It’s happening!

Please tell me they won’t kiss and make up anytime soon.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I hope they fight to DEATH. But both are sick fucks so the final outcome still might not be great.

Somehow this feels like a massive bluff, or at least bluster. As fun as it would be to see Wagner march on the Kremlin, I just can't see it.

I'm sure there's a version of events in which they both die horribly, we're just highly unlikely to see it.

As satisfying as it would be to see Putin handed his arse in this very embarrassing way, Wagner are completely unhinged and hardly a brighter future. We can only hope they all kill each other.

Maybe Wagner will hand out some free hot dogs and they’ll settle their differences. Nothing you can’t sort out over a nice hot dog

It's time for Russia to apply for Nato membership, and for Turkey to veto it asking for something in return

Think of the lovely photos!

Prigozhin does look UTTERLY FERAL. Perhaps some pix of him posing on a pony would improve the PR

I agree that it doesn’t make much sense. What will Wagner person think he will achieve?

An inflated sense of importance. And an increase in sales of his delicious hot dogs

No prizes for guessing which detail of his biography I’m most fascinated and amused by

HUNTYS I’m a little GOOPED and GAGGED by this turn of events!

No one:

Prigozhin turning on the Russian Military:

Wait in that analogy is the War in Ukraine ARTPOP

Is it like when Geri left the Spice Girls and released ‘Look at Me’?

It's more like Geri leaving the Spice Girls and then undermining the group by trolling them at the BRIT awards and releasing a solo single on the same day as Emma Bunton.

So is Prigozhin Kim in this scenario?

I'm glad Ramzan Kadyrov has now stuck his oar in, that will really calm everything down.

That's your answer to EVERYTHING.

At first I thought this may be a false flag to try and lure Ukraine into launching their full-scale offensive, but I guess the fall out between Prigozhin and the senior military is real.

A column of Wagner troops have been spotted in Voronezh, which is on the route straight to Moscow. But yes I’d be amazed if they got anywhere near it.

Even Tokayev (who Putin helped with putting down protests as recently as last year) is refusing to back him

If this weekend doesn't end with either of them hanging upside down from a petrol station then I declare this coup a FLOP

Can't believe Wagner is threatening Putin. He always seemed SUCH FUN

 

[GinAg (39)]

Shit obvious jokes aside, this is GREAT FUN. Good to see the violence coming home.
