I should let all of you people know that any action outside Moscow is irrelevant

Wait, this guy was Putin's cook?

Is this basically the equivalent of George Bush putting Bobby Flay in charge of Blackwater, and then Bobby Flay trying to pull a coup against Rumsfeld?
Prigozhin is the modern day Hadrusbal, it will be known in time if he will be hadrusbal or hannibal

Seeming very likely that military and national guard elements have joined (or are at least tacitly supporting) Wagner.  The situation is still hard to get a handle on, but the more I'm seeing, the more serious this is looking.

This seems like a ridiculously confident and specific statement to make <6 hours into this conflict.

In June of twenty-three there was a military coup /
Behind it was a gang called the PMC Wagner /
Who did not feel the need to be elected /

They had themselves a party at the point of a gun /
They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun /
A bomb or two and very few objected! /

Yeah! Just one blast and the governments fall like rain! /
Kapow, die! They stumble and fall! Aim high! /
We're having a ball...that's how we get the government we deserve. /

Yup. Whether Prigozhin wins or loses, there is going to be a very different constitutional order in Russia after this plays out.

So how does Russia continue it war on Ukraine after this?

It's clear for anyone to see that Russia is too weak to even control its own territory.
