Russian coup?

[RblDiver]

Hard to believe anything out of the area, but the current reporting is that a coup may be on in Russia, led by Wagner, the mercenary company, who claimed that Russian forces attacked their (Wagner's) position deliberately.

Sounds more like they're trying to overthrow the Russian generals, not necessarily Putin/FSB, but *shrug*

Whenever Wagner is mentioned, I never know if it is the composer or the equipment dealer.

Oh, look! Vladimir FINALLY has a legitimate excuse to demonstrate his precious TACNUKES without committing a war crime! This'll be interesting.

Was this guy in charge?

Depending on how successful Wagner is in their offense, and how far they're willing to go, this could legitimately lead to Russian use of nukes (as Clint stated).

While internal at this point, once the first nuke goes off, it could cause an uncontrolled chain reaction for many more nukes being used - and not just internal to Russia.

Watching how this unfolds closely.

MSM says Putin took his Command & Control aircraft to a bunker in Valdai. Reports are that vacationing Russians are glued to cellphones and laptops.
NRO just launched a Delta IV heavy. Quiet skies here right now.

Appears as though the "coup" had ended.

The chief of Wagner has stopped his advance on Moscow and is backing away from further aggressive activity.

I think that Prigozhin guy should stay away from tall buildings for a while.

I think that Prigozhin guy should stay away from tall buildings for a while.

Probably why he went to Belarus.

More danger of falling through a thatched roof than falling off one.
