Wagner Has taken Rostov on Don.

The story being told is Prigozhin claims to believe the Russian ministry of defense has betrayed Russia's armed forces (bad leadership, lying about the war, treating Russiana like cannon fodder, not executing the war properly) and it looks like Prigozhin has delusions of being the leader of a nationalist political movement.

I am no fan of Prigozhins, but he has the balls to say you and Putin were lying about the justifications given for invading Ukraine.

Apparently he's a long time friend, ally and confidante of Putin.

If he were to somehow replace Putin, he'd probably be just as bad if not worse.

He's a rightwing nationalist who would not be in any sense an improvement on Putin
 
Russia has 97% of its military assets in Ukraine.

It is the perfect time for the mercenaries to attack Putin’s forces.

Putin will have two choices, lose Ukraine or lose Russia.

In either case, his naked aggression in Ukraine has failed.

Perhaps we should support the Wagner mercenaries.
 
Prigozhin’s relatively discreet public profile was his greatest asset. He bankrolled the notorious troll farm that the US government sanctioned for interference in the 2016 US presidential election; created a substantial mercenary force that played a key role in conflicts from Ukraine’s Donbas region to the Syrian civil war; and helped Moscow make a play for influence on the African continent.

All of Prigozhin’s activities gave the Kremlin a fig leaf of deniability. After all, mercenary activity was technically barred by Russian law, and Putin could always maintain that interference in US elections was merely the work of “patriotic” hackers.

The Wagner military group has taken control of the strategic city of Rostov on Don and the pivotal state highway leading toward Russia.

If this is not put down very soon, the war in Ukraine will be over.

It's great to see Russia at war with itself. The Wagner group is made up of criminals and drug addicts - just like the Russian oligarchy!

Thank God Trump isn't POTUS. He'd be sending arms to Putin right about now.
