New theory if this is more than a farce, maybe he was getting the heave-ho behind the scenes and was facing real danger, and this is his last play while he still controls some forces? If this is for real then he ded.
If there’s no fighting in Rostov then this is just half assed posturing gone wrong. Still ded tho.

Is there anywhere any live coverage?
I think Twitter is about as good as it gets. Coups are difficult to follow in real time.
missed this addition, this is something else. An American lecturing Russia about not taking over sovereign states and dictating its insane postwar vision to the world is fucken wild.

Sounds like some crossing the Rubicon shit.
Is there any possibility these Prigozhin videos are deepfakes made by Ukraine?
I’m wondering if Prig is hoping that as Wagner troops move East that Russian troops will actually join them, like the French troops did when Napoleon returned.
Yawn

The only possible response. You of course know that America had done all that and more over the last seventy years and the “rules based international order” is only breached when a non-US country follows the US example. We make the rules, you do what we say.

…and in the unlikely event that the above actually occurs, Putin likely:
- Skips town?
- Sets up a secure perimeter and tries to see how much of the military he still controls?
- Goes Medieval and uses any means, including tactical nukes, to try to destroy them?
BUT WUDDABOUT MURICA?
Bro, some of us listened when our parents taught us that some other party doing a bad thing doesn’t excuse you from doing a bad thing.
I remember when there were rumors of Zelensky leaving Ukraine and it seemed likely. Putin having to get out of Dodge seems crazy.
