Let’s assume for the sake of discussion that Prig is attempting a coup and he is successful in short order. Then what? Does he take over? Put a puppet in place? Does Russia have an election (sham or otherwise)? Is this likely to end the conflict in Ukraine or just shift the Russian tactics?

I just haven’t been following closely enough to have any clue.


You could be the world’s foremost expert on this conflict and would still have no clue what happens next in the Prig is successful scenario.

This is the world turned upside down.

Who knows but can you imagine the punishment if the coup fails. They are going to the gulag for life

They think this is all part of the grand conspiracy to deflect from the hunter Biden story.

It is all main stream media's fault for promoting a minor story like a Russian Civil War instead of talking about Hunter Biden.

More than likely, they will all get shot if they are unsuccessful. That gives them zero reason to stand down.

Wagner war game is to reach Moscow as fast as possible "a la Tripoli" and decapitate Putin's regime before Shoigu and Putin have time to re-organize themselves.


Part of Putin's path to invading Ukraine was watching what happened to Qadaffi and becoming further terrified that the west would ultimately take him out like that and thus the process of insulating himself in a bubble where he only listened to sources that told him that the Ukrainian people consider themselves Russian and the Ukrainian government and military would fold easily. I don't think this event takes him out (but really who tf knows), but it's pretty clear he's weakened his security situation rather than strengthened it with all of his neo-colonialist nonsense.

Man what a 30+ page catch up this time.

Perfect time for a vacation and attempts to turn off. Get a news alert on my phone about Putin vowing to put down a mutiny and treason. *checks this thread* to see in over 30 pages behind on the coup frenzy.

Interesting the Chechens are reportedly going to intercept Wagner. When I first started catching up my thoughts were the opposite and wondering if the Chechens would try to capitalize chaos and multiple fronts for their own individualist gains.

Obviously, massive implications for Ukraine and Russia. Odds this May spark similar actions in Belarus?

Live footage of the Chechens meeting Wagner on the road to moscow. This is breaking stuff.

This is how you do it. The problem for Russia is Wagner knows how to do this and can not only sustain itself but actually improve its situation.

No telling what they picked up in Rostov and if they are draining the territories of equipment this is a long term operation and not "statement".

Other Chechens could indeed see this as an opportunity for revolt, but Kadryov HAS to fight for Putin, because his personal allegiance is the whole foundation of Kadryov's power base.

No Putin = likely death for Kadryov.

Seems extremely risky/reckless unless you have intel about who will and won’t resist.
