Is There a Coup Unfolding in Russia?

Are the Wagner Group mercenaries that Putin has used to wage the war in Ukraine attempting an armed coup against Putin?

I don't know. There's so much propaganda out of Russia and Ukraine I try to avoid writing about it at all.

But this could be important, so, on the off-chance this is real...

The Wagner Group is a private army -- mercenaries -- that Putin uses to fight the war in Ukraine. I assume he employs mercenaries to avoid having to draft more Russian boys, which would erode his standing with the public.

And allegedly, the founder of the group has turned a column of his troops towards Russia.

@NOELreports
Russian channel DONTSTOPWAR reports that a 50km long Wagner-column has crossed the Novoshakhtinskaya border checkpoint into Russia reportedly heading for Novocherkassk (towards Rostov-on-Don).
The column itself has not yet been visually confirmed.

Supposedly, the head of the Wagner Group is accusing Russia of... bombing the Wagner mercenaries fighting for Russia?

The chief of the Wagner mercenary group on Friday accused Russia of killing a "huge number" of its forces in strikes and vowed to retaliate, ratcheting up tensions between Moscow and the private military company.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, 62, whose men have bolstered Russia's offensive in Ukraine, has ramped up his verbal attacks against Moscow in recent weeks, including questioning the very need for the military operation.
Once believed to be a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin is increasingly seen as keen on a political role as he engages in an all-out war of words with Moscow, that appears to have spilled onto the battlefield.
"The council of commanders of PMC Wagner has made a decision -- the evil that the military leadership of the country brings must be stopped," Prigozin said in a series of furious audio messages released by his spokespeople.
"We were ready to make concessions to the defence ministry, surrender our weapons.
"Today, seeing that we have not been broken, they conducted missile strikes at our rear camps. A huge number of our fighters, our comrades died."

Not just that, but unfathomable money and resources and public deceit to pretend that it was still actually happening. Note that this is two days ago and after a bunch of Coast Guard "we'll find 'em!!!" speeches:

"Experts have underscored the scope of resources deployed to the search.

“The assets that are deployed out there are significant,” Larry Daley, president of Titanic Expeditions and an expert on the Titanic, said Wednesday on MSNBC. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I haven’t seen this in a movie.”

94 "The Wagner Group is a private army -- mercenaries -- that Putin uses to fight the war in Ukraine. I assume he employs mercenaries to avoid having to draft more Russian boys, which would erode his standing with the public."

No. That's a totally wrong take. Also -- they're NOT mercenaries and they are all citizens of the RF. And there's zero erosion of Putin's standing. In fact, volunteer recruitment is UP. ALL MALES aged 18-27 have always had to perform one year of military service. It has nothing to do with the US proxy war against Russia.

The fastest way to resolve this is probably going to be to prove that there is no debt to garnish, which will mean you have to contact the unemployment benefits agency to start proving there was fraud. That is the other end of the knot to start working on. The tax agency is probably just working an automated garnishment request for the UI people.

183 My guess is that the power struggle is just between DOD and Wagner (Shoigu and Prigozhin) and neither can or would challenge Putin.

So it is not at all a coup

It appears that Wagner has been trying to prove its value the past couple months, and failing, and blaming DOD. Many said this was scripted but I don't buy it. Lately Prigozhin has said a lot of provocative things. It sounded to me like he was trying to lob bombs at Shoigu, while still supporting Putin and the war.

234 You'll probably need a solvent. A name brand paint remover or acetone would probably help depending on the paint type that was spilled.
Posted by: The recovered remains of Hitler's cocaine
--------------------------------------

I would use solvent as last resort. It depends on the surface roughness, and type of drops. A few big ones I would scrape off w/ sharp object,..

Paint stripper (caustic that swells the paint without dissolving) sometimes works well but is a pain.

Solvents generally just spread it around on a porous surface. That may be OK, but test it first. Dark paint will never be removed with solvent but it will stain the entire area.

angle grinder with wire wheel works (please use safety glasses AND a full face shield) but will leave surface lighter and it takes a couple years to match. but not too bad if you power wash whole area afterward.

242 There was once an American soldier who sat down with a tribal chief in Afghanistan. The soldier was concerned that his men were being attacked by local forces. That soldier knew that nothing would happen in that area without the elder knowing about it. The elder was playing the long game and told the soldier that he, like others before him would eventually be gone, and once again they would live unmolested in their own country. Until then, some might take up arms as they felt it was their duty. The soldier pondered that for a second and said, true, but what good would that be if most of those people weren't around to see it? What would be gained? Unpersuaded, the elder said, honor, which must be preserved at all costs. The soldier replied that he too, had a duty, and honor to protect at all costs, and a warrior code that of many things included to never quit, no matter what it took. That was the end of the conversation.

There were no more attacks after that meeting. The two occasionally had tea and talked about better times, family and the small joys of life.

Sometimes, a mutually beneficial agreement can be made between honorable men. But it takes courage and wisdom.

268 More than $15k can be earned online by performing straightforward tasks from home. In the previous month, I got $18376. Even a young child may do this job and make money because it is so simple to complete and has higher pay than typical office occupations. Everyone needs to try this task by using the information on this page. https://Getmoney012.blogspot.com

269 So, maybe this is where that "accounting error" from the Pentagon went to... paying off Wagner to engage in some shenanigans???

271 Wagner is owned by the FSB, but Shoigu wants it under him.. It would appear that the fight is between factions in the Putin regime.

Whether or not it is anything more is something we will have to wait to see.

272 There are 1 million Russian troops surrounding Ukraine. Russia has used Wagner and smaller forces to kill 250,000 Ukrainians. Wagner group is nothing. Russia, not Wagner, has destroyed almost every single piece of western equipment in Ukraine. Russia, not Wagner, has the satellites, drones, high tech equipment every bit as lethal as the US.

Putin is far more popular now than he was before the war started. Wagner will be destroyed if that's what's really going on.

This is idiocy, this dreck propaganda from the west.
