Via Zerohedge and Ukraine controlled media I have fuller version of Prigozhin’s original call to arms—which he now says wasn’t really that: Those, who destroyed today our guys, who destroyed tens, tens of thousands of lives of Russian soldiers will be punished.
Apparently there is some fighting going on inside Russia itself (a few helicopters shot down and airstrikes against Wagner convoy). Wagner captured and pushed through Voronezh, which is halfway between Rostov (which they also occupy) and Moscow.
Needless to say these are the sorts of “weird” events that can spiral out of control in very unexpected and consequential directions… including world wars. Remember how the first one started?
I thought that something like this would be closer to the fall, but rather already in the fall and always against the backdrop of new defeats at the front. . . Prigozhin's actions are a real stab in the back and cannot be perceived differently by me. Not to mention the fact that his possible rise to power will immediately cause:
- rebellion in Chechnya and the beginning of the 3rd Chechen campaign (inevitable);
- a very likely collapse of the front and the enemy's invasion of the Crimea, the fall of Donetsk and Lugansk;
- the beginning of the process of disintegration of the Russian Federation;
- A short, but very dirty and bloody period of the "dictatorship of the Latin American model." Without rules and without laws - according to criminal "concepts".
It is his view that this is not an instance of a single individual (Prigozhin) going rogue, but rather a wider power struggle that reaches all the way up to the presidential administration.
I believe the Two Alexes. Prigozhin has gone full postal, and unless Putin deals with him with extreme prejudice, this could turn very nasty for the Russians.
“MILITARY CHECKPOINTS ARE REPORTEDLY BEING SET UP IN CERTAIN SWANKY AREAS OF MOSCOW (New Riga and Rublyovka), AND ALSO IN ROSTOV. I cannot independently confirm this report but it is all over Russian-language Telegram. Could be a space lizard psyop. BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE.”

Prigozhin been walking a tight rope for awhile. Putin finally closed his mouth.

Thanks for the update on this bizarre development.
Cocaine and Hard Alcohol got the best of Prigozhin.
It's understandable knowing the amount of death and destruction he's been a part of in real time.
I hope he gets the help he needs but I suspect he'll die of insanity
