I put forward this theory many pages back on page 2920 and on 2930

Ask yourself the question "why today"? Why in the middle of the Ukrainian Offensive did a supposed ultra-nationalist like Prigozhin decide to declare war on the Russian MOD.

Remember, In the last couple of weeks Ukraine invaded Belogord and started an aggressive probing attack in the south, Russia has had to move troops to respond so they are already weaker in the rear than they were 3 weeks ago.

Now Wagner goes on a rampage in Russia causing Russia to further weaken their lines to respond. The Rosgvardiya (Russian national guard) can't stand up to Wagner on the battlefield. That's like the Oklahoma national guard (no offense to anyone in the OK NG) going up against the 101st.

Look for the real punch to come from Ukraine soon.

The more I think about this, my confidence level increases that Ukraine co-opted Wagner.

2930
Expanding on my theory that Wagner was compromised...Ukraine sent the Free Russia Corps into Belogord so that Prigozhin could offer to relocate Wagner there. When he wasn't allowed to do that (Possibly because the MOD already sensed something) he takes Rostov instead. Had he been allowed to relocate to Belogord then perhaps the plan was for the Free Russia Corps to join with him for a run on Moscow.

It all fits together, but we may never know if I'm full of shite or right.

Either way it was a win-win situation for Ukraine.

If it is true then it poses the question as to where he might be heading to take refuge, one of the Stans? Iran? China?

I read something that said Iran also called this an “internal affair” for Russia, so who knows

I would like to pause for a moment and pay respects to probably the worst track record for anything, ever.

don't believe the lack of resistance is down to some mass revolt at this point, though that possibility remains, it is more likely Russian's inability to respond to unexpected changes at ground level effectively meaning the troops just don't know WTF to do.


My nephew who lives in Moscow and was mobilized is a doctor who was exempt from military conscription and has never fired a gun in his life. He was pulled from his apartment last night, put in a van, dropped off a checkpoint outside of Moscow and given a uniform and a rusty AK. I have talked to him since then and he said most of the "soldiers" at the checkpoint with him are like him. I would imagine that the lack of resistance is due to the fact that the Russian troops sent to face Wagner are not actually soldiers.

There are some pretty funny takes in the early parts of this thread. Lots of Putin is a genius, this is all Biden's fault, Ukraine will roll over instantly chatter.

You can pretty much count on the exact opposite of whatever Stidham posts.

I don't think the timing was that organized.

wagner was stockpiling weapons and ammo and the Russian MoD started catching on. A few months ago they started tightening supplies to Wagner and trying to replace Wagner leadership, so Prigozhin set his plan in motion.

Of course the idea that Bakhmut could have been a decoy while Wagner and Ukraine worked out a deal is pretty interesting to consider.

Most of Russia’s actual soldiers are hundreds of miles away in Ukraine. I don’t think there is very much between this Wagner column and Moscow. At least not much with the level of milt training and experience as the Wagner forces have.
