Russia Invades ukraine

[Mick Dempsey]

If, and my speculation is as worthless as anyone’s on here, The Wagner group do head into Russia in some kind of coup attempt, Putin and the chiefs will have to divert soldiers to combat them.

Leaving the defenses of their gains in the Ukraine vulnerable to a lightning advance.

Will be interesting as any gains they have made seem to have been spearheaded or achieved by Wagner, the Russian army on a whole appears to have been virtually useless… 

I don’t know what would be more worrying though a paramilitary group running Russia or putin staying in control.

My thoughts exactly. What’s the end game for Wagner?

Can’t help but think one scenario is that nato intelligence are now possibly paying him 😆

Indeed. 

It has to be either Prigozhin (we’re going to have to learn how to spell that aren’t we?) going for head of state, or at least head of the Russian military in a new administration.

 

Still, from our point of view on here, it makes a change from moaning about poor people/flat screen TVs/coffee from Starbucks etc.

Or at least providing them with the weapons that Russia weren’t

That is a bit of a reach imo.

another worrying thought is they moved a load of Nukes in to Belarus and Lukashenko has apparently last night done a bunk to turkey after a phone call with putin and  amid rising tensions in Belarus…
