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

What about the Russian troops that supposedly joined Wagners column?

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.

Follow Mr. Putin's plane here:
Flightradar24 is great btw. The app also has augmented reality and also 3D view of planes as they fly. Amazing stuff, and the playback is great. For example you can see Putin’s plane as it returns to Moscow, it had a near steady drop from 24,000 to landing without a change in descent angle, probably to avoid any level flying and being shot at.

They're building a camp for 8000 Wagner troops in Belarus, 200 klicks from the Ukraine border.
Things that make you go hmmmm....
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The Wagner 'Coup' Was Staged by Putin
By now, everyone has heard about the narrowly avoided coup in Russia: Last Friday night, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, one of Putin's most trusted allies and the commander of the notorious Russian mercinary Wagner Group, marched on Moscow in an apparent coup d'etat, only to come to a swift agreement with Vladimir Putin and decamp for Belarus. While most commentators acknowledged that things didn't quite add up, the "expert" class happily concluded that at least it had weakened Putin in his war against Ukraine.
None seemed to realize the obvious truth: The coup was staged, and completely faked false flag operation.
Think about it: An army invades Russia, race right up to Moscow, and no one gets hurt? With just a few thousand men, it achieved what Hitler with almost a million men wasn't able to? And Putin holds his military back? And then, with Moscow supposedly within his grasp, Prigozhin decides, "Oh well, never mind" and heads to Belarus?
Prigozhin would have had to be an idiot or suicidal to think that with 8,000 men he could invade Moscow. Yet Prigozhin is very smart man, a juvenile delinquent turned convict, then hot dog salesman, then CEO of a multi-million dollar catering business serving the Kremlin, to finally commander of the world's most formidable mercenary force. It is utterly implausible that Prigozhin thought that he could take on Rosgvardia, Russia's National Guard, a 340,000-strong domestic security force reporting directly Putin.
