@AidanTTIerian @wgiwf @Some_German_Guy Yeah, this definitely stinks of zog gayop, but it only ends in Russian collapse if Prigozhin has the strength to either overthrow the government, or disrupt combat operations enough to cause a collapse at the front that results in a lost war. As it stands, Wagner on its own doesn't have that kind of strength, so what's the angle?

Wagner is entirely reliant on the Russian regular military for all its supply and logistics, so they can't operate for long on their own.

Looking at it from a distance, it seems like a lost cause, which makes me wonder what Prigozhin/his CIA handlers have hidden up their sleeve.

Are they counting on a significant portion of the Russian military siding with Prigozhin?
