Here is my monkey hunch on what's going on with Wagner in Russia, just to put it on the record in case I'm right when the dust settles.
Wagner were bought off by NATO, and there was a pre-existing plan for Wagner to launch a coup against Putin when Russia was on the backfoot.
However, with the counteroffensive failed, but the US unwilling to take the "L" on anything, they activated the Wagner coup in desperation.
They have another coup planned for Belarus if you think this is farfetched
@Tfmonkey I really did admire Prigozhin before this: he was a street criminal that served almost 10 years in prison who got his shit together to becoming on the most wealthiest and powerful men in Russia. Now he has to die
@Mike_Microwave @Tfmonkey if this was not a thing to bait nato like i assumed. then this guy has to be absolutely fukin retarded. being at the precipiss of the glory of being one of the top to cuck and devastate globohomo but throwing it away ...... once a retarded criminal always a retarded criminal.... so fukin dumb. now he will be deleted , worse deleted silently poof gone like hunterrs pamason cheese
@ButtWorldsMan Yes, his recent statements about Ukraine winning and Russia abandoning the troops can now be seen for what they were.
The Wagner Heresy was phase 2 of the counter offensive.
Purge the Heretics. Show no mercy.
@ButtWorldsMan It is unfortunate for Russia because this will allow NATO to regroup and perhaps attack the nuclear power plant as Russia is distracted.
You have to hand it to NATO for really leaning into being the bad guy.
@ButtWorldsMan I'm not pretending to have any inside information about the current situation.
I'm judging the situation based on what's been going on for a while and what makes sense.
@Tfmonkey nothing wrong with a monkey hunch.
@Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan Turns out it was just a show to get workers rights.
If it were a coup, escalation of violence would have already started wherever Wagner stepped on.
His vendetta against the Russian MoD almost got him and his men killed. Prighozin is unhinged.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey Link to tweet or you gay
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey Sometimes you don't ask shit and you just get maskirovka'd out of nowhere.
@Tfmonkey another confirmation this wasn't a gay op and planned in advance, to the point where it was predicted to happen.
The soldiers who have been fighting alongside Wagner are understandably confused, and this whole event shows the danger of relying on mercenaries in a war.
Sadly, Putin has to utterly crush Wagner now. A traitor is worse than an enemy.
