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

Yes, unfortunately anarchy within Russia’s borders both increases the odds of Ukraine winning and of nuclear catastrophe.

I am being to think that this "convoy" is a ruse, and the real coup is happening behind the scene.

AP saying that Wagner forces have entered Rostov with "no resistance".

In all fairness, AP is merely saying that Prigozhin is saying this and Prigozuhin is hardly a neutral source.

Is Prigozhin trying to become a modern Spendius?

While everyone is fixated on this "convoy", a coup might be happening being the scene right now.

Exactly 16 months ago at this very time we were watching the opening salvos of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And now we might be seeing the end of it.

Where is Putin? Its odd we haven't seen or heard anything from him yet. Presumably he could put a stop to this pretty quickly if he made a public statement. Only possibilities I see are that he is unwilling to say anything or unable to.

He is in an underground bunker.

Huh, maybe the convoy was real after all. Though these could be Rosgvardia (National Guard) too; at least it means someone has a massive convoy headed for Rostov.

Yeah, Putin's silence is... interesting.  As well as the generals coming out begging Wagner to stand down.  Usually, generals do not resort to begging the troops like this if they are in a position of strength.

Lmao this shows how power can get over someone’s head. This millionaire mercenary believes that he can be the new Russian leader considering he’s “in charge” in the battleground.

People are being naive or blinded by their anti-Putin status quo if they think this guy ruling Russia is better for Ukraine or for the world. Keep the nuclear weapons away from the Wagner Group pls.

I don’t want him ruling Russia. Or Putin ruling Russia. What I want is chaos. Destruction of the Russian regime. Preferably in a game of thrones style free for all where Putin and all his bois end up offing eachother.

I guess you’ll have to move on to cheerleading for Xinnie the Pooh next

Also, it's not a curfew if I ask nicely:
