The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

Gameface said:
Yeah to be serious, I would kind of rather Russia just continue down this loser path that they've been on then to think of a possibility where a ****ing mercenary army thug gains control of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and might still want to continue this war against Ukraine.

Absolutely. This has a long way to go and id be surprised to see Putin deposed. But it is ironic that a little over a year ago Kyiv was preparing for an invasion. Now Moscow is… what an amazing war. Super effective.
 
Pretty sure Prigozhin was behind all the troll farms that boosted Clinton conspiracies and ****ed with the electorate in 2016. His troll farms did stuff like showing the Pope endorsing Trump and created groups of fellow African Americans who were disenchanted with Clinton and decided to stay home rather than vote. I’m unsure what he’ll do in Ukraine if given power. Would he use weapons or tactics that even Putin wouldn’t? Will he pull out seeing what a mess this has made? He has no love for the west or America. In fact, he sounds like he’s even more nationalist than Putin. Yikes and now it sounds like the Chechens, bought off by Putin, are moving to head off Wagner. This is escalating into a civil war.

This is what I’m reading from news outlets and other Russian insiders.

I know I know, he’s old and boring. But isn’t it nice to have a calm and mature leader as president? He’s letting Russia figure things out on their own. Imagine if Trump were president? He’d be tweeting like a teenage girl. He’d be undercutting our own interests. He’d be giving Russia ammo to claim that this was a CIA operation. He’d be making the situation all about himself.

Instead, fortunately, we have a government that is playing this cool. Letting this sort itself out. Playing the long game. After all, things will most likely get worse in Russia before they get better.

It is too early to know, but Prigozhin may have just taken over Russia. If Prigozhin loyalists are appointed as the new heads of the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of the Interior, and FSB then Prigozhin has control of Russia even if Putin is still President.

When you have a force that has been sweeping through the country like a janitor on his second day on the job, you don't quit just to avoid spilling Russian blood, not when you've already spilled it. The question is, what did he get out of it? I suspect he'll be the new defense minister, as well as at least $1B richer. Because it's all about the power and the money. It always is.

2033 -- Mogilev, Belarus -- Imperial Palace Hotel

Prigozhin: "Hi I'd like a room for the night."
Hotel Clerk: "Very well, sir, what type of room would you like?"
P: "No windows!"
HC: "Sir, all of our rooms have windows."
P: "I'll pay double, just board up the windows, twice."
HC: "I'm not sure..."
P: "Just ****ing do it! I'll pay 10 times the normal rate. I just can't be near any window, ever."
HC: Picks up the desk phone "Hi boss, this is Arkady at the front desk, I have a man here who will only stay in a room with no windows or if the windows are boarded up."
Boss: "Who is this guest?"
HC: Attention back on Prigozhin, "Sir, may I ask you name?"
P: "I'm Yevgeny Prigozhin."
HC: Back on the phone "He is Mr. Yevgeny Prigohzin, sir."
B: "Ahhh, I understand. Tell Mr. Prigozhin that we will take care of this immediately and that we much appreciate his patronage."
HC: "Mr. Prigohzin, we will take care of the issue immediately and you room will be ready soon. We appreciate that you have chosen to stay with us. Would you care for a complimentary beverage at the bar and maybe something to eat?"
P: "I only eat and drink food that I purchased myself, after wandering randomly for more than an hour, from a shop that I have never been to before, thank you."
