Tic Tok Putin

Has Putin committed so much of Russia’s fighting forces to Ukraine that he does not have the capacity to defend Russia from any invasion? Putin was relying on the threat of nuclear war to prevent any external invasion but that doesn’t protect him from an internal invasion. Prigozhin has perhaps very accurately assessed that he is the strongest military force in Russia right now. I am very interested in what happens to Russia after this. I don’t want to claim that this is the end of Putin’s Russia quite yet but it certainly seems to be a bad time to be named Vladimir Putin.

AFAIK (but sure, I don’t know much), the people expected to defend from an internal invasion are exactly the ones invading.

That might be accurate and it would make sense why they’re so defenseless, if that’s the case. But if that’s the case, then it was extremely idiotic to attack Wagner. But then, the people at the Russian MOD might just be that stupid as to attack their mercenaries that were providing their only internal defenses. Unless Prigozhin is just making up the attack like the MOD claims.

Regardless, it doesn’t really matter why Wagner turned around and is fighting Russia now. What matters is that they are and that it’s bad news bears for Russia.

Plot twist, Wagner dude takes over Russia in largely unchallenged coup, tracks down Putin, hands him over to the International Criminal Court and pulls out of Ukraine in exchange for being left alone to rule Russia and immunity for himself.

    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
