Moscow has announced an “anti-terrorist operation” as the mercenary group says it’s engaging in battles with the regular Russian military.

      One thing I learned is that you shouldn’t believe anything any side says, especially before the thing happens

      No, that seems far-fetched as a goal. It COULD however in my opinion be a psyops to allow Putin a way out of the war though, the scripted slowly escalating conflict between Kremlin and Wagner has been going a bit too cleanly so far.

      Ummm… no. This is the exact kind of thing that will destroy any left-over confidence in the war-effort.

      No, this is a disaster for Putin, even if they do manage to crush this coup attempt - I don’t see how Russia will be able to continue the war in Ukraine after this for very long.
