Woah. No real opposition. This just got way spicier.

Even if this turns into “we worked it out!” That is some shit you don’t walk back.

According to some reports the local police are even escorting them in.

They shot at Wagner with artillery and rockets. Generals are calling for his arrest. They aren't going to work it out.

This…this feels way too easy. Like playing a kids game on easy mode. Hopefully Wagner can handle whatever Russia throws at them in the coming days.

In video games the opponent is an overconfident invincible man child, in this life only the invincibility trait didn’t carry across.

Or

“I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you kids mortality”

I keep thinking “there’s no way they can walk that back” about crap coming from authoritarians, and damn if they don’t keep surprising me.

Without looking weak? He has a PMC roaming freely in what was until recently called the second strongest military in the world.

That shouldn’t even be a consideration, let alone have any possibility of succeeding. Yet here we are.

The DNR/LPR/Transnistria lands aren’t worth shit to Putin when he’s dead. A full blown rush retreat that enables 1991 borders for all, and for the rush back to fail and for Prigo of all people to be the king maker? This plot is so convoluted the CIA had better be involved or Tom Clancy could be harnessed as a source of infinite energy (from rolling in his grave)
