Rostov is important here as it’s a city where Shoygu arrived earlier to make some “preparations” for the “coup”, and where Prigozhin claimed Shoygu hid 2,000 Russian corpses to hide casualties. This is also where Russian Army allegedly shelled the Wagner units.
Numerous reports now of the Russian MIA forces blocking roads. It’s unclear if the Wagner units, if they are to move anywhere, are near Rostov.

The Massive Russian Juggernaut keeps on Advancing and Pushing Forward – No One can Defeat Russia and the Ukraine will be LIBERATED !!!! Bravo Russia Bravo !
I think we should shut the whole thing down until Glenn Reynolds figures out what the HELL is going on.
I see Sky reporting a poll which shows Yes to da Voice now at 46%.
The Sky link shows a fat talking head saying that, but no details.
Anyone got details?
Unconfirmed report of a Wagner unit on the highway 350 km north of Rostov. Geolocated though.
Hey, Rotten!
What’s Martin Armstrong say?
Cope and seethe, BrOSINT. The pincer move is coming after the Hostomel feint.
Can Russia defeat Russia?
Commenter on Unz says it’s likely fake, 50% chance of this:
Commenter history
Dot – Most of the OSINT guys seem to be Ukie supporters. But they do try to play a straight bat and confirm the open source intel that they report.
The Hostomel thought occurred to me too – since the Russians ran out of fuel. If they’d each strapped a 1000 L carboy of fuel on the back of their tanks instead of having to wait fruitlessly for the tanker trucks to not arrive, history might be different.
Written words can be difficult to effectively convey sarcasm with. Have you even read Armchair Copelord, Bruce?
Well, I’m sold on it then.
Annoying.
They publish a bare polling number, but no detail.
Yes vs No vs Undecided, and state-by-state numbers are what matter.
If Prighozin to to succeed in removing Shoigu, he’ll need a lot more than a convoy or 2. But perhaps the Wagner siege at Rostov Russian Military HQ is providing for their protection.
Its history suggests that Russia’s main achievement is in its endless capacity to defeat Russia.
Dot – The OSINT guys strike me as geeks each with a basement full of carefully modded Airfix models of every tank ever made. With accurate decals. They get all excited whenever they see a rare weapon system or radar truck.
The Woke West’s ‘modern culture’ is as strong as a carbon fiber sub. Doomed to fail, just a question of time.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for the discussion among the Uke generals as they watched the Wagner dudes, who they have fought for the past year and who killed many of their countrymen, strap massive fuel loads to their troop convoys heading north.
On the one hand, these mercenary sons of bitches deserve to die, and there’s no telling when you’ll get a better opportunity to kill a lot of them with a few well-placed missiles to make all that accelerant go boom.
On the other hand, would they do more damage to your real enemy if you sat back saying sayonara and bon voyage?
Some of them have been gang pressed and one made it into Sweden as a refugee and talked to the Western media.
Take care of Marya (netflix)
It’s a doco about a mother driven to suicide and a family almost destroyed by a hospital and legal system.
A perfect example of the process killing.
The cannon fodder victims of the system are mostly dead already, Dot. If you’ve survived this long in Wagner, you’re probably a hardened soldier.
I wonder who opened the cheque book to the Wagner mercenaries.
They’re either not getting paid or have received a better offer.
Interesting. You normally start these motors with methanol. Once the engine clicks over, a lever is pulled and the nitromethane kicks in.
Something to go figure it.

The Uke generals are undoubtedly much more focused on the carnage their forces are experiencing now with their failed counter-offensive and the horrendous defeat recently inflicted on them in Bakhmut. Time to change your nappy, mOron.
monty
There’s no need to dehumanise Russians here. You’re not a general giving me the order to shoot the “Russian apes”. I don’t need to get over the instinct not to kill; you don’t need me to consider this act that will never eventuate as something unworthy of conscientious reflection.
They’re people too and the only glee I have in this is people getting egg on their faces after they’ve berated me for a year and a half about my failure to recognise Putin’s strategic brilliance and the “cancer of Kiev on the whole world”.
War is hell.

