    So his plan was to start a coup with 21% of his normal force? No wonder they didn’t make Moscow

        This shows how effective nuclear weapons are as a deterrent. The threat of them is the only thing keeping the war going this long.

      My guess is that he planned on a popular uprising to join him along the way, and while he’s super popular, so is Putin. It didn’t materialize.

        “By popular uprising you mean Telegram reactions right? If I 👍, I’m doing my part?” - Russian Mellenials, probably

      The official said the majority of Wagner fighters in Ukraine — 49,000 — were prisoners.

      I’m guessing they compromised a large portion of the dead. So not 21% of his normal forces.
