Such a historic event, it feels like it happened like two days ago.

Most anticlimactic coup attempt ever. The writers were setting up some amazing twist and then they subverted it right when it got good. It's like we live in the last season of Game of Thrones.

Prigozhin rolls the worst coup attempt in history
Ask to leave to Belarus

If the Russians can't even reach Moscow, we should give Napoleon some slack.

Truly one of the rebellions of all time.

Imagine if Caesar crossed the Rubicon
But instead of taking rome just did nothing and returned to Gaul and everyone pretended like nothing happened

i love that the peace condition is “turn around”

[leog]

It quickly went from "Kiev in two weeks" to "Moscow in two days"

Imagine if tno lore was written like this. Himmler: I’m going to March on germania! *captures aachen, begins marching on germania* mousilini: hey don’t do that. Come to Italy instead. Himmler: ok

What a weird moment. Even the Russians felt confused by this whole debacle.

Very large scale rebellion. Incredible changes

[JustMe-emhl]

Kinda crazy that a man that used to sell hot dogs got that close to overthrowing the Russian government.

When you get super drunk, but then get sober right outside Moscow.

To paraphrase someone I can't remember from the internet "Prigozhin legit woke up and said to himself “I'm gonna do the funniest thing in human history”."

This was the second most aggressive retirement/pension negotiation in human history.

Dang, I had missed that the convoy had gotten that close to Moscow. For some reason I thought they barely left Rostova-on-Don and were only _threatening_ to march on Moscow.

People treat Wagner as if they are fools, and they might be, but could we for a moment appreciate the fact that they covered a thousand kilometers in a single day? I mean, that IS quite a thing.

"mom can we have Napoleon?"
Mom : we have Napoleon at home.

Biggest tragedy here is Tigerstar lost out on a longer video opportunity

I truly appreciate the amount of effort that was put in this video! I imagine this took several days!
