But if the rebellion was real, they could have easily crushed the army when it runs out of reinforcements. They had a low risk high reward situation and they didn't even try it (whether or not it would have ultimately succeeded).
P is basically a woman on her period, and was apparently hostile (to Ukraine's enemies) besides. There was no reason to believe he wouldn't get a mood swing, especially if his demands weren't quickly met.
Exactly my point.
Why would Ukraine risk it? Keep in mind that a massive Ukrainian offensive across the front could have stopped the infighting dead in their tracks. And that is assuming they even had the troops in position to throw everything in it at such short notice. Considering they are regrouping the forces they probably hadn't.
If the coup had suceeded it would have certainly been interesting watching the Wests reaction to it. They complain a lot about Putin but the reality is they are a lot of people in Russia that you want in control even less.
No. I swear the biggest psyop being run right now is that everything is a psyop.
We dont know if there was any cut at all and even if there was, it was much to short to have any effect.
They would install their puppet. They’re not going to let a coup happen they help to instigate and then not put in their own guy there. Then NATO forces will assist until everyone loyal to Putin and everyone disloyal to niggers, faggots, and trannies are fully purged from the ranks.
You are talking about a block that is not even able to keep their puppet governments in power in places like Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan for more than a couple of years. Putting a puppet government in power in Russia surpasses western abilities by a lot. It's not a remotely realistic the scenario. The best they can hope for is to use NGOs and propaganda to slowly push the Russian population and therefore culture in a certain direction.
Erdogan just got re-elected without any proven shenanigans. That coup back then was actually real.
It's a war; by definition, everything that happens IS a psyop. That's how wars work. Every time someone says or does anything, you can expect the reality is wildly different in ways you can't even predict.
With what army? Prigozhin probably timed this for when Ukraine could do diddly squat about it.
Because they have little to lose, and everything to gain.
If Putin keeps his word, yeah
Him not keeping his word would make people hesitant to make deals with him in the future.
You're assuming the Ukrainian Army was in any sort of position or condition to actually do this. I mean, their Counter-Offensive
so far has not exactly been confidence inspiring.
What could they have done with hours notice and intelligence solely from the Russians that depicts a coup that lasted as long as the Lost season finale and was about as straightforward? Nobody saw it coming, they did it all in public and Putin didn't even blame the West for his defection, did you notice? I assumed it was fake until stuff started happening, and then it became a surreal trickle of frequent, juicy information. Don't interrupt your enemy if they're making a mistake, especially if they really want you to know they're making it.
I thought so too at first but then I realized that a crisis which put Russia in panic mode for a day was easily resolved by the potato emperor in a few hours so this doesn't look good for Putin too - makes him look less competent than Lukashenko.
'member Trotsky? First exile, then murder.
Yeah, must suck to put your views out there for a happening in a nation that will persecute you for having an opinion.
