Russia “coup” running thread - Доверяй, но проверяй

I think this is a separate action from Ukraine.

This seems to be a military coup inside of the military and Putin is safe, for now.

I mean, holy ****.

This is the best game of RISK yet.

RISK managed to wipe "Russia" off the map long before anyone else.

Be careful what you wish for. (EDIT: I saw Gen. Flynn also posted that. Great minds think alike...)

I wonder if the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers and Gravy Seals can muster 25,000 to march on D.C.?

Stephen Cohen (RIP) said many times that the biggest criticism of Putin from his inner circle is that he's too SOFT, too reactive and not proactive.

As well armed and trained as the Wagners? That 25,000 would **** themselves when they meet a real army.

Yep. He’s no Brezhnev.

The key to Wagner Group's power and (especially) money is its presence as a proxy for Russian armed forces in Syria and a number of African countries. They have supported themselves as mercenaries have since time was -- through plunder. What will happen to those guys now? I don't imagine going home looks too attractive. How many will try o become Men Who Would be Kings?

Moscow mayor telling people to stay inside.

**** me, I’m headed as far north of this ****show as possible.

Great way for Putin to save face.

Fake a coup - and withdraw everyone from Ukraine.

Once Russians are shooting at Russians on Russian soil…

I don’t think we can comprehend this in America.

If we invaded Mexico and things just went badly for a year. We’re just toiling down there losing men and not getting anywhere, and 25,000 of them, just overnight, started up to DC to confront the president and the Pentagon. People would be ****ting themselves. I would be.

Well, so much for the submersible story.

Now would be a good time to buy a train ticket to Vladivostok and see the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Maybe this will help CNN's ratings.
