Russian government officials are demanding that the Russian mercenary Wagner group stand down and return to their barracks having begun to march to Moscow at the behest of their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin has been at loggerheads with Russia’s official political and military leadership for months, often criticizing not just the strategy in Ukraine but also the enrichment of Russia’s elite at a cost of many lives on both sides.

quote:

As of Friday evening, EST, Russian Joint Forces Deputy Commander General Sergey Surovikin demanded Wagner Group to stop their “rebellion” against Moscow, and detain their leader.

Reports also suggest Russian forces have surrounded a Wagner Group headquarters, and that other elements of the mercenary army have breached the Russian borders from Ukrainian territory.

This story is developing.



Interesting...

We'll see how this turns out, but so far it has appeared that this is all theater, used to provoke the Ukrainians to assume weak points on the Russian side, bait them into moving / attacking, and then they get crushed. But, we shall see how this develops.

There's no way they make it to Moscow if the military doesn't support them. They'll use heavy bombers on them if they need to. This has no chance without the flip.

If this is true, he’ll be dead soon. No way Putin can allow him to live after this.

He’s not getting to Moscow without a significant part of the Russian military either joining him or refusing to man their stations.

The state has the ability to wipe these columns out wholesale in a matter of minutes. But you need loyal troops who have bought into the system to do so.

Nothing about what we’ve seen thus far from the Russian military inspires confidence they’ll take up arms to kill their fellow countrymen for the Moscow regime. They’ve barely shown an interest in killing the Ukrainian “Nazis”

Really interesting. Thanks for posting. Hopefully this war can stop. Pointless loss of life. And stupid amount of US dollars being spent.

What a failure of leadership. Russia is teetering on becoming a third world country.

It would be good for a Russian Napoleon to emerge.

I honestly think we should postpone the college World Series a couple days to be safe. You never know. It could be a target.

It's been a third world country, that happens to have nukes, for many decades.
