It seems Twitter is being used as the main avenue of this narrative. I'm not sure what's going on, but my Spidey Senses tells me Buyer beware.
Another report claims Wagner has surrounded a Russian military garrison in Rostov. Rostov is on the border of the Crimea. Yet another report has Wagner on the move northward to Moscow and is in the Voronezh region. This is far from Bahkmut and even much farther from Rostov. Wagner must be using the freeway to move this fast. I guess they have really fast tanks and personnel carriers. Secondly, it doesn't make any sense to divide Wagner between Rostov and the Voronezh region.
Imagine the confusion at NATO. I wonder if that's a goal.
Great post, OP. You've really been stepping it up.
Hi catsfive. I have an important and sentimental post I’d like to have stickies if you would be okay with it. It’s my most recent post on connecting with others. If you feel it doesn’t deserve a sticky then I understand. Thank you for considering and thank you for all your efforts.
All I know for an absolute fact is whatever is currently happening in Russia right now, is that the Western Media is applying their propaganda filter to it. So who the hell knows what is really happening. If the Fake News reports on it, it's a lie.
Makes sense. Russian Police would likely be equipped to suppress Riots and minor Civil unrest. Meaning probably the extent of their armament is small arms. Maybe a handful of anti-mat rifles and light APCs for their SWAT equivalents. Not go toe to toe with Mechanized Troops with armored support.
There’s also been reports of Russian Ground Forces either refusing to fire on Wagner Troops or outright defecting to the supposed Rebels.
Whether this is a some sort of stunt, convoluted plan, or acting or whatever. It is certainly a beyond interesting.
I can't see how Wagner has any heavy weapons near Moscow it would take weeks to move that equipment by rail and that is easy to stop with one bomb.
Modern wars are won and lost with logistics. A mercenary force has none. They depend on the russian army to supply them.
Reportedly Russian Military and National Guard units on the road to Moscow have been outright defecting. Which would explain where they’d get heavy weapons.
Not to mention it also comes down to experience. Wagner spent months on the frontlines. The Russian Cops on the other hand. Have been dealing with typical police work and the occasional protest/riot. Not exactly equivalent to frontline combat experience.
Granted this is also supposing it’s not some elaborate fake plan/stunt on the part of one faction or another.
All looks fake and gay to me. You can't move a force like that. It's too easy to stop, even token resistance would stop them for days. Looks like a made up excuse to shut things down and take out the deepstate in Russia.
Which is funny considering nothing at all has shut down and Prigozhin has already told his forces to stand down, as of a couple hours ago, after talking with Lukashenko and Putin.
So we already know the "take out the deep state in Russia" narrative to be copium bullshit.
Don't be silly,we have no idea of who said what and when in Russia. Putin just needs to know for sure who to take out.
He doesn't need an army to do it. He was in the KGB he knows how to dissapear his enemys.