And there’s (b), caviar and vodka for everyone!
Now all we need is (c) where he gets all maudlin and blames everyone other than Putin for this whole sorry mess. A few more adverse reports from his trusted bloggers should do it.
“This is a positive change that will not make or have any downside. This is all upside. And I sincerely hope that Australians do vote ‘Yes’.”
Tennis Elbow. You are asking the Voters to vote on something where there is nothing properly explained or written down with NO details. Voters may well vote on Election Promises BUT not on a vague promise for a change to the Australian Constitution. Wise up little man or face up to your Waterloo.
Fine, sure. It is curious, however, that the Ukes are now cheering on the exact same troops they were fighting not that long ago. War makes for strange bedfellows.
Speaking of which, is Putin still sleeping like Peskov said?
Farmer Gez> Wager is a multinational corp with many revenue streams. And probably a few moscovite B’s donating to a. good cause.
For Ukes: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Priggy has promised to hang that satanic shaman Shoigu in Red Square, so Aleksandr Dugin should be happy that some occultic heresies will be purged from the Kremlin and Duma. It’s a pity for Russian ultranationalists that these beliefs originate in Rodnovery and not English-speaking theistic Luciferianism.
This guy is the real boss of Rostov right now.

One wonders how much materiel is still stored in Moscow for defensive manoeuvres, given that they could only drag out a single WW2 relic tank for the May military parade on Victory Day.
Reports of skirmishes in Voronezh, which is only 500km from Moscow. Seems like the front is moving about a thousand times as fast as it ever did in Bakhmut.

Civilians interviewed in Mariupol last year more or less said they don’t trust Putin.
Putin had Kiev surrounded in the first weeks of the War, he signed a Peace Agreement with the Ukes and withdrew troops, then the Hohols broke the agreement.
Plus, Minsk 1 and Minsk II, which they also broke.
Bottom Line:
Putin coulda and shoulda won the War inside a month.
The fact that he went easy is proof of treachery, and the Slavs have woken up.
Enough of this Ukraine rubbish Turd Case. Where is your evidence to prove 41,000 dead Aboriginals in Queensland (Native Police only), Fraser junior killing an aborigine in Toowoomba, and Fraser Junior killing “thousands” of aborigines in 28 years.

Hey, Rotten!
What’s Martin Armstrong say?
He says Fark Off Head Case and a Suitable Case for Treatment. Just STFU and go and play in the traffic at Rush Hour. Actually, he didn’t say it. But I did.
What a turd.
I very much doubt he understands what the 1967 referendum was about otherwise he would notice it served the opposite purpose than The Voice. He may well think it was when Aborigines were given citizenship, or first recognised as human, or some other half-thought out idiocy.
Terra Nullius means that there was no state native to or occupying the territory to be approached as a peer. Which was true. You will find this definition everywhere except Australian websites, where they pretend it meant there were no people, and thus easily discredited.
A very discreditable lie.
But the Stolen Generation is the newest lie. Despite being a defined class for whom we are meant to feel unending guilt. Yet they have been unable to find a single case where an Aboriginal child was removed their family merely because they were Aboriginal as a part of policy, nor record of such a policy, laws, or departments or commissions charged with doing so. They found a nurse who had not released a kid back to his mother and the kid (now a man) won compensation precisely because there was no law or regulation under which it would have been permitted.
Then there is Bolta’s long-standing challenge which has not been met yet.
The practical definition of ‘Stolen Generation’ used applies as much to Whitey as Aborigines – removal for welfare reasons, or parents sending kids off to be looked after and educated.
Albo really is a light weight, and is lucky the MSM is prepared to act as a windbreak otherwise he would be blown away by a mild gust of truth.

To some extents I don’t think it’s very ‘weird’ simply due to the fact that it’s no secret that society is split between hardliners who are sick and tired of Russia being humiliated by the West and this ‘slow-walked’ velvet-glove style war, and the others who are ok with the status quo. And so it was only a matter of time before things boiled over at least to some degree and initiated a kind of reckoning between the two groups
Funny that because I gave nine different scenarios that could happen.
If they’re all wrong, then no one here will be right unless they start making some really off-the-wall claims.

