Title: "Ride of the Valkyries" / Wagner group/Russian revolution or coup?
Post by: gunsmith on June 24, 2023, 03:02:46 PM: https://youtu.be/Y_X3vqpMtMs

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?

Then it becomes VERY entertaining

If you enjoy dying from 3rd degree burns and/or radiation poisoning that is.

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.

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.
