Yes and I think that is the biggest event anyone alive has seen. Maybe biggest all time, it affected so many more people than anything from antiquity.

Dropping the nuclear bomb on Japan just a few months would rate higher.

It’s not but Russian media and disinformation channels/amplifiers will say it is, because a big part of being able to turn it off the coup is to discredit it in the eyes of Russian citizens. 

you just contradicted yourself.  support in anyway is involvement.

With the Putin regime possibly crumbling and the hilarity of rich dumb fucks imploding in the middle of the ocean, this is one of the best off-season weeks ever.

I was being extremely facetious in quoting the creator of Dilbert as an example of “good analysis”, @troph.

X posting from CR

 

The where about of Russian VVS is a good question. Answers range from: 

1. Putin doesn’t want to use them because it’s a terrible look and shows he’s lost control. 
 

2. Prigozhin cut a deal and they are standing down. 
 

3. In the chaos and with the vertical of control in Russian command structures, they are just confused and waiting around like the military in 1991.

Anyone who says they know is lying. I kind of lean 3,1, 2 in order of probability but I also don’t have special info, just a feeling based on knowing Russia. 

As this goes on, I am moving 2 up my probability board. 

It’s 2.

We never sleep! Send us the third cup of coffee.

Sure but if the choice is having BOTH or just Gotti, you take just Gotti.

I have no illusions that Russia will finally turn the page and join the modern liberal world...  I think they'll just keep being a klepto-oligarchy that aims to be marginally palatable to western business interests so they can continue to exploit natural resources and peoples for ungodly wealth.

I wonder what doors this opens for us. Could we actually get away with taking out Pringles? Maybe wait until Putin is also dead. Then swoop in to secure all nuclear sites, send in UN peacekeepers all over the country and the ZPP…

With Putin out of the picture, and no clear leader, would the Russians on the UNSC possibly go along with that? Seems they would have quite a bit of incentive to do so.

The fact that Putin's private army of attack dogs that he has enabled to commit atrocities across Africa and Ukraine over the years (and elsewhere) is now turning on him in an amazing uprising is just wonderful to see.

Every time I hear Prigozhin talk, I am convinced that he grew up reading nothing but Russian translations of R.E.Howard Conan stories.

I hope that's true, but you could make a pretty strong case that in the past 10 years, the modern liberal world (India, Israel, Turkey, America, the UK) is turning away from the modern liberal world.

locodos, I think I misunderstood you.  I thought you were saying you knew Russia would join liberal democracies, but I just reread your post and you were saying the opposite.  My bad.  Too late to edit, unfortunately.

So why doesn’t Biden get on the phone and cut a deal with Putin. We launch a bunch of tomahawks from the North Sea, destroy these Wagner nuts and Putin withdraws from Ukraine. Putin puts a media blackout in it and claims the Russian navy did it. Plus he can blame the Ukraine withdrawal on Pringle’s to save face. Al sorts of folks will know exactly what happened but so what? US denies it and claims it had no subs in the North Sea.

Um, you know I don't think its a great idea to take Putin at his word.  But maybe that's me.
