Russia accuses mercenary boss of mutiny after he says Moscow killed 2,000 of his men

Russia accused mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin of calling for an armed mutiny on Friday after he alleged, without providing evidence, that the military leadership had killed 2,000 of his fighters and vowed to stop what he called its "evil".

This could be fun. He has an army, and it’s better than their army. Putin had better stay in his bunker.

The Russian military used to be considered the second strongest in the world.

Since 2022, it has been clear that it's in fact the second strongest in Ukraine.

And now we note that it's the second strongest in Russia.

 

[hurtinbuckaroo]

Maybe third in Ukraine.

It will be more fun when there's solid evidence that this is real.
So far, it could all too easily be sophisticated psyop to get Ukraine to do something stupid.

A couple of days will probably tell.

Makes me wonder if the shelling was meant to kill Prigozhin.

Yeah, I'm not buying this.

I'm not giving up hope, though.

Maybe God really is up there in Heaven smiting evildoers.

Obligatory posting of Beau's take on this;



"Possible, kinda likely, scale up for debate, but not 100% confirmed at this time."

Will the Prigster's guys attack someone? Sounds kinda fantastical.

 

[ZiprHead]

Supposedly Prigozhin has been stepping up attacks on Russian Military command for weeks now.

Wagner claims to have shot down a Russian helicopter...

Whatever happens, remember that it was all part of the plan and Russia is doing everything right.

Again, this may be just another ploy to throw Ukraine off. There's so many ways this can go. Maybe...

He's trying to assert control over the war. He's trying to extract his private army out of a losing proposition. He's trying to topple Pooty and become the next guy.

Can a few tens of thousands of mercs overthrow Putin's regime? Eh...

Can he sink the "special military operation" by pulling out?

That's a distinct possibility. Vlad can't pull a "win" out of his ass without Wagner's help. Prigozhin has quite bit of leverage here...if that's what's really happening.

Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.

The truth is impossible to figure out with all of this. That it is even a discussion, however, implies the Ukrainian annexation is a tad bit behind schedule.

A lot of MAGAtard forums are currently saying this is Dark Brandon distracting "us" from Hunter's slap on the wrist.

Well, he’s a fucking genius. Who also happens to be senile.
