This is going to be horrific in different ways from what Putin's been having done to Ukraine.

Yes, it's an indirect consequence under "FAFO" doctrine...and still horrific.

I know, and yet I just... it's just a trainwreck, isn't it.

If Prigozhin can get regular supplies of food, ammo and gasoline it *might* get interesting.

I'll hold off on the popcorn until I see further developments.

I'm super worried about how this shakes out for Russian civilians and Ukrainians.

[conuly]

Yeah, that's valid, and hopefully things are at least no worse than before.

And it apparently fizzled out as quickly as it had began. We'll see if this happens again, either with the same person or with someone else.

They stopped after the first act!! I want as refund!!

[conuly]

Welp, probably just as well.

Doubtful non-government, non-military Belarussians are particularly keen on becoming the HQ for Wagner Group. No doubt they were running around there before, but now they're occupying the place.
