Good thing Prigozhin didn’t hold up a “No war” sign or he would have been jailed for 7 years

Putin, you've been made a fool of today. It won't ever be forgotten.

my take on the day (subject to review):

'Russia, the world's second-most powerful military' vs. one angry boi and his pirate crew

Russian media quotes Peskov:

'The criminal case against Prigozhin is suspended, he will 'head to Belarus'.

Peskov doesn't know what role Prigozhin will play in Belarus.

The authorities will not persecute those members of Wagner who took part in this revolt, considering…

He was several steps away from the Kremlin, and now is going to Belarus: Russian media posted a photo of Prigozhin leaving Rostov.

Prigozhin is coming to Lukashenko.

What will this arrangement lead to? We'll see soon.

WHY RELEASE THIS NEWS NOW?

If it is all over, why would 🇷🇺 News report that,

“During the search in Prigozhin's office they found “his” passports (in other people's names); bags with white powder; guns, 5 kg of gold; & bags with currency.”

???

I ask the City of Hamtramck to tear down the wall of divisiveness they’ve created and raise the flag of equality.

Anyone who accepts evil without protesting against it is one who cooperates with it.

And make no mistake: homophobia and transphobia are indeed forms of evil, just as much as islamophobia is.

Hamtramck:

I am not a stranger to you. I am not an agitator.

I am your attorney general. And yes, I am also gay.

Today, the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability.

First, the world should not be afraid. We know what protects us. Our unity.

Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any…

Locals in Rostov applaud Wagnerites as they pack up to leave the city. The cheering is not it seems because they want them gone but because they support them.

Russia lost 7 planes and helis today... to Russia.

WarTranslated (Dmitri) Summary of the past 24 hours

No one's going to take Wagner seriously now 😂

Prigozhin says it's over:

'They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood…

IS IT OVER?!?!

Lukashenko, dictator of Belarus 🇧🇾, proposed that if Prigozhin quits his Mosvow campaign, the leadership of the 🇷🇺 Ministry of Defense will resign & Prigozhin will be able to go focus on projects in Africa.

Prigozhin responded, “Realizing all the responsibility…

So Prigozhin just backed down from throwing one of the biggest temper tantrums the world has ever seen?

Let’s remember, we’re not exactly dealing with the most rational (or sober) actors here.

#RussiaInChaos

New statement by Prigozhin:

'We are turning our convoys around and are leaving in the opposite direction to field camps according to plan.

Wagner PMC was to be closed off. We went out on 23rd June to the 'Justice March'. In 24 hours we walked short on 200 km from Moscow.…

6/ But this moment will have serious international implications. Every nation that has sided with Moscow or remained on the sidelines of the Ukraine War will now reassess. Even if Putin survives, he will be badly weakened as will his effort in Ukraine.

5/ Thus, the United States needs to let this play out and not appear as if we are meddling or taking sides. Our first priority is protecting US citizens and our friends in Ukraine.
