I know the Russian army (including Wagner) is bogged down in Ukraine and losses were high but what are the chances of a mercenary based coup?
If Putin gets desperate wouldn't he just start using heavy weapons? Doesn't Russia have a history of disregarding their own populations lives?
So what is this guy doing rising up?

- croes 3y agoIsn't Putin's whole justification to protect russian people? Russian weapons against russian people contradicts that.

- croes 3y agoI think more of the russian people. It's one thing to trick them to believe Ukraine is full of Nazis, it's another thing to claim bombing Russians is protecting Russians.
