Please resist the urge to romanticize this.

Wagner are literally neo-nazi terrorists who, until somewhat recently, were officially a PMC group for the purposes of doing the shit so heinous that even putin wanted plausible deniability. Think Blackwater except the crimes against humanity were the point rather than a fun side effect.

Prigozhin was likely on his way to the chopping block as he was potentially a political rival and basically was having his army taken away. So he and his army are now engaging in a coup.

Think of this less as the russian army "having enough" and more as a violent uprising by a warlord... against a fascist.

Sorry if thats how it came across.

I realize this guy is just another warlord, trying to save his own ass, but the people around him and below him are just people who don't want to die, but need some kind of reassurance, even if its based on a bad person doing self serving things, sometimes that's all it takes in a situation that sucks, to tip a domino. One potential opening.

I'm not really sure how to unromanticize life tbh. We're talking about based human nature here. Whether you like to admit it or not, is largely dictated by emotions. It could go any number of ways.

I am not there.

Again, do some research on Wagner. They are capital E Evil with a few Heil Hitlers thrown in for good measure.

This isn't like the Azov Battalion where there were a LOT of evil mother fuckers but there had been a slow effort to get rid of them. Wagner cultivates that evil white supremacist mindset.

Again, think of this less as heroic soldiers having enough. Think of it more as a neo nazi and his goons are pretty much the only well equipped soldiers in the entire country and the national guard are just keeping their heads down... to avoid having them crushed with a sledgehammer in a ritualistic execution.

I am downright GIDDY that putin is probably going to be dead within the next week or two. I am downright terrified that Prigozhin and his neonazi fucks are going to be a nuclear power.
