I guess even among fascists there are limits to how much incompetence they're willing to tolerate before turning on their handlers. This comes after another rebel group inside Russia had also claimed credit for attacks as well as high recruitment interest. Took long enough, but shit does finally seem to be hitting the fan for Putin.

Even the article mentioned that their target is the Defense Minister. Still, no one knows how Putin is going to respond.
Yeah, hardly matters who they're after as long as they're fighting Russian forces to get to him though. Putin's invasion plan relied heavily on mercenaries doing his bidding.

The Wagner leader also promised to resume fighting in Ukraine once his battle with the Defense Ministry ends.

"We will deal with those who destroy Russian soldiers. And we will return to the frontline," he said. "Justice in the Army will be restored. And after this, justice for the whole of Russia."
He's quite the multi-tasker. Strange that he would say that the war was based on lies, but still be willing to go back after he does what he wants to in Russia.

Really crazy that a mercenary group can have the ability to just roll up into Russia with that much confidence.

I sure hope we don't find out that Putin was actually the "moderate" and the guy who takes over is an even bigger warmonger. lol

For those who have been confused on what an insurrection looks like since 2021, this is what a real insurrection looks like. The guns and tanks are the tell here.

More articl
It's over. Go home everyone.
Perhaps. Hard to see how things go back to "normal" after this, Wagner shot down several Russian aircraft and Ukraine took positions the Russians have held since 2014 while they were distracted with the coup.

At worst it signals the beginning of the end. 5% of the US military budget is apparently enough to topple Putin.

I think NATO should help military WAGNERS SOLDIERS TO GET RID this twat putin :toot: :psp: :yayps3: :yayone: :yayswitch: :switch: :gun: :lol:
Most likely more than 50% of them are already NATO's mercenaries in disguise. Just like those Ukraine's "soldiers" doing things they weren't trained to do until war started and NATO's forces started picking on their noses.

NATO is US doing business, none the less, and US's main business is war and all it means weapons related.
