"Confusion reigns and n Russia. The mayor of Moscow announces the implementation of "anti-terrorist measures" in the city with the aim of "strengthening security".
It certainly is a far cry from the first 100 pages of this thread with all sorts of Russians trolling Ukrainians laughing at their deaths and calling them kokals or whatever the slur is."Confusion reigns and n Russia. The mayor of Moscow announces the implementation of "anti-terrorist measures" in the city with the aim of "strengthening security".

While I mostly agree with you, I kept tabs on the 24 hour cable news channels and CNN go all in on it for a solid hour at least.Twitter is breaking news. I came home after work and not one freaking network was covering it. Nothing. Twitter is filled with real time video captures and people know how to geolocate the footage to confirm locations. Twitter is where I get my news. Best source out there, hands down.
I am trying to determine what is the best outcome. If prigozhin prevails, will he end the war in Ukraine or conduct it more effectively?His comments on the dead opened my eyes. It may be the official numbers Ukraine uses are right. “Up to a 1,000 a day”
I just can’t see a seemless transition here….I have to think if this is successful Prigozhin will be more concerned with consolidating power than carrying on this war….which led to this situation.I am trying to determine what is the best outcome.

Turn on Faux News. It’s an epic Biggrey fap fest.Wow. This is one hell of a distraction from Hunter that the Biden Administration has come up with.
I finally took the step of putting almost all of them all on ignore. And by them I mean probably 2 guys with 15 different handlesTurn on Faux News. It’s an epic Biggrey fap fest.
The other networks are slowly turning to live content and studio generals talking. I think most networks scaled back their reporters in the war zone, but are deploying them and hitting up independent stringers this morning.
Agree. I have a hard time believing he survives this all the way but also believe it is really the beginning of the end for z Putin. And who ever is next has to know withdrawal from Ukraine is a must to stabilize country and hold onto power.I just can’t see a seemless transition here….I have to think if this is successful Prigozhin will be more concerned with consolidating power than carrying on this war….which led to this situation.
I see that as buttering his toast both ways right now. These videos are meant for Russian public who may be turned off if there is talk of losing a war. He is trying to cause them to think he can be the one to save day. Pretty sure he know there is no way to win war.He talks about not interfering with the war in his video. He may want to conduct it more efficiently and ensure supplies are given to all troops, hence talking clearly about refuseniks. He could be bad for Ukraine if he gets his way as he may not believe in the sunk cost fallacy and wouldn’t want his troops to have lost their lives for nothing if the war is ended and Ukraine gets their land back.
Yep. Some ww1 lessons here.Agree. I have a hard time believing he survives this all the way but also believe it is really the beginning of the end for z Putin. And who ever is next has to know withdrawal from Ukraine is a must to stabilize country and hold onto power.
The amazing success so far, and foreshadowed by those excursions in Belogrod last month by the other group, really show how undefended Russia is. All the chips are in Ukraine.
Jesus, I step away from the Ukraine thread for 1/2 a day and there is a wagner uprising against Moscow? I had to skip 7 pages to current time and start working backwards!
If this is a false flag then I agree. This seems like a mob boss shootout though.If that’s really what is happening. Putin is capable of almost any form of false flag to bolster his power.
In one post I saw that those belograd incursion forces are “now” under prigozhin’s command. Makes me wonder if that was his own false flag operation to probe and see how far Wagner could go into Russia attacking Putin.Agree.

Prigozhin is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. He’s made his career bullying poor third world countries. UKR with NATO help would destroy his guys.I think Putin cuts a deal with Prigozhin and sacks Shoigu and Gerasimov.
I don’t like the idea of Wagner taking control of the military response against Ukraine.
I don’t think you get to be a Russian oligarch and talk shit about Putin and the war for months without falling down a flight of stairs unless you are one wily son of a bitch. With that being said, NATO would eradicate his forces pronto. But, to his credit, he has acknowledged that and how Ukraine itself now has one of the best armies in the world.Prigozhin is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is.

Maybe you both can STFU now?Sorry, hit a little close to home there huh nutjob? You think posting 100 hack posts a day gives you value? You’re a pathetic joke.
Goodnight.
It certainly can be, but you do have to be careful to verify information. It is also a very fast way to spread misinformation. But at least with breaking news, various organizations haven't had time to plan a systematic misinformation campaign with a focused message.Twitter is breaking news.
