Prigozhin appears to have taken three Russian cities and says he's heading for Moscow. He seems to have done it without actually fighting which means that the main Russian forces aren't resisting the mutiny - yet.
​
Prigozhin so far hasn't said anything against Putin but instead is going after the military leadership. But Putin has just backed the military and is going after Prigozhin calling it betrayal and mutiny. So it's a civil war.
​
Whatever happens next it's good news for the Ukrainians.

They're digging up the roads leading to Moscow
​
​
An impressive panic considering there's only an estimated 500 troops in the convey heading for Moscow.

Phat, given that it's now possible to find "alternative facts" about absolutely anything at all, how would you go about trying to work out what is most likely to be correct?

Looks like Turkey has finally agreed to letting Sweden into NATO.
​
NATO also put Ukraine on the waiting list, but without a date.
​
I'm not sure the new G7 'long term security package' is exactly what Zelensky had in mind either but he has to appear grateful.

If Putin beats us, it will be through dethroning the dollar itself. Apart from nuclear and hypersonic missles, he has no weapons with which to defeat us.
​
Yeh, right, a country with a smaller economy than Spain, that's under sanction from all the Western economies and funding a draining war is going to undermine the dollar?
​
It he defeats anyone it'll be a part of poor old Ukraine and only because the West didn't have the balls to release funds and weapons fast enough.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

You fundy nut jobs want the apocalypse, probably just say 'I told you so'. You've been shouting "doom, doom, we're all doomed" for as long I've been here. But the sky just fails to fall. It must be awfully disappointing.

You really need to sit your obsession with the internet. it's not good for you.
