What's going on in Russia?

[George K]

I suppose this is related to the Ukraine War, but I'm reading lots of activity on Twitter about Prigozhin mobilizing troops in RUSSIA. I believe @Mik commented that he's blaming the war on Shoigu's misinformation and Putin is being kept in the dark.

I've even heard the words "Civil War" mentioned.

Don’t know what’s going there but it sounds interesting:

The Ukraine invasion will be studied for decades, if only as a cautionary tale.

Safe to say that Prigozhin is now
irredeemably on Putin’s naughty list.

After those comments? I'd say that's a safe assumption.

He should stay away from windows....

Nuts… Can Putin win without the Wagner troops?

[Mik]

He couldn't win with them, can't imagine without.

One wonders if there were perhaps any incentives from the west. Or he could have tired of seeing young Russians slaughtered with no reasonable chance of success.

The funny thing is some people actually think that is a possible scenario.

I wasn't laughing at the possibility of a civil war, but at the idea that the main reason for it was domestic US political soap opera concerns

Throws UKR offensive into uncertain territory. Are they fighting one enemy or two?
