This all comes across as surreal. Or fake. I haven't decided which it feels like more.

I think it is better. The new leader will be distracted stealing massive amounts of money from the Russian people.

There's no one with the power to take over who's not going to be a giant piece of ####.

Boris Nemtsov was Russia's last chance for a generation.

Who knew that relying so heavily on a cut-throat mercenary group to fight a war for you instead of your own military would have negative consequences?

I hear you. Pretty difficult to ascertain what is in fact happening.

Other than a catalyst to finally end this criminal invasion of Ukraine. I wish nothing but disaster on Putin.

Are there normally this many people walking down the streets chanting something at midnight?

I watched a fair bit of this. Looked like a Friday night on one of the longest days of the year with light shows and celebrations. Pretty wild how light out it is.

This is nuts. Does Prighozin have any popular support in Russia? Could the end result be Wagner setting up a state within Russia?

I’m interested if Kadyrov gets involved with his army now.

The other interesting thing is that I suspect the Ukrainian offensive is going to get easier without any command and control on the Russian side. This next short period of time is also probably the greatest risk of a stray nuke being launched or a power plant blowing up.

Very much so, he's likely #2 behind Putin (which is why he is deliberately avoiding direct confrontation with him)

Make of these tweets from Prighozin as you will, but Russia's is making a heavy effort to censor the internet and all footage in areas with reported Wagner activity. I also saw a statement from St. Petersburg representatives they have 2 choices and they stand with Prighozin, can't find it anymore though.

Nothing can be corroborated yet outside of the few videos we see that shows major Russian cities on lockdown, and that Russia is trying their hardest to censor everything.

Firefights reported in Rostov between Wagner and Russian National Guard (explains why the camera were shut down). Alleged Wagner convoy passing through military checkpoints with guards letting them through as well.
