Invasion of Ukraine: Why Doesn't Russia Concede Kursk and Negotiate Peace?

Shit could be about to get real. This town is about 320 miles from Moscow.

Yeah, I thought Prigozhin was just mouthing off and asking to get dosed with some polonium on his way down from a 14 story building, but I also didnā€™t realize you could maybe do a coup with something on the order of a few thousand troops and dozens of armored vehicles? I dunno, maybe their force is much bigger than that, but it doesnā€™t seem like thereā€™s a huge force there. Just that thereā€™s no one there trying to stop them.

That and that Rostov cuts off the supply for a lot of the Russian troops in Ukraine, and morale was already low. How many Russian troops actually want to prevent a coup at this point?

Also controlling some nuclear weapons could go a long way, and makes rumors of Putin considering fleeing more credible imo. Still unlikely but if the dude you were trying to kill has a few nukes pointed at the Kremlin, I could see getting the fuck out.

This is all just a distraction from Hunter Biden.

EDIT: Goddammit, Rupar beat me to this joke.

All it takes is the military to not move against you

Fairly nervous about this development. Lots of bad outcomes here

Agreed but at least none of the combatants have much reason to use nukes outside Russia itself.

Sure they do. These people are more militaristic than Putin. Putin wonā€™t stand up to NATO, we need nukes to fight for our homeland could be their dumbass thought process

If Prigozhin is against the war in Ukraine now, I doubt heā€™s going to oust Putin and then invade Finland or nuke Brussels. The chaos is the danger imo, if a nuke flies then a lot of shit can go really wrong really fast for the whole world, but none should be aimed outside Russia in this scenario.

Prigozhin gave a statement from military HQ in Rostov and said the actions against Ukrainians are ongoing, but also said the number of casualties is 3 to 4 times worse than whatā€™s being reported to the top generals/Putin, and that what is being reported to the top is 10 times worse than whatā€™s being said on TV.

Holy shit, numerous places now reporting that Wagner Group has taken Voronezh with no resistance.

Prigozhinā€™s tweet reminds me of Kanye declaring Death Con 3 on the Jews, but this dude actually has an army to back him up. :harold:

I canā€™t stop laughing at these headlines. Like if this is how it ends for Putin, hahaha oh my god. Itā€™s dark for sure but also deeply funny.
