Twitter is better than any news channel in situations like this.

According to reuters, Wagner has now taken over another Russian city, Voronezh, which is 250 kilometers closer to Moscow. Not messing about

Imagine if disgruntled Aegis employees stole some tanks from Alanbrooke Barracks and then took over Sunderland.

 

It's utterly, utterly mad what's going on.

Utilising a private mercenary army, letting them recruit from the very worst of your prison population, fail to provide them with modern weapons, treat them like cannon fodder, get your professional army to fire on them as they try to withdraw as the other side make advances, leave them with only one route out because you’ve planted land mines on all other escape routes, scapegoat the mercenary army when your badly planned war starts to go wrong. Anyone would think it’s more surprising that the mercenaries hadn’t reacted negatively to all this before now.

More to it than that though, Prig is a big dog and he's off his leash.  Top brass are scared of him, though he thinks he's mates with Putin you just can't trust Putin.  Everyone has guns and everyone's paranoid the others are out to get them.  

No idea what's going to happen next, my money is on Prig getting topped.

I watched Newsnight last night when this story was first breaking. They had a couple of experts on who said that the FSB would back Putin because their survival wouldn’t be guaranteed under anyone else. I think you’re right, Prigozhin will ultimately be killed, but what the hell do they do about his army, especially if the rest of the lower ranks of the Russian military decide to side with him?

Just woke up, did I miss anything?

'I say, therefore, that the arms with which a prince defends his state are either his own, or they are mercenaries, auxiliaries, or mixed. Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious, and without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies; they have neither the fear of God nor fidelity to men, and destruction is deferred only so long as the attack is; for in peace one is robbed by them, and in war by the enemy. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you. They are ready enough to be your soldiers whilst you do not make war, but if war comes they take themselves off or run from the foe; which I should have little trouble to prove' -

British Army take note. Are you going to let them have all the fun or are you going to save your own people from the Tories?

Too busy using pictures of Jeremy Corbyn for target practice.

Looks like this could be the part where Prigozhin and his troops start to meet reality if this really is recent footage from inside Russia.

It's pretty serious if Putin went on TV.

You should never make big decisions when you're drunk. I learned that when I got dropped home one Sunday morning by a girl with a moustache.

[Poor Scouser T]

This mercenary guy is Mike from Breaking Bad. Putin is fucked.

So Russia is essentially in a civil war now?

It's a tough one to classify isn't it? 

 

It's basically one man but who's very powerful as he's got his own private army.

 

One might say it's the ultimate evolution of capitalism. A private sector military that can essentially stand toe to toe with that of a state.
