Prigozhin says he didn't march to topple Russian leadership
Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has made it clear that he didn't target Putin when he declared his troops would march on Moscow, saying: "We didn't march to overthrow Russia's leadership."

In his 11-minute video message, he says: "The aim of the march was to avoid destruction of Wagner and to hold to account the officials who through their unprofessional actions have committed a massive number of errors".

He says Wagner regrets "they had to hit Russian aviation" and they turned around "to avoid spilling blood of Russian soldiers."

This whole episode confirms what we all know. If this war spreads into conventional war, Russia is done out here. The war in Ukraine is now a war of attrition. They do not have any extra capable troops coming from anywhere.

Putin's only hope at this point is a Trump presidency because if Biden gets re-elected he will apply more pressure.

The conflict will end like the Korean war. Eastern Ukraine will end up being a Russian shyt hole and the Western part will probably join NATO or get some security guarantees and armed to the teeth to prevent encroachment.

Russian invasion forces dropped a chemical projectile on Ukrainian soldiers but with the wind blowing the chemicals back at them, a military spokesperson for the army in the Tauride sector, Valeriy Shershen, said on national television on June 25.

"A prohibited chemical projectile was reportedly dropped pm a Ukrainian position, an aerosol munition with a suffocating action. (However), the wind was blowing in the enemy's direction," Shershen said.

So there's this show called The Last Kingdom on Netflix and without spoiling it, there's this part where 2 armies are going up against each other (Saxons vs Vikings) and the Saxons are outnumbered. But all of a sudden, it's like they get the wind at their back, the Saxons are able to break the Vikings shield wall and they're just cutting down the Vikings like it's nothing.

And the leader of the Vikings is in the back watching all of this transpire like ":ohhh: their God is with them...."

And then he decides to surrender.

Everything that could possibly go wrong for Russia is going wrong. At what point do they realize that divine providence is not on their side and fall back?
