Wagner has seized Russia’s southern military hq in Rostov. With tanks.
Equivalent to Blackwater Inc. taking San Diego.
Gonna be a Tom Clancy weekend.

Seems that Wagner either wins and takes over russia, or loses and ceases to exist as a private army, or whatever they are.
And I've been contemplating how they can exist as a private army in the first place. They seem to have nation-level munitions.

They were leading the charge with penal battalions*** in Bakhmut. So I guess the Russian miliary decided they needed artillery, and air defenses.
Now the air defenses are being used against Russian attack helicopters IN Russia. This is nuts.
*** This sounds like something out of Warhammer 40k

I thank Twitter for reminding me that Steven Seagal lives in Moscow.

The very short coup is now over after "a deal was reached".
Well, that was uneventful.

Seriously tho, wtf was that?? From a thunder run to Moscow, half a dozen helicopters (and a bunch of civilians) getting blown up, and it all just wraps up with a bow and Prigozhin getting exiled to Belarus, all in 24 hours.
Wonder if we’ll ever know what really happened?

Whomever came up with "the mayfly mutiny" to describe the whole Russia-Wagner thing deserves a raise.

NYT reporter still held in Russia. Evan's first mistake was going to Russia. His second mistake was not being born a black lesbian basketball player or Biden would have traded Thanos to get him returned by now.

Too bad there isn't a union to bust that Biden needs to rescue another American to distract from.

Russian talking shit about the U.S.
He's not completely wrong, but he's also nowhere near right either.

Russian drone strikes have pissed off Romania.
Also, tensions between Belarus and Poland are rising thanks to Belarus not respecting the border. Poland is amping up their border presence. If Poland gets into this, then NATO does...

Man, I really hope this is sarcasm. If not, I would pay money to watch this genius attempt to disable a Russian tank.
