flexghost.That feeling when your Russian tank gets stuck in the Rostov city gates
That feeling when Wagner group is halfway to Moscow…as people flee Voronezh
That feeling when all the military facilities Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh are under Wagner PMC control
That feeling when the morning commute in Moscow is even slower due to soldiers peeing in fear prepping for the upcoming coup
That feeling when the store shelves in Rostov look like store shelves when Ukraine was first invaded
That feeling when tanks are in the Lipetsk region outside of Moscow
And the coup you ordered will be there faster than your pizza

That feeling when Russian “patriots” have to flee their home from the Rostov-Glavny station like they forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes
That feeling when the Russian military starts to defect
Like the 217th Guards Parachute Regiment that just sided with Prigozhin

ShinigamiX@ShieldHero85 that snow needs to be more yellow
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderI wondered if there might be a bit of that going on, once #Putin made it clear that #Prighozin is not acting as his internal fixer?
DieselI worry because Prigozhin is a sociopath. When the dust settles, let's hope it settles within Russia. Let's hope whoever gains the upper hand has some interest in a civil society and democracy. I wonder what Xi Jinping is thinking about his friendship without limits. I wonder about the vacuum the Wagner group will create in Africa and, to a lesser degree, Syria and who will fill it.
@dieselleech it’s Russia so…
No.
RD Hall@flexghost , I have no idea what Putin said to Pregozhin. However, Prigozhin lost face by retreating, and judging from Putin’s prior history, the probability of Pregozhin falling out of a skyscraper window is pretty high.
DamnKimberlee@rigeldyesshall he won’t. He’s too important to the criminal network that mediated their little spat.
@flexghost
As I quoted in another post.
On the "uncommitted," who weren't even allowed in Hell but condemned to spend eternity in Hell's vestibule...

xs4me2@flexghost Great to see this, the more chaos the better! The beginning of the end for the Russian Federation and its criminal regime.
@xs4me2 not that the new regime will be any better, but… Maybe at least Putin will meet a violent end? With some Russians along the way
@flexghost Exactly, in fact the more worrying part of it is, what will happen after this... it will not necessarily become more stable at all with factions fighting for rule.... a Russian revolution scenario comes to mind.
Might even be a watershed moment for the mere existence of the Russian Federation.
The demise of it would be the best possible outcome to once and for all settle the security risk this formerly imperialist state still poses in the world. Especially the atomic heritage...
@xs4me2 here’s the new guy. Same as the old guy.
Prigozhin might be looking for a top spot but under Putin. And if he wants the whole thing then he’s just as evil.
Of course, not the scrupulous KGB background, but perhaps even more evil…
However as with Russian leadership you will never know… dangerous as ever.
