Prigozin's Wagner Division invades Russia - 24 June 2023

Noting the event, the mercenary Wagner Group has left Ukraine to invade Russia.  A column is moving toward Moscow.  Putin has fled to his stronghold.  Senior government ministers are leaving (one has flown to Turkiye).  The Wagner groups in Venezula and Syria are unstable and may be leaving soon for Russia, leaving al-Assad and other dictators with reduced support.

It seems unlikely that Prigozin will unseat Putin, however one of them will not survive this.  Furthermore, it is predicted that this is only the first wave and that Putin will succumb to a second, third, or fourth wave.

Ukraine seems happy.


Just putting this post here as an historical marker so that we can remember how it started.  Or should I say, how it ended?
