Support NeoGAF

[Chiggs]

I was wrong.

It’s absolutely mind boggling that Putin wouldn’t have Prigozhin under control… but it’s certainly looking like it.

No need for the apology (even though it's classy AF), and I completely agree with you: Russia is a mess.

You know who is really freaking out right now?

Edward Snowden.

[JayK47]

I wonder what kind of deal the CIA made with Wagner. Does Wagner think the CIA will not stab him in the back if he succeeds?

what deal did the CIA make with this Mr Wagner?

He gives them Snowden, he's an All American hero in the eyes of the CIA.

 

[Dr.D00p]

This has been a fucking wild week.

Musk & Zuckerberg cage fight
Titan sub
Russian coup

Just need Aliens to arrive and start an Invasion for the week to be complete

 

[nightmare-slain]

Fuck sake I thought they were at Lipetsk? but they are at Barabanovo?

They are only about 110km from Moscow.

Good to see the Russians are freaking out and waking up. Mon Ukraine!!

 

[tommolb]

Got to wonder why Putin didn't think Wagner could turn around and make a march on Moscow and not have an armed force near Moscow capable of stopping him just incase.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

If they don't play this while entering Moscow, i will be disappointed.

Maybe he had, but they turned. After all this, i doubt putin trusted much or any of his militairy.

 

[sinnergy]

And now the end is near

We kinda did get the closest thing to Aliens with the David Grusch disclosures about UAPs and retrieval teams and shit. Not sure if that counts for Disaster Bingo 2023 though.

What a year this week has been

 

[EviLore]

Fascinating. Might makes right in Russia, and Putin pissed up the wrong tree this time.

Hopefully this is Putin's final curtain.

Looks like this is his "find out" stage.

 

[dem]

How do the Russian soldiers not just turn on their command in the Ukraine right now?

I know the Russian people are beaten dogs.. but when faced with the meat grinder..

 

[Chiggs]

Has Hideo Kojima commented on this yet?

 

[Lord Panda]

I thought it was really odd that Prigozhin was allowed to mouth off publicly for months, without any serious reprisal from the Kremlin. He just was constantly talking shit about the MoD and the war, when others have been windowed or tea'ed for far less. And here is he now, at the proverbial gates.

He is going to find out how many real friends he has left.

He is making a cutscene of this all for his next game as we speak

 

[nightmare-slain]

I know Putin seems to have caught by surprise here but how can this Wagner mob get so close to Moscow so quickly with so little resistance? Maybe a lot of Russia army joining up with Wagner?

A lot of them might be doing that right now or will be very soon.

[sinnergy]

And surrendering

 

[nightmare-slain]

Hope Putin is shitting himself right about now. Go hide in your bunker you cowardly rat!

 

[Kenpachii]

He just needs a bigger table.

I would be cautious of celebrating a potential outcome where Putin is overthrown because we don't know if whoever replaces him (whether its Prighozin or someone else) will end up being worse. A potentially bigger warmonger taking the reins could be worse for Ukraine and the entire world for that matter.

 

[Pelta88]

Prigozhin right now

 

[Lord Panda]

I wonder if he will escape the same way Hitler did. That would be ironic.

 

[Liljagare]

Love Zelensky..

I'm not celebrating. I'm just happy this seems to be working out for Ukraine right now. If this Wagner dude replaces Putin then you're just replacing one nutcase with another and yeah it could cause more trouble for the rest of the world.

 

[Sybrix]

Devil's advocate here: Russia has an airforce, a few targeted strikes on the Wagner convoy?

It's absolutely right to celebrate the downfall of Putin, if it happens. There won't be a 'replacement' because Russia is going up in fucking flames if Putin falls. Someone may nominally take over in the Kremlin, but if the cork comes out of the bottle in terms of the Russian republics (which it absolutely will), then the whole damn place falls into civil war. There won't simply be a changing of the guard.

 

[nightmare-slain]

I wonder why it's not happened yet? It doesn't take long to get some jets together and fly down the M4 to bomb it.

Or maybe the Russian pilots will join Wagner.

A few posts earlier suggested that there were indeed strikes on Wagner forces and a captured fuel dump. Didn't seem very sustained though.

 

[sinnergy]

Sure .. can’t it be reached by bunker busters ?

They already did bomb it, doesn't stop them.

Everyone flying is deployed near Ukraine

I'd generally agree with this, but I think the sane world is ready to deal with the "devil they don't know."

 

[nightmare-slain]

Putin has shat it and GTFO of Moscow. There is no table big enough for that coward.

 

[Phobos Base]

Gee, who would have thought giving a criminal psychopath his own private army could possibly backfire?

 

[sinnergy]

He is in a bunker … maybe they can eliminate him there .. fresh air needs a way in

this wont end the way we want it to, but its gonna be a helluva ride.

War… war never changes.

The best is that all the russian trolls are in disarray, they don't know who's their master.

What way do we want it to end? Peacefully isn't an option. If Putin is backed into a corner who knows what he could do. If this Wagner dude replaces Putin then it looks like Russia will be run by another evil cunt.
