So, we have the Free Russian liberation group wandering around and taking random towns from Putin. Then we have part of Wagner literally rolling up to military headquarters in tanks, forcing the head to flee. Right now, AFAICT, they're cruising up the highway to Moscow, which is being carved up by trench diggers of the Russian army in anticipation of the convoy. Then there are statements by Kadyrov that seem to support Putin, making it a double coup (though I haven't seen anything between the Wagner subgroups).

I think this is a Civil Double Mu-terr-coup-tionary Attack (mutiny, terrorist attack, military coup, revolution). Fucking Wild.

Where can I read reports about the statements that Kadyrov had said?

Sorry for missing this. I basically posted and went to bed. I love when my sleep schedule makes me look like I'm spreading misinformation! Now it's all over the news, but I totally understand asking for a source at the time. Cheers.

It's okay, doc. Your sleep is important for your mental health. Keep up that momentum.
