"Ride of the Valkyries" / Wagner group/Russian revolution or coup?

 An armed insurrection seems to be underway in Russia.
This has gotten weird.
Anyone have a good idea on what the heck is going on?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I have been following Denys Davydov on Telegram.  Can't say I know a whole lot more than you.  He is a Ukrainian guy who has been doing youtube videos also.  He has been putting up Telegram posts constantly since yesterday. 

This morning there were reports that advance elements of the Wagner soldiers were 100 km from Moscow.  Then there were a bunch of reports that the Belarus leadership was trying to broker a deal to stop it.  Yesterday all the initial stuff was they took over the local military headquarters in Rostov near the Ukraine.  If they are already close to Moscow, that means they aren't messing around.  I guess we will see.

It is nice to watch/hear about all this from my nice air conditioned house in Texas. 

Might be a lesson for those talking about revolution here, both those thinking it is good and the "we have F-15's and nukes" crowd.

I'm sure the Russian government is currently looking to trade in all their MiGs for those magical, counter-revolutionary F-16s.
