    If true, this is a major setback for Putin.

    I don’t think this little rebellion has a chance to overthrow Putin. Maybe if all of Wagner rebelled?

      little rebellion

      They already control a city with one million inhabitants, with one of the five military headquarters of the Russian military. I wouldn’t call this a “small rebellion” yet.

        They’re a 50000-person-strong PMC. No way can they take on the full might of the Russian military unless you see huge swathes of the military join their rebellion.

            Which they will promptly forget about as soon as they get their way and then in 20 years everyone will wonder where the war lords came from.

          in the movie Crimson Tide, the issue was the radical (cant remember his name) was sweeping to power as he won the ‘hearts and minds’ of the russian miliary. Now thats fiction set in post cold war russia, but I can definitely see the similarities. I wouldnt be surprised if Wagner are joined by brigades sent to ‘stop’ them

          At this point I’d not be surprised. I don’t expect it, but it wouldn’t shock me.
