Since launching a surprise attack last week, Moscow has been unable to push Ukrainian troops back after they advanced up to 30km into Russian territory and are now in control of about 28 settlements.
And now they are the second most powerful in Russia.
I think it’s been that way for longer than people think. Remember when Wagner just rolled through Russia without any resistance? Putin’s might has always been false promises/ blackmail, but it’s obvious now that Russia hasn’t had the means to back itself up for a while now
The fact that people like you can rationalize the Kremlin’s far-right, proto-fascist ideology as some sort of anti-Nazi movement is just more proof that the biggest threat to humanity is ingorance combined with a near-infinite potential for self-serving delusions. We desperately need to reform our formal education systems and limit the impact of authoritarian propaganda as much as possible, and from there the number of victims, like Dragon.
I think it might have been dissatisfaction of his troops that lead to the coup. He knew it would not work out, so he tried to bail out quickly. He should have probably just left the country never to return.
they made a classic blunder- the one slightly more well known than getting into it with a scillian when death is on the line! Getting into a land war in Asia!
Most of productive thoughts throughout the pre-soviet russian history was wasted on that exact question. No joke. That long-going identity crisis even caused a divide within the elites about the choice of following either the european footsteps (westerners) or going on their own (slavic-philes).
The correct russian names for these two groups are западники and славянофилы. I feel like googling them like this you’d encounter better results. But they are limited to one period of history while the question itself was before and after them.
First they were the second most powerful army in the world.
Then they were the second most powerful in Ukraine.
And now they are the second most powerful in Russia.
I like they way this is going 🤗.
Second most powerful in Moscow 🤞😬🤞
Would be wild if they took over Russia and Zelenskyy became the president of Russia.
Can countries still annex other countries like that these days?
Who would stop him?
Second most powerful in Putin’s dreams
Second most powerful in all of their military bases.

Prigozhin should have waited to betray Russia until Ukraine was in a position like this.
Seems like he was an idiot, though. IDK what level of delusional hubris one needs to be on to travel to Moscow after an attempt such as that.
Nazis have now assumed marching on Moscow would work out for them twice, maybe it’s just a related mental defect.

Lol, Prigozhin was a Nazi you dingus, it’s why he named it Wagner.
With how it went down he was mainly an idiot for standing down. Idk how he imagined that ending

Once he started he had two options: continue until the end and maybe die trying or just die. For some reason he opted for the second one.

Wait. But aren’t they Asia? Lol

Interesting. I’ll have to go into some research on this one.

Tha ks! I’ll take a look today at work! Sorry for the late reply.
