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

      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.

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

                  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.

                    Probably safe to assume that there was a lot going on that we may never know the extent of.

                      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.