The idea that Russia winning in Ukraine will stop “globohomo” is insane.
What will stop “globohomo” and other woke crap:
*The US stops funding, hosting and being a member of the UN
*Consumers wake up and stop supporting woke companies that want corporatist socialism.
*People stop electing “worker’s” parties & “conservative” parties politicians that are all in on this nonsense and do not care that their constituents do not like this let alone know of the support for this.
(As to the above – DEI only exists because of mandates like a compulsory 40% representation on corporate boards and other nonsense).
*Voters get longer memories and give up their irrational party loyalties.
*Weakening Putin and the CPC who actually push for the West to destroy itself, whilst at the same time grandstanding about the foolishness of woke ideology.
*We push out the Marxist poison from the education system which has churned us out semi-literate, partly innumerate and overly reliant on emotional thinking (as you would be easier to control).

Having accepted a fellowship at Harvard University, Ardern is set to travel to Boston later this year to study and speak on leadership and governance.
Boston is a leftie-run, dirty and crime-ridden city. Should suit her nicely – just like Auckland.

I just watched another doco about Madsen.
The similarities between him and Rush are striking (albeit Madsen’s actions in committing murder were more extreme).
Both had unshakeable confidence in their own God-Oracle abilities, and went to extreme lengths when their omnipotence was either not recognised, or inexplicably didn’t produce stellar results.
I strongly suspect Rush new that the odds of failure were increasing, but rolled the dice anyway.
I don’t mind the “better to burn out than fade away” attitude. Just don’t take people with you.
There are no reports as to whether people shit their pants when Rush and/or Madsen walked into the room.
It’s entirely possible.

I’ve wondered for a while if we could have a referendum to add to the constitution words to the effect “it is treason to alter the constitution”.
This way the only changes thereafter can be by war (takeover/revolution whatever).

And that is that – Russian Civil War II has officially begun.
I’d like a referendum to alter the Constitution, so that anyone sitting in the Senate, and claiming “First Nations sovereignty was never ceded” be booted into the street.
This Prigozhin imbroglio in Wussia sounds like an interesting development. Has he declared that all he has to do is “kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down”?

Critical moment: Putin has ordered the military to crush the rebellion.
This is only a small setback in Operation Sudentenland mk2 for Vlad the shirtless defender of Christendom.
The military are mostly at the front, though. Is he going to recall them? In which case, the Ukes will advance, Crimea falls and Putin loses the war (and probably his head).

A test of morale.
If Putin doesn’t recall his troops at the front: Prigozhin might string him up on a Moscow lamppost, the Imperial Guard might defeat the Jedis or whatever, let’s roll the dice.
If Putin recalls his troops: he definitely loses the war in Ukraine and might get strung up on a lamppost by whoever replaces him, not to mention going down in history as a massive loser.
He has to rely on the dregs of the security forces, basically. Not being helped at the moment by the police saying barley cross fingers.

