What a shit show. Number 2 military in the world.

6000 nuclear warheads in Russia. Chew on that for a while.

Empty Russian transport planes arrive in Belarus. Troop movements? Putin called Lukashenko this morning, maybe for reinforcements.

Speak coherently?

[Jon]

Seems unlikely. He’s a dead man if he does that.

Where are the Chechens in all of this? They have a pretty large force there as well…

Siding with Poots.

[Mik]

Ok, so the brass agree to resign. Who replaces them?

In their barracks. Nothing would precipitate a mass revolt faster than Putin calling on the Chechens to kill ethnic Russians to save his sorry ass. You have no idea how Chechens are hated throughout Russia.

Am sure he’ll be quite safe from the Kremlin and FSB in Belarus.

Riiiight.

[LuFins Dad]

What about the Russian troops that supposedly joined Wagners column?

It’s hard to fathom why he agreed to this. If you shoot at the king….,

@Mik

They made him an offer he couldn’ t refuse after they made clear to him what was going to happen to his immediate family members, the Wagner officer corps and the majority of his troops if he didn’t.

He knows very well that some day they will come for him anyway. He is a dead man either way.
