putin...heh, heh. Begs the old question, WWHD? (What would hillary do?)
“Keep flailing. It’s all you can do.”
Keep being an idiot, that is all you can do.
This is one of those conversations that makes one regret ever engaging in.

Exactly 16 months ago, residents of Kiev were fortifying their city to prevent a Russian invasion.
Today, residents of Moscow are fortifying their city to also prevent a Russian invasion.
I remain a master strategist.
We’re coming to get you!
Wonder how nervous Biden and party are getting now.
Plenty of reports that he already did.
Depends on what you and Prigozhin means by success.
Prigozhin replacing Putin is probably not in the cards. However that is not impossible
The west isn’t involved. This is Prigozhin making bid for power
