What have the inhabitants of this world become! All for wealth and power yet we all will end up 6 feet

[Spaceballz]

The die is cast. Prigozhyn just crossed the Rubicon and is marching towards rome.

*What a time to be ALIVE* ... Wow this is an event that will be in the history books

[kaziuniek]

So Prigozhin liberated Rostov in just one day, what a hero!

[loveartandtravel]

It seems now Prighozin has his own special military operation, but against putin.😅

America’s reaction: *UNBRIDLED LAUGHTER/FREE-WHEELING GUFFAWS*
Ukraine’s reaction: *REDACTED*

😂😂😂
Putin 2022: i will take Kiev in 3days
Putin 2023: i have only 3 days to defend Moscow

[netshareventures]

Russia will never be the same again after this.

[franknorth]

So does this still make Putin a “genius”?

Asking for a friend.

[jankowalyk]

Putin can always ask the Ukrainians for military help.

[jankauffmann]

Where are all the Putin loving Africans that normally praise Putin's as their hero, they are so silent today😂

[hopethebestalways]

The beast once loyal just turned on its master

how do i move chat to the right of screen

[PopularesVox]

This seems a extraordinary slow coup, normally such things happen within 24 hours. But day 1 and there is still little sign of military engagement.

[trinadugger]

Topple military..but doesn't mention putin??

[jasminerichardson]

They are taking this without resistance. War is not the same as it was. People are aware that having “loyalty” to a country that uses you as pawns is stupid.

[emon]

The only thing I'm concerned about is the nukes.

[olahellasnews]

Prigozhin got payed off but soon he will not need that money.

[jankowalyk]

Bakhmut has not gave up for 10 months. Rostov taken within 10 hours. Who would now believe that Russia is “strong and big”?

[notowar]

How did we get here and why? Who's profiting from this war?
