25,000 heavily armed and deeply battle hardened mercenaries against a draftee army hating the war and Putin? At the same time the Ukraine is starting the offensive to reclaim their territories?
heh heh
my impression is that the Ukranian counter-offensive was not going terribly well up to this point. this might all be a stroke of luck for Zelensky

Those screaming about all the authoritarianism Under Biden might want to take note of what actual authoritarianism looks like.
They love it as long as their team is doing it, anti Authoritarian Ifail is the perfect example.

I wonder if Russians would trade their current situation for having to wear a mask in a movie theater for a few months?
Russia had covid restrictions as well, facts have no impact on red pill induced mental illness.

If this is true Prighozin received an offer from Moscow. The oligarchs aren't very happy right now. This could also be Russia trying to focus attention away from whatever they are up to.
my first thought is that it's some kind of trick.

The Russians cheat at chess.

Something about this whole thing suddenly doesn't pass the smell test.

So...looks like it's over? Wagner PMCs to be absorbed into RFU, Prigozhin exiled to Belarus where he will be strangled in his dacha at a later date, war continues, etc.. This has probably been the shortest civil war in Russian history (there's a first time for everything.)

Meanwhile, Russia Today is claiming the Ukrainian counter-offensive isn't going well.
According to the Western assessments, Russian lines of defense have been proving well-fortified, making it difficult for Ukrainian forces to breach them. In addition, Russian forces have had success bogging down Ukrainian armor with missile attacks and mines and have been deploying air power more effectively.


Ukrainian forces are proving “vulnerable” to minefields and Russian forces “competent” in their defense, one of the Western officials said.

The officials cautioned that the counteroffensive is still in its early stages – and that the US and its allies “remain optimistic” Ukrainian forces will be able to make territorial gains over time. The US and its allies are likely to wait until at least July for a fuller assessment of the progress of the counteroffensive which was gradually launched over the last few weeks and is seen as crucial to determining who ultimately wins the war which was launched when Russia invaded last year.
Hope springs eternal. We're always One Trick away from defeating Russia - switchblades, HIMARS, F-16s, stand-off weapons, etc[1]

Lol yeah, it’s over and all back to normal.
what happens to your mercenaries when they stop making mercenary wages and lose their mercenary leader.

Bellarus is the last place a guy on the run from Putin would exile to, so there’s that.
