Heavy things are afoot. I had been busy writing my next unrelated report, when this major situation interrupted, forcing me to delay the regularly scheduled report in order to address the alarming developments. Prigozhin appears to have initiated a coup attempt. Information is still developing constantly so nothing is definitive or confirmed. That’s why I wanted to focus more on the potential causes rather than the speculative and constantly-changing informational noise. But just for those who may be completely unaware of the happenings:
Very delicate and complicated situation. I hope this is resolved because infighting like this can lead to serious stability consequences. This is exactly what NATO wants. Do they not see this? This can be resolved after the war.
So much propaganda right now. I saw video of Moscow and all was as usual. My sister-in-law lives in Russia. I will need to hear from her to know what is happening
I would like to think an option you missed, which is. This is all an act to get the ukies excited and rush in somewhere, probably bahkmut and get wiped out, as not too too much has been going on recently.
However, i think hes just broke his brain and needs locking in a nut house. I'd say war breaks some people, but hes just a pr guy that doesnt do any fighting so i doubt thats it.
Also, i thought letting wagner get this big was a bad idea 9 months ago.
There is a more sinister probability. That CIA/Ukraine intelligence services have literally fooled Prigozhin into believing that MOD is out to get him. This would require a very sophisticated network of handsomely-rewarded traitors feeding Prigozhin false narratives and sophisticated communications to appear legitimate when they're actually not. How many of Prigozhin's inner circle would betray him for payoff of $50 million each from CIA? Spending $200 MM to cause a major "internal" problem/distraction for MOD is a cheap bargain for NATO compared to the +$100 billion spent so far.
I genuinely think that this is psyops by the Russian government to confuse the west. No matter how mentally unstable that guy is he's not going to do something that suicidal.
Weeks, if not months, ago I commented on one of your other articles that they need to do something about that fucken loose cannon before he does something stupid. Well here we are. You can't have people in significant command positions talking that kind of shit publicly. Not one little bit. How they let him go on like that for months is a poor reflection on the MOD really. Should have nipped that loose cannon in the bud a long fucken time ago.
I don't think the men wo actually run the wagner military would go for this. It's suicide for the troops, on behalf of the marketing clowns ego. They'd frag him before betraying Russia, surely.
What strikes me about this situation is that this is exactly what was 'supposed to' happen, on a larger scale, according to NATO/US planning and covert action. Russia's morale fractures under the strain, etc. we've all heard some version of the intended scenario by now.
This is all too neat a package. I suspect covert action of some sort, whether it's filling Prigozhin's head with nonsense through back channels or offering him something he wants enough to throw the dice like this or who knows what. Too, we've heard whispers and rumours of whispers about how Prigozhin has unofficial lines of communication with a few members of the Ukrainian ruling cabal.
Thank you for your timely reporting!

Putin should've killed Prigozhin months ago, after his first little video.
Where can we figure out what the situation is on the ground right now? Telegram?
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Mr. Putin wants to be remembered with Princess Olga and her sparrows.
I have seen nothing that would prove that Prigozhin actually runs Wagner.

HOLY FOOK
