Russia - civil war has broken out

[Anonymous]

Another step toward civil war in Russia?

Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the outspoken Russian mercenary tycoon, accused the Russian military of attacking his private forces on Friday, shortly after he described his country’s invasion of Ukraine as a “racket” perpetrated by a corrupt elite chasing money and glory without concern for Russian lives.

In a vague statement, Mr. Prigozhin promised retaliation for the alleged strikes and declared that Wagner fighters would march to “uncover the reasons behind the ongoing chaos in the country.”

After Mr. Prigozhin’s allegations became public, the state news agency, Tass, reported that the country’s top security agency, the F.S.B., had opened a criminal investigation in connection with Mr. Prigozhin’s statements, including his apparent calls for armed rebellion.

Prigozhin:

"All patriots of Russia, true patriots of the country who know history and are not fans of the weak authorities that betrayed the interests of the state, come out into the streets, we'll find you weapons.

This night we will settle the issue of traitors and criminals that brought shame upon Russia. Their names are Shoigu and Gerasimov.

Shoigu will be hung on the Red Square and will lie in the Mausoleum with Lenin"

Tons of pre-recorded video addresses by Russian soldiers in support of Shoigu and the MoD have appeared online. The Russian army is clearly afraid of hordes of soldiers defecting to Prigozhin. I think it's unavoidable.

Was going to say this feels a little different than prior unrest in Russia.

Feels like a head fake by Russia. This would allow them to regroup forces in Russia.
