Prigozhin mutiny thread

I hate to ring the alarm here, but this is a very bad situation for Russia's international reputation.This is not to be taken lightly.A coup never happens out of thin air.
What the hell was the FSB doing? Everyone thought Russia had the best intelligence, and yet this grand debacle Heads should be rolled in the FSB too for not being able to prevent this shitshow.

Shoigu and Gerasimov should have made public statements and come out clean; after all, this feud is about them. Prigozhin is a dick, and he has committed an unforgivable crime, but these two gentelmen are not angels either.They should have addressed grievances.Maybe it wouldn't have gotten to this point had they addressed the situation on time.
They are not unaccountable just because they're at the top of the military command.
If Surovikin, Kadyrov, Medvedev, and Putin could all come out and make public statements, why can't these two gentlemen?
I mean, Shoigu never served a day in the military. So he needs to get off his shiny high horse. Ignoring the situation and maintaining silence doesn't help in this situation.

It's not like they didn't see it coming. They're all aware of this resentment, but they choose to ignore it, just like they ignored the Maidan coup in Ukraine and let the Nazis takeover and build fortifications in Donbass.
 
Even ultra-Putin fans and apologists in the Duran have expressed their frustration at this situation. They've admitted that this time Putin and the Military leadership made a big blunder by not curtailing Prigo when he acted crazy in Bakhmut.
 
Of course, the first mistake was to create a private mercenary group, arm them to the teeth, and then let it loose. Who could have guessed what could go wrong? Russia was raising a venomous serpent, not a goat dog.
 
Such a thing could never happen in my country, nor in China, Cuba, or any other serious country.
 
The coup itself has a bad image internationally, but not being decisive is even worse.
The Russian National Guard has more than 300,000 personnel, so it could easily take over some 25,000 men, and not all of them are crazy traitors.
But Putin and the Military are too unsure of themselves to take serious action, aka kiling the traitors in spot.

Mistakes can be corrected later, but now it's time to act tough on this mutiny. otherwise, it would set a bad example.

Papa Dragon is right on the money this time. This is not the time to pussyfoot around. Kill Prigo and his loyalists and get it over quickly, ideally within 24 hours,
but it's unlikely to happen now, so maybe within the next couple of days. If not, there could be serious International consequences for Russia's reputation as a leader of a multipolar world view.
 
Nobody likes to do business with a politically unstable country, especially in the wake of Western sanctions and the threat of US military intervention.
If Russia can't keep track of its own country, then how could the global south expect Russia to protect them from the wrath of the US-led collective West?
Russia could experience real isolation if it doesn't play this well.
 
Now that shit has hit the roof, Russia should take some drastic actions.
First things first, they should impose total censorship on the media.
RT has done more harm than good with their uncontrolled vegu reporting, which gives a bad impression.
Why not ban the internet in the region where the rebellion has strong footing?
Believe me, It's effective. It's so much easier to crush disinformation and organised coups this way.
India, a democracy, would have done it in a heartbeat.
I am not even going to speculate on what countries like China, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia would have done here.
 
It's unthinkable for us that such things could happen in Russia.
Local Indian media channels have already begun to compare Russia with Pakistan and Myanmar.
Not just India, but other pro-Z countries are also in shock and disbelief.
This would not happen in politically stable countries like China, India, Cuba, etc.
Russia still has time, but it has to take tough actions against any hostility and reassure the global south that Russia's internal political stability is rock solid and there is no need to worry about any future political discontent inside Russia.
