You're viewing a single thread.
my mind is so blown. i didn’t have wagner turning against russia on my bingo card
I mean Prigozin has been advertising his eventual turning against Putin for a while, but I didn't think it would happen as a full on military coup
My personal theory is that he never intended it to get this far (previously he never called out Putin directly), but a failed assassination attempt made him decided he has no choice.
Failed assassination attempt on Prigozin?
I kinda had it on it when Prigozhin started releasing videos of him acting as a reasonable person to gain popular support.
savvy!
My father who is Russian has been talking about Wagner turning on Russia for the past 2 months. Dogs of war. So my bingo card has been stamped.
I've also go "nuclear civil war" on my card.
ohno
Anyway
I didn't either, but history has plenty of examples of mercenary armies turning against their employers.
is it normally like this? for something akin to personal politics, and not missed payment or something?
