Wagner Has taken Rostov on Don.

Russia has 97% of its military assets in Ukraine.

It is the perfect time for the mercenaries to attack Putin’s forces.

Putin will have two choices, lose Ukraine or lose Russia.

In either case, his naked aggression in Ukraine has failed.

Perhaps we should support the Wagner mercenaries.

He has less then 10% of his forces in Ukraine
 
If the Ukraine war ends, President Biden will get credit and MAGA will wet panties. They wanted the war to last to the 2024 election.
They don't care how many more innocent people would suffer.

That’s true for some of em for sure.
 
Russia is on the verge of total disintegration, as local elites scramble for an escape

This is the beginning of the end for Vladimir Putin. That may seem an odd thing to say when he is in command of nearly five million armed men in various police, military and paramilitary units. A mutiny by 25,000 mercenaries a thousand miles away might appear, at first glance, to be a minor irritant.

But that is not how autocracies work. Putin’s power rests on projection, on propaganda, on the image of invincibility. Now, all of a sudden, the curtain is being snatched back, revealing the Wizard of Oz as a small, mediocre, frightened man.

You really think a force of 25,000 is going to take over Russia?

The Nazis couldn’t do it with 3.5 million troops but ok

No, it will be interesting to see what divisions join him, like what ended Russias involvement in WWI. 25,000is plenty if others refuse to fight.
 
Last I checked Putin was at a 71% approval rating

There is no indication of a civil war

80%, according to the link, but the appearance of support is deceiving. The power structure under Putin may be crumbling. Something I hadn't heard before is Putin has just half of the nuclear codes; others are held by generals not necessarily under his control at the moment.
 
The story being told is Prigozhin claims to believe the Russian ministry of defense has betrayed Russia's armed forces (bad leadership, lying about the war, treating Russiana like cannon fodder, not executing the war properly) and it looks like Prigozhin has delusions of being the leader of a nationalist political movement.

There is also chatter, that Putin had a plan to use Prigozhin as the fall guy, if, in the end Russia was forced to retreat and lost the war.

In a loss (perceived failure) someone would have to be blamed and publically fed to the citizens as the fall guy, and while many hardliners would want that to be Putin, Putin wants to make sure there is other red meat to point at.


So if Prigozhin, was forseeing the possible end of the war, and a Russia retreat, even if not a horrible loss for Russia, he might be acting proactively to try and weaken Putin and ensure he is the fall guy, and not him.

Not hard to imagine, even if Prigozhin and Russia pulled off some miracles and just ended the war now in the same position they started it with, that inside Russia they would still need a head to roll, since the initial expectation was complete and quick domination. Someone has to pay for that.

I read Putin has fled Moscow.

Russia was fighting for its very existence. Same as a country near them is doing now.
They’re not now. At least not against a foreign power. Against themselves.
