Kadyrov has the approximate intelligence of a well-used sheet of toilet paper.

Macchiavelli is spinning in his grave
tbh Niccolo would not have considered Wagner to be mercenaries since they are Russian
Kadyrov declared his support for Putin. Interesting. I expected him to stay silent and wait it out.
I think he's still a bit salty of that confrontation and murder attempt of his BROTHER Adam by Utkin and pal.
Also expecting anything smart from Kadyrov is a receipe for disapointment

I don't expect smart, I expect basic survival instincts.

Dude doesn't have object permanance yet, crisis assessment might aswell be 4 dimension geometry for him.
Akhmat is filming itself rolling toward Rostov...So who is remaining in Bakhmut ? The newly reformed VDV, and that's about it ?

Damn, I'm shocked (not lol) that the usual pro-russian shill channels on YouTube (HistoryLegends and Alexander Mercouris) have suddenly been silent all of a sudden. lol

China, it may be a great time to return historical lands. You may even ask your friend Kim to invade Vladivostok for you, claiming that you know nothing

My Mongolian nationalist friend is laughing his ass off right now. He says it's karma for his Buryat friend (or rather, more than friend) getting drafted into the army a few months ago. Man's been fully enveloped in hate for vatniks since then and I don't blame him at all.

So Russia realized having a mercenary force as a significant part of your military is a terrible idea a bit too late, and started to shut them out, try to take forces away from them, and order them into the meat grinder in an attempt to weaken them? I guess Prigozhin basically had the options to get the heck out (with nowhere to realistically go), wait for his head to be on the block, or 'go all in' at that point...

I want to point out that Prigozhin reportedly outright stated that Russia's reasons for invading Ukraine were false...probably to convince some of the conscripts that if they fight with Wagner they won't have to fight this war anymore.

So there's a solid chance that if Prigozhin somehow wins this he's going to call off the war, maybe with enough concessions for Ukraine to be happy, if only so he can pull all his troops and resources back home to establish control.

Even if he doesn't, this isn't going to do the war effort much good.

At a bare minimum, Wagner's going to be a mess for a bit. At the most, they'll recall the troops to reestablish order whichever side wins.

Not to mention that there's likely to be immediate confusion on the front lines as the Russian military focuses inwards, even if temporarily.

I'm kind of disappointed he didn't care about his image enough to stay, perhaps until it was just a bit too late and he could be shot down.

When your arch-rival stayed when his capital was shelled to rubble and you flee from some tanks it really isn't doing wonders for your strongman image.
