A private military propped up over years by putin and sent to Ukraine turns on him due to the miserable conditions they had to endure and the overall management of the war. Make no mistake, Wagner's boss is an ultra-nationalist / authoritarian like Putin, but for now they're fighting each other.

Well, there's this "mega"thread...
That thread is on beehaw, a lot of people wonβt be able to participate in it.
Russian civil war. How many is that now?
The mercenaries fighting for Russia have revolted and are going towards Moscow to remove the general of the Russian army. They fought the Russian army on the way, but most russian soldiers have surrendered or even joined them, so they have moved very quickly.
Putin has fled Moscow earlier today. He's allegedly in St.Petersburg.
All roads around Moscow are closed. Not sure why. The mercenaries probably won't be stopping to show their ID.
They will reach Moscow later today if they continue. That would be a good time to be glued to the TV because this will likely be a very historical event.
Edit: i found out the roads are closed because they are digging moats to prevent tanks from entering Moscow.
Digging moats is so... medieval.
the mercenaries got tired of Putin's bullshit and decided to attack towards Moscow
Special internal discussion.
A group of Russian mercenaries betrayed Putin and now seems to be trying to overthrow him (though the mercenary group claims they're only fighting the leadership of the military)
Everyone is letting Putinβs ex chef cook.
