IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he could have overthrown Putin!
you would think people with half a brain would know better by now!!!
Putin wont stop until he has reassembled the old soviet union!
I cant believe we missed our shot to take him out because this guy was too stupid to know what would happen if he didn’t follow through!
If Pooty sent his air force in numbers against the Wagner mutiny, that Wagner force would have been decimated. Just like Wagner vs. the US in Syria, but on a much larger scale.
Best bet might have been for Wagner to occupy some areas where they had popular support, then see if Pooty would level a few of his own towns and a city or two. My guess is “yes”. But the Russian forces might botch it up and not succeed quickly, which might give time for revulsion to build elsewhere in Russia. Lots of ifs. Lots of dead Wagner soldiers.
No disagreement on Pooty’s eventual intentions, though.
If he's really dead, then yes. This is our answer. He had a brief opportunity to take out Putin in June 2023. Moscow was undefended and no one was able to stop the Wagner Guys.
All the Russian troops were in Ukraine. It's unlikely that Putin's regime would mount a counterattack after Moscow is captured. It'll be just like 1917.
