- Do it! -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 17:59

  - Most likely the Wagners are sent to the worst meat grind in Ukraine -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 15:02
  - I doubt morale improves moving the competent in with the incompetent. - TWuG Jun 24, 13:57 2
    - over the year russian command and control has improved, they now respond to targeting info as fast as the ukraines, they jam drone frequencies - zeitgeist Jun 24, 14:07
    - I don't think we can take anything Peskov's said seriously. -- nm - mud Jun 24, 13:58

  - I think he was still in East Berlin shitting his pants. -- nm - mud Jun 24, 14:24
It looked like Prigozhin had the advantage and had gotten the jump on the Russian army. Why give that up to go live in exile until he's assassinated? - Fuzzy Jun 24, 13:39 7
- He miscalculated. He thought he had a shot, but then all his allies came out against him. Knew he only had one way out that wasn’t a bloodbath. -- nm - mafic Jun 24, 19:29
- $$$ -- nm - Jovian Jun 24, 13:46

- You assume he’d live long enough to see Moscow. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 24, 13:41 3
  - And you know, it always works out to let the guy who tried to lead a revolution live out in exile. It never backfires. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 14:02 2
    - I assume that’s why Putin agreed to Belarus so Lukashenko could “keep an eye on him” -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 24, 14:28
    - Pute is reasonable dude, doesnt hold grudge. It is known. -- nm - mud Jun 24, 14:05
I'm imagining Lukashenko got on the blower to Prigozhin. - mud Jun 24, 13:30 1
- He still has the CAR diamond mines, so an income of a billion or so a year? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:31
So how long until Prigozhin gets poisoned? - Loyola Jun 24, 13:29 4
- exactly, and his troops -- nm - budice Jun 24, 13:31 3
  - Oh they need those troops. Vlad will install someone loyal or they'll be folded into the Russian Military -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:38 2
    - moving the Wagners into the regular russian military is part of the agreement. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:47 1
