I saw some other servers have megathreads so following suit

Edit: as the situation progresses some live cams may go down

I post Telegram links because that’s the social media platform many Russians use

    So who we cheering for on this one? I mean if they could destroy each other that’s ideal. Ukraine wins by confusion on the Russian side but I can’t imagine Prigozhin is better than Putin. Seems like trading same for same.

      Neither, Wagner is a Nazi. Considering Russia has the largest stockpile of nukes this is a terrible situation

        Yep. We’re entering dicey waters.

        Even if the coup fails, this weakens the Kremlin, and increases the likelihood of Russia descending into civil war like Libya.

        But as you say, Russia has 40,000 nukes.

          No, Russia has 6000 nukes. Only 1700 are actually ready to deploy, the rest are just sitting in storage.

          And given the rampant corruption that has rotted Russia’s military out, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them don’t even work. Nuclear weapon maintenance is a great thing to skim money out of since nobody’s expecting the nukes to actually be used.

            Considering all we read last year about the deplorable condition of transport vehicles, medicine supplies, soldier equipment and food that were in storage until last year - due to the money not quite making it all the way down the chain throughout the years - I think it’s pretty much a given.

      I’m just cheering on for more Russian infighting. The Citizens of Russia have sooooo much work to do to fix their shit country. There’s pretty much no good outcome for them in the short-term. But this could be great for Ukraine in the short-run, so that’s the best we can hope for imho.

      If anything, if this somehow speeds up an end to the war that could be a net positive for everyone. Like Ukraine, Russia cannot move forward in any real way until the war is concluded.

      No, and if you think this you aren’t paying attention. There is a 0% chance Prigo can galvanize the same level of support and absolute control Putin has. This will be a devestating blow to the russian propaganda machine.

      They are the same thing and there is no difference between them. Both are ruthless and barbaric. Nothing changes for Ukraine except for a brief opportunity to strike while the russians are in confusion.

        It’s better than nothing. The world tried to bring Russia into the fold but they constantly pulled crazy shit. While it’s certainly a dangerous time, a change had to happen. Maybe this leads to nothing more than creating a bit of chaos for the current Russian leadership but this could give them a chance to self reflect and figure out why they aren’t being supported.
