There are supplies for an entire Division at Rostov as well as the Black Sea HQ.

The big question is how much of the Russian military will join up with Wagner. There are lots of veterans who detest this shitshow of Russian strategy and tactics and corruption

Reported clash between Wagner and Russian forces near Rostov



Can anyone explain the significance of Wagner going to Rostov-on-don?




1. It is a major logistical point for supplies moving to Ukraine.

2. The Southern Military District headquarters is in Rostov which is where the Russian military leaders running the war in Ukraine are.

is there confirmation of this Wagner coup attempt or whatever it is or is this still very speculative? I’m still catching up.

I don't believe you, obviously. But I try not to shy away from self assessment - so what's the "drift" and what you think I need to "detox" from?

Seeing conflicting reports with the same video

Either Russian regulars or Wagner are outside of the Southern Military District HQ in Rostov with tanks and all thar jazz

Eta

If it is Wagner it's about to get a whole lot more interesting

If it is Wagner they got there pretty fast, there couldn't have been much resistance.

The most direct route from their border crossing spot earlier today is 84km. Thats a long way to go in a pretty short time for a military convoy under combat conditions.

Here's another video showing large numbers of Wagner troops entering the HQ of the Southern Military District in Rostov.

my suggestion would be a detox from politically focused news/opinion/social media/etc. just backing away from it all for a mental rest and reset. I’ve offered my thought. Think about it in another moment or don’t.

No need to derail the thread any longer. That is my fault.

That's pretty damn impressive since it took them a year to take Bakhmut

Ehh... have to disagree w/you there.

We've supported way too many POS dictators under Republican Presidents for a variety of reasons for that to be true at all.

Are there any curated YouTube types to follow that aggregate this stuff in real time and discuss it?

Lots of people are pointing out that it's clear that a number of Russian military units have either joined with Wagner or are at least disinclined to fight them.

Again, whether Wagner has calculated properly is hard to tell, but it's clear that this is a well-planned operation that they are conducting.
