Date: June 5th, 2025 11:26 PM Author: cracking burgundy sneaky criminal Prighozin's mutiny required 1000x more guts than Musk's tantrum, but even Prighozin backed down from his drive towards Moscow when he got word from his contacts in the military that a special forces battalion loyal to Putin was deploying on a crucial bridge over a large river south of Moscow. Reportedly, they had every intention of defending it or, in the worst case scenario, blowing it up. There's some video of them deploying, and they seemed to mean business.
I wonder what Prighozin's bridge was for Musk - maybe the poll showing only 6% of Republicans supported him over Trump.
In any event, it sucks for the viewing audience that there always seems to be a Prighozin's bridge in situations like this. |

Was Prighozin really planning on overthrowing Putin. And then all of a sudden “backs down” with his fate sealed in stone. Makes no sense to me.

But after seeing how the mutiny played out, there does seem to have been a 5% chance considering that, except for that last special forces unit, almost all of Russia's military had been unwilling to fight the Wagner mutineers. Pilots were refusing orders to bomb their convoy and shit. Prighozin must have had reason to believe that this would be the case.

There was a large Russian army base there- pretty sure they had orders not to allow that to happen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734053&forum_id=2],#48991205) |
