Rostov holds the HQ of the Russian ministry of defense, and is also a major logistics hub.
The idea of a major nuclear power like Russia having a civil war is terrifying, but hopefully Ukraine will be able to take advantage of this.
This doesn’t sound like a civil war. This sounds like a shake up at most.
That’s what I was thinking. Push out all the Russian soldiers (or convince them to switch sides, which seems remarkably easy at this point) while Putin is otherwise occupied. That would end the war, and with so much else on his plate, Putin might think twice about restarting it.
Prigozhin is a monster and a war criminal.
But how much infighting do we think Russia can handle without collapsing on the front?
It seems like we are about to find out.
Another Zar going down in another Rebellion, why not.
Wow. Last I read, Prigozhin was talking shit, but the Russian government wasn’t actually after him yet. I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t such a scumbag.
This will be equal parts amusing and horrifying.
No one knows who or what would come out of a power vacuum, but history tells us it’s usually a more hardline and extreme result. With some of the reports coming out of more hawkish elements within the Russian government adding more and more pressure on Putin to take further measures in mind, it can be a major cause for concern.
Just to be clear, it’s the HQ for the southern region’s Russian ministry of defense. Not the entire thing
