He doesn't have 25k soldiers, that's total world wide most of them are in africa stealing gold mines, diamond mines and oil fieldsI dont understand why mr Pringle didnt take his 25,000 men to Belarus as well?
And how effecive is that army compared to the one he just gave up?
But the Belarusian army already refused to go to Ukraine for Lukashenko, what is Prigozhin gonna do to the army? tell them that if they don't go he's gonna get the army on them?The larger part of the army/population would not go willingly in to this endeavour but that might not count for much if Prigozhin was in a position to compel them by force.
It's obvious, Bake Off Vs GladiatorsI like that the Wagner forces used red Z's, now we have Russia Hollywood vs Russia Wolfpac
Be interesting to see how many get that reference...

Kremlin silent.
not much happened, everything is going according to plan..
edit: I forgot they all ran away from Kremlin. duh
This guy is pretty clued up when it comes to all things Russia so it's interesting he thinks we'll see something similar happen in 6 months
As people have questioned in the comments who would be performing this in 6 months time? some of the armed forces might have taken note but generally the response was lukewarm. Only the Chechens really have the forces and organisation to do it but they never seem to be around when there is real fighting to be done.
There's obviously more to it because as it stands, everybody has lost in this 2 day civil war, Putin looks weak and lost control of his grip on power, Prigozhin has lost Wagner exiled to Belarus, Shoigu is getting culled, none of it really makes sense and none of them are stupid, even invading Ukraine from their point of view wasn't stupid given the information they had at the time, yes it's stupid in hindsight but at the time, even in the West they were expecting Ukraine to fallAs people have questioned in the comments who would be performing this in 6 months time? some of the armed forces might have taken note but generally the response was lukewarm.

You're still working though so not everyone is offIt's just Sunday, people are taking a day off I imagine after the craziness of yesterday. That's how life works lol
Didn't you see the US senator warning Russia that one nuclear incident whether it be a tactical nuke or the reactor then NATO would destroy Russia.Unless putin gave prigozhin the codes (or allows him to break into the sites) for the tactical nukes he very handily moved to Belarus a few weeks ago. Prigozhin could then use them, Putin can say not us, it was the traitor in Belarus. Maybe the whole thing was to give putin plausible deniability? Worst case (to him anyway) Belarus cops it.
A variation of Hanlon's razor, "Never attribute to tactics that which is adequately explained by stupidity"There's obviously more to it because as it stands, everybody has lost in this 2 day civil war, Putin looks weak and lost control of his grip on power, Prigozhin has lost Wagner exiled to Belarus, Shoigu is getting culled, none of it really makes sense and none of them are stupid, even invading Ukraine from their point of view wasn't stupid given the information they had at the time, yes it's stupid in hindsight but at the time, even in the West they were expecting Ukraine to fall
Hes not doing **** with the Belarusian army, they refused to go in for Lukashenka, they are certainly not going in for PrigozhinLook at my previous post, he is going to take over Belarus. Use that army.

He made it clear that radiating Ukraine would blow back to NATO territory and would mean total destruction for them.
It was pretty much a serious threat to not go nuclear.
