TL;DR: This is insane! The head of the Wagner Group, a private military company, initiates a coup against the Russian Federation. The aim is to remove the Russian Defense Minister and the Chief of the General Staff. The video also reveals the alleged reasons behind Russia's war with Ukraine (ego and greed) and the corruption within the Russian army. The Russian Ministry of Defense responds by launching a criminal investigation against the Wagner Group and taking measures to prevent the coup.

Key Point Summary:

  • The head of the Wagner Group, a private military company in Russia, initiates a coup to remove the Russian Defense Minister and the Chief of the General Staff.
  • The coup initiator exposes the alleged reasons behind Russia's war with Ukraine, including the Russian Defense Minister's desire for historical recognition and the Russian elite's intention to exploit Ukrainian assets.
  • The video reveals the corruption within the Russian army and its unpreparedness for large-scale offensive actions.
  • The Wagner Group's camps are attacked, leading to the group gathering forces and heading towards Moscow to confront the Russian Ministry of Defense.
  • The Russian Ministry of Defense launches a criminal investigation against the Wagner Group, seizes their centers in Saint Petersburg, and forbids media channels from mentioning the group's claims.
  • The Russian Ministry of Defense takes measures to prevent the coup, including shutting down the internet in some regions, readying special forces, closing borders and highways, and building fortifications.
  • The Russian Ministry of Defense releases appeals to the Wagner soldiers to return to the front and stop the coup.
  • The Wagner Group claims to have passed the borders and encourages others to do the same.
  • The Russian Ministry of Defense orders an airstrike on the Wagner Group, which claims to have shot down several helicopters.
  • Videos emerge of direct confrontations between regular Russian detachments and Wagner forces, with the latter prevailing.
  • The Wagner Group seizes control over the Rostov region, including the headquarters of the Southern Military District, police stations, Federal Security Services, and Regional Administration.

  • The Wagner Group enters the Voronezh region, with locals posting videos of audible gunfire.
  • The Russian Ministry of Defense reinforces Moscow

I was in the US military and thought, "What a clusterfuck," all the time. After watching Russia for the past 1.25 yrs, the US military had its shit together by comparison, and the Russian military will serve as the prototype of clusterfucks for centuries. They are such a mess.

Edit: We need to update clusterfuck in Urban Dictionary to include an example using the Russian military.

Well, Wagner started late but now they are actually in the lead in the race for Moscow, ahead of the Russian legionnaires.

Either way, let's hope Ukraine gets at least a small break from the carnage.

Maybe we are seeing the end of the war, and maybe even the end of Russia.

So Wagner are taking on the evil Russian army who started the war with Ukraine. They will vanquish them by marching to moskow and installing Putin as King of Russia.

Have I got that right?

[–] judasferret@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You've got it! King Prigozhin perhaps?

Prime minister goes better with the name.

The MoD will all be given one way tickets to the Hague as retirement gifts.

Controversial but maybe we'll see Ukraine give aid to Wagner...

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

While it's potentially an amusing thought, Ukraine is no situation to be giving anyone aid. Even if all war ceased, they still have years and years of healing and rebuilding that needs to take place. That country has gone through a lot.

[–] judasferret@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah by aid I mean Western weapons start showing up in the hands of Wagner troops as they assault Moscow all under the pretense they were 'captured' previously from Ukrainians on the eastern/Bakhmut front.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

US funding Wagner through Ukraine to topple Russia is such conspiracy bait.

[–] judasferret@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't that the whole war?
