Now Alito has been busted for taking a luxury fishing trip with a GOP mega donor. There seems to be a pattern emerging.
I flipped over to CNN just to see what’s up…so Russia accuses somebody of a coup and that person is like “nah you attacked me wtf?” Is that right?
Is this something where Putin would either a) use a nuke against the rebellion because he doesn't care about the collateral damage of his own people? b) one side or the other accidentally hits the button for a nuke aimed at the U.S.? The latest report is they're advancing towards the capital, and you know Putin is going to throw everything, even crazy things, at them to prevent that from happening.
I wonder if all this public bitching from Wagner about having no ammo was them stockpiling ammo. Supposedly 97% of Russia's troops are deployed to Ukraine. Wagner has 25k troops are looking to be pushing in for a fast blitz.
So they say. This situation stinks to high heaven. I don't believe for a second this is the end of it.
Fuckin blue balled man. Will definitly be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
Not by a long shot. But I don’t think there will be mercs fighting in the street. You have to think the behind the scenes shit going on is insane, and Putin might not be long in power.
I was thinking about this, trying to figure out what the plays behind the scenes are for this nonsense to make sense. I'm thinking either Prig wants more time to install his guys as MoD and Chief of Staff to secure a seamless transition when he does seize power - OR that he doesn't want to rule, he wants gobs of cash, and this was an effort to showcase his ability and get paid from Putin's endless and obscene wealth. Option 3, is both, he is drawing from Putin's wealth while he secures his own power.
A theory I just read suggests that this could have been a deal struck by the council with Prig against Putin.
This was a one way trip. I cannot imagine Putin being the type to say "no hard feelings" and let this embarrassment on the international stage just slide. Wagner dude is playing with his life from this point on.
