which is absolutely hilarious. like the kid with their hand in the cookie jar claiming they have no idea whats goin on

I seem to recall that arresting Gerasimov during a visit to Rostov-on-Don was part if the plan, and one of the generals next in line was friendly to Wagner so it would've created division in the ranks. But Shoigu got tipped off, the general backed out, and Prigozhin eventually realized without military backing he'd eventually lose

As they say in Breaking Bad: no half-measures. It got him murdered anyway, he should have gone all the way with a coup...

Prigozhin sobering up early is one of history's big disappointments.

Ukraine thrusts deep into Russia as Russia pushes back gently, but while whimpering quietly. Ukraine pulls russias hair and leans in close, whispering "take it all, whore"

Yeah, I hope that's the plan, otherwise they'll just lose everyone they sent over there. Go in, destroy a bunch of stuff and leave is the smart plan. It'll force Russia to keep substantial amounts of troops in Russia to avoid a repeat, shows they're weak and boosts morale in Ukraine.

Obviously, they can't go all the way to Moscow but Kursk or bust doesn't have the same ring to it.

How many bananas?

But the info is so fresh! Newcomers beware... it's hard to tell what's info vs a random meme.

That all makes sense. I saw today they have captured at least one tank which is nice.

They've penetrated two prepared defence lines which they may want to hunker down in later so shipping ammo back to those would be less hassle.

There's some talk of them potentially holding that gas plant to force Russia to destroy it to dislodge them too, cutting off gas to Hungary while making Russia the one that does it. Muuuaahahaha.

The whole thing is fascinating. Really looking forward to the Perun video on it which will hopefully be next week.
