I note (I'm not the only one in fact) that many idiotic mainstream media sources in the West are still going on about the Titan sub (RIP to all of those who were onboard of course) a lot more than this.

Prigozhin will get what is coming to him soon enough.

Isn't it such an indictment of Vlad the Lazy (and the Russian MOD) that this feuding assclown has been allowed to attain this much power and publicity? Even from a "patriotic Russian" standard the President is not doing his goddamn job and hasn't been for a while.

It's doubtful that Prigozhin will be President of that country soon. It's more of a question of who he will take down with him.

Meanwhile, Surovikin looks tired:



Surovikin was Wagner's favourite general, at least in public. Prigozhin either has a lot of secret, powerful allies (very useful in a coup of this scale!) or he's in jeopardy.

I forgot about it until I read this tweet. But this, in the most "time is a flat circle" way, is 100% true:

CNN is still going on about the sub. At least MSNBC is covering stuff that's actual news (Supreme Court stuff and Trump's legal issues), but yeah this situation is like extremely urgent and I wish they'd talk about it!

From elsewhere.

If Wagner are on the move into Rostov, it's possible that they are heading towards Morozovsk, if there's still a nuclear weapons depot there, as there was in 2017.

Two-and-a-half hours drive from where Wagner were reported to have crossed the border from Ukraine.

It's quiet in the city itself...as of 26 minutes ago.

We haven't seen videos of any tanks. I wonder where they could be?

It would be much better if Putin had to use his military to defeat the Wagnar group than have them in Ukraine.

Doubt this coup attempt works, and honestly probably for the best if it doesn't since a mercenary army running a nuclear power sounds extremely dangerous, but hopefully enough damage is done against Putin's regime and the Russian state army to further undermine their invasion of Ukraine.

Don't know what's happening but this is both exciting and scary. Coup? Civil War? At least we can unreservedly enjoy the memes.

I feel like Woody, as someone on the ground there, would be a useful source now.
