What we see in American news about Russia is very different from what is really going on in Russia .

Putin: note to self; using criminal like dirty dozen maybe bad idea.

if you go to google maps and turn on ''traffic mode'' you will see that 2 hours south of Moscow the road is blocked which means that Wagner convoy is 2 hours from the center of Moscow

Putin referenced what happened in 1917 in his speech.

So the US has nothing to do with it...right....

Just read that Putin left Moscow by plane a moment ago. Also, Chechnya convoy nearing Rostov to confront Wagner group.

*Minstrels play a new song of success: *

Brave Putin ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Prez Putin turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Prez Putin.

He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering off
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the

Wagner is a infantry force in trucks and troop carriers travelling along open terrain on hightways with some limited anti-aircraft weapons..
Travel along the routes wagner advances has to be restricted for civilians..and afterwards using helicopters and if needed fighter jets, convoys have to be chooped up to pieces...
Believe Russia still has enougt air assets to get the job done relativelly easily, only question is if the armed forces will remain loyal to Putin..

My god, the questions😂 ... Fine answers though

Putin's days as a strong man are done after this capitulation without a shot fired. Just the threat of the march to Moscow made him run and make a deal. So now how does he deal with Prigozhin who threatened to overthrow him? Anything less then death or jail will be seen as weakness in Russia. It's feeling more and more like Nicholas II in January/February 1917 before the revolution.

For the past year, Russia has been supplying arms and armor to the Ukraine. Now, Russian weapons don't even make it out of Russian hands before being used against Russia. 🤣

It's not overtly clear what the next moves might be. The on the ground situation remains extremely tense. Civil war in Russia could still happen. Prigozhin has declared that Ukraine and NATO are not a threat to Russia. This might even have been the view of the Russian military before the illegal war even started, as reports suggest parts of the Russian military were actually in support of the Wagner revolt. Prigozhin probably formed this view from information provided by either Putler's inner circle or the Russian military establishment. Thus the whole premiss behind the illegal invasion has collapsed. This war was most likely about Adolf Putler's political survival, in the context of Navalny political fallout. The only way a dictator can survive the fallout from their evil deeds, is to remain in power by even greater evil deeds (like starting a war) and often by manipulating public opinion and adopting harsh punishment for dissenting citizens. There is no other option for them, otherwise they are in dire straights. China is no longer backing Russia. They have agreed that Crimea belongs to Ukraine. The Chinese European Union Envoy indicated this last week. China appears to have given up on Russia as a failed state. Russia's biggest threat is actually China !!! They have fought over territory in the past. China wants to take Manchuria and Vladivostok back from Russia, which used be Chinese territory. 😂🤣🤪

It would be amazing if the prisoners of Russia, falsely accused, complete their coup and suddenly run the government… poetry.

[rafaelmadrigal]

Russia will never change. Keep that in mind.

The US accidentally gives Ukraine 6.2 billion and this happens….

lipetsk captured, wagner is now 460km from Moscow. Central administration for the war captured. Vasha is folding to the march of justice along the M4 highway.
