(#5256) The slow boil that was the Russian implosion has now heated up!

      Little did I know that yesterday morning when all seemed like a slow process toward Russian implosion would by noon turn into a hot simmering mess. The wagner leader, who is a Russian ally and mercenary army founder, has declared war on the Russian ministry of defense. He is pissed off at the Russian military for not giving him timely weapons and other supplies, among other things, to help keep his army from being decimated by Ukrainian forces. In fact he claims that the Russian military actually attacked and killed a large handful of his troops while they were encamped in Russian held occupied territory.
     So now he wants to go to Moscow with his 25,000 strong private army and take over the ministry of defense. At least that is what he is showing but the leader of the wagners is also fortifying an area near Ukraine where Russia is storing and distributing logistical and tactical weapons and supplies. By cutting off Russian access to their supply hub the leader of the wagners is also cutting off a major supplier of armaments to the Russian army fighting in Ukraine. All of this civil war like moment is a great advantage to the Ukrainians as they will now more than ever be able to break through the Russian defenses and pour into the Russian occupied territories to reclaim them.
     As to what happens to putin and his kremlin allies we shall shortly see as the leader of the wagners is not playing around. He could well be trying to create a coup within Russia and install himself as the power behind Russian politics. As I am writing this I am itching to get over to Ukrainian news so that I can see the latest developments since last night. The victory Ukraine has been planning on achieving for the last 17 months is now closer than ever as this civil uprising by the wagners may well ensnare the fancy of the Russian people to have a way out from under putin's boot on their neck.
