The War in Russia

[tower912]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Putin is still the bad guy in all of this.   But I sure don't see a good guy.

[Scoop Snoop]

You pretty well covered it Tower. Russia could end up going from the frying pan into the fire when this all shakes out.

[dgies9156]

The last time Russia got into a stupid war (Afghanistan), they ended up with Gorbachov and the start of the velvet revolution.

Putin may be the end of Russia as we know it.

[The Sultan]

I think Putin's done. Apparently the Russian security forces aren't resisting as Wagner makes its way to Moscow.

At least he has Tucker on his side.  He's a kingmaker

[JWags85]

I'm not entirely sure this isn't a psyop/false flag.  Especially since allegedly Progozhin doesn't have an issue with Putin, just his lead generals.

[The Sultan]

Putin supposedly has fled Moscow.

[tower912]

Possible.  That would be some next level stuff.   Have Wagner purge the ineffective generals and take over the war.

I think the messaging would be a lot different. And I think Putin would realize that he is now beholden to someone else.

Not ruling it out, but Progozhin has been stating that "Russia will soon have a new President".

Seems the invasion of Ukraine wasn't actually "genius" and "savvy".

[forgetful]

I'm not sure that this is remotely a good thing.

Progozhin is even more of a warmonger. I wouldn't rule out him using tactical nukes or something like that.

Also, wouldn't rule out a false flag type psyops. Maybe Progozhin rebelling, seizes weaponry, unleashes tactical nukes on Ukraine, and then Putin takes him out saying he was a terrorist.

Don't see any good coming out of this. Hope I'm wrong.

[tower912]

There is no good there.

Putin was at least a rational actor. Until he wasn't....

Did he take the pee-pee tapes with him?

This is my fear, Putin is crazy, Prigozhin might be crazier.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

There's some evidence Lukasenko may have fled Belarus.  His plane landed in Turkey after flying over Russian airspace with the transponders off.  He has not been sited in Turkey yet so it could be something else.

[jesmu84]

Coup called off. It's too nice outside for a coup

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Did not see "call off coup against murderous dictator half-way through" coming.

Surely Putin won't hold a grudge, will he?

[GB Warrior]

This ceasefire is unequivocally a good thing as Prigozhin or anyone aligned with him would have been worse than Putin.

That said, my broken brain is disappointed that it ended so uneventfully

[tower912]

Progozhin had better have a food taster and had better never go to an upper floor again.

[Lennys Tap]

Did he take the pee-pee tapes with him?

He sent them to Adam Schiff. Big reveal on MSNBC tonight.

Would be MSNBC's highest-rated show ever!

Prigozhin organized his retirement plan. Dude is gonna be sitting on a massive pile of cash in Belarus.

You might think this is over...but I sure as Hell don't.
