Navalny doesn't have 25000 soldiers armed with artillery, tanks and air defense. Putin only understands power and violence and is responsive to it.

there are videos of fighting inside Rostov and explosion of vehicles on the highway. looks pretty much real.

Domino's pizza has opened in Pattaya, I thought I'd give them a try. They are currently selling their pizza at huge discounts, maybe 45% off or something, so I tried. It was meh, but for 260 baht including delivery I felt like at least I had not been robbed. Then I saw that they intend to sell that same pizza for 499 baht later. Cheeseburger fries and coke for 405 ... okay. if it's a good cheeseburger. From the pictures above I'd say I do better in my own kitchen, and they can't beat my burger sauce ???? haha

What this shows is that the Russian structures of power and their level of control are a complete clown show. Wagner's push to Moscow showed that many Russian security forces would not oppose such a move. Putin must have freaked out. Prigozhin was careful to only insult the military leadership, not Putin himself, and Putin seeing how little support is left among his own troops must have decided to keep Prigozhin maybe not as a friend, but as a non-enemy which may in future be motivated to help Putin again. Putin is weak, Moscow is weak. That's why Prigozhin gets to live to see another day. for now. Maybe it has also something to do with the Chechens. The first news about them was that a huge Chechen column was heading for Rostov and Kadyrov talking angrily about traitors, etc. And then the next news were about the first Chechens arriving in Rostov being "detained". Rostov's population was showing some support for Prigozhin, so I'm not sure how Putin-loyal Chechens shooting Russians in Russia would have worked out as a mental image with Russian people. If a match was needed to embraze everything, it could have been that. I guess Putin realized he had no other choice than to defuse the situation. I wonder if Prigozhin gets his wishes of Gerasimov and Shoigu being removed.

looks like they got a plan. Buturlinovka is another airbase. And Lipetsk has large airbase too.

I don't understand your comment

Russians are digging trenches ... in Moscow

I'm currently watching Operation Barbarossa 2.0 on Twitter and Reddit

there are bigger fish to fry, let's not divide Wagner's attention

the thing we don't know is how much of the military is or will be siding with Wagner. General Flustikov moved this morning to take over control of the Ministry of Defence headquarters on Frunzenskaya in Moscow. I doubt a lone general would do something like this, especially a Russian one. Flustikov was GRU, and GRU relations with Wagner are very friendly. Russia's National Guard, the "Rosgvardia" was created by Putin as a kind of Hitlerjugend. So I guess they will be loyal, but will they be ready to right veteran fighters ? it all looks like a large clusterf*ck

I'll add some more details for people who think Wagner is just soldiers and ground equipment. Do you remember Wagner had fighter pilots in this war ? Well, Wagner captured Taganrog Airbase and possibly (probably) Millerovo as well, meaning Wagner probably has access to fighter jets. So far, Wagner has reportedly shot down a Russian helo and a plane Wagner captured Russia's Southern Military District Headquarters and Commanders. If Wagner controls this district, it means it has access to a lot of assets, including strategic ones (nukes). They probably would be unable to detonate them, but Wagner has potentially already come into possession of nukes.

I suppose Russia feigned giving Lukashenko full control over nukes so they could threaten to strike Ukraine and then blame Lukashenko. I guess the situation is becoming too hot for him.

apparently Russian Air Force is bombing the M4 motorway between Voronezh and Moscow Russia Today's Telegram channel has apparently been shut down for "violating local laws"

Putin ally Lukashenko 'flees Belarus' as Wagner launches coup threatening Moscow https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1784011/lukashenko-flees-belarus-russia-coup

they seem to be past Voronezh already, according to social media posts, army and police didn't put up much resistance and rather let them through. they are rolling on the highway, transporting tanks on trucks. they are gunning it to Moscow ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag a false flag op is a specific kind of deception

who would be conducting that false flag operation with what goal ?

3000 employees is "huge" huh ?

2021: Russia has the 2nd strongest military in the world 2022: Russia has the 2nd strongest military in Ukraine 2023: Russia has the 2nd strongest military in Russia also: 2022: Putin: this is not a war, it's a special military operation 2023: Prighozin: this is not a coup, it's a special political operation

mind blowing. it's interesting to note that there are at least 3 factions: - FSB: hates GRU, Ministry of Defense and Wagner. not sure what military support the FSB has - GRU and Wagner share a base near Moscow, Russian SSO (Flustikov) was transferred from GRU to MoD. I think it's safe to say Flustikov is friendly to Wagner, otherwise what would be the "point" of securing headquarters ? - Ministry of Defense: supposedly Putin's faction, so it would also include Rosgvardia and we still haven't heard from the Chechens in the last couple of days

best answer

well, there is white people's food and then there is ... "modern" white people's food. I'm sure if these Chinese tried proper Italian, French and ... basically the whole continental Europe's cuisine (sorry Brits), they would like most of it too. what I see in these posts of the Chinese is food prepared by white people who either hate good food or can't cook or overdo the "healthy". Switzerland, Germany, and other countries are now full of people like that who eat strange food. and yeah, it's strange white people's food. well, yuck. when the Chinese are right, they are right.

my dad's cellar still has its moments. the Trois Rivières was from 1979, probably bought for around 20$ at the PX at the time.