Early days but reminiscent of the Russian Revolution(s), when army and navy mutinees triggered political events. I suspect Prigozhin is counting on the intervention of one or more Kremlin factions.
Dmitri’s back already? He went to bed only a few hours ago. I suppose for these guys this is history in action, hard to miss. Certainly one of the most dynamic events of the war so far.
RacerX, ascthe object of some of your comment if not all of it, let the person who draws the rapier out get themselves to a lonely duel on the defunct duelling thread. I am sick of being pleasantly occupied here and hurting no-one and having a rapier thrust at my throat by some demented female who has years of past form doing this, attempting to stir up trouble and delight in creating divisive upticks. Those who are juvenile enough to offer them to this performer should think twice about what sort of behaviour they are encouraging. Acting in this way like a load of teenagers on Twitter inevitably creates a sewer.
Geebus!
Meanwhile, what the hell is going on in Russia? Excitingment prevails. What is happening in that big vacuum?
Are all bets off?
You know something, having elderly parents isn’t easy.
Last night, about 9.30 p.m., at the dinner table, just after dessert, my ninety-one year old stepfather went to get up from his chair, and was struggling so my eighty-four year old mother decided to try and help him get up, with the result that he fell and he pulled my elderly mother down too. Now both were on the floor, neither able to get up, so my mother spent the next fifty minutes shuffling to the coffee table to get her mobile. The coffee table is about two metres from the dining table. Once she finally got to the coffee table, she was able to reach for her mobile phone and ring my nephew who had just gone to bed with his wife. My nephew saw the number, spoke to his grandmother and then said to his wife…”They’ve both fallen, I’ll go over”. So, my nephew who has keys, drove over and found the octogenarian and nonagenarian on the floor. He was able to lift my mother who, despite bashing her face on the table as she was pulled down, and with her face covered in blood, was okay and very coherent. My stepfather was not, he was incoherent on the floor so my nephew called the ambos. The ambos turned up about 12.30a.m. and took him to hospital, where he remains. He smashed his hip and needs a hip replacement, not great news for a nonagenarian, especially since he’d smashed his hip socket last year and spent three months in hospital, firstly at Vinnies, then at the Hotel California*, more commonly known as Lulworth House in Elizabeth Bay, and then at rehab hospital.
I didn’t find out any of this until this morning, and after going to Pilates, I went with my mother to the hospital. She was, naturally, distressed, and we couldn’t find disabled parking and so, despite my protestations, she parked illegally and I was worried the car would be towed away whilst we were visiting (thankfully it wasn’t). Anyway, masks are still mandatory in NSW hospitals, ridiculous. Sitting with my frail stepfather, a hospital admin person arrived to speak to speak to my mother so as to admit my stepfather to hospital, he was wearing a mask and we couldn’t understand him. He apologised, and said his English wasn’t good but I told him that it wasn’t his English that was the problem, it was the bloody mask he was wearing!
Anyway, my mother admitted to me that she’d told the doctor on the phone this morning that he’d fallen last week, however she managed to get him up. Neither told anyone of the fall, and he refused to go to the doctor. I was furious. She also admitted that my stepfather had been “odd” ever since that fall, on Wednesday night he’d gotten up at 3.00 a.m., shuffled into the bathroom, and started shaving. She got up and asked him why he was shaving and he said “good morning”, and then said he was getting ready to go and play croquet, and she should get ready too!
* Mum calls Lulworth House “Hotel California” because once you check in, it’s very hard to check out. However, my mother got him out, after much hassle. She did like visiting Lulworth though, she has many friends there!
Allowing an entire force of mercenaries of dubious loyalty out of the front and back in country still fully bombed up was a bit silly.
Some chinese bloke describes Putin’s situation pretty well:
“Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue“
I don’t know if this is right:
The 1877 Census of Aborigines in Victoria showed:
• 201 adults and 93 full-blood Aborigines and 83 adults and 109 children of mixed blood living on reserves, a total of 486 people.
• Aboriginal people living off reserves totalled 435 adults and 45 children of full-blood and 51 adults and 50 children of mixed blood.
Altogether, a total of 581, being an overall total of 1,067 Aboriginal people in Victoria 146 years ago.
• By 1900 the statistics of the time show this remnant population had decreased to about 400, many of whom were by now mixed descent children through interbreeding with the new settlers.
The 2021 Census shows that population of people who identify as Aboriginal in Victoria now numbers 66,000, an increase of 59,600 in 121 years, that’s just over four generations.
The point is Pascoe isn’t the only fake. And if the screech gets in I reckon in a few years every one in Australia will be identifying as 3rd nations.
ah geez, Cassie.
Having looked after my mum for the last fifteen years of her life, all I can say is, it’s a hell of a ride!
Actually, I will add, when they’ve had a couple of bingles, it isn’t just the fall that becomes worrisome, it is that when it happens again, the exhalation of breath, because you’ve been holding it between falls, is almost as hard to overcome.
Best to mum and stepdad Cassie. They both sound brilliant through the stories you have told us here.
Sorry to hear all that Cassie. My old mum also fell a few months ago, in hospital a few weeks with a cracked arm, but is back at home now and very happy to be. Once though she had a similar situation where my stepfather, who was very tall passed out and fell on her, doing damage to both of them. Gravity is not a good thing as we get older. Very best wishes for your mum and stepdad.
The thought of the possibilities associated with a post Putin Russia are terrifying.
Upper Volta with nukes.
Don’t worry bons.

“The thought of the possibilities associated with a post Putin Russia are terrifying.

Yep, any post-Putin Russia will be infinitely worse than a Putin Russia. I suppose the likes of the pervert apologist and DaStink think that a post-Putin Russia will become a woke paradise, pushing creepy gender woohoo and LGBTQIAP+ ideology.
Nup, not going to happen.
Quite impossible! Aborigines weren’t counted in the census until after the 1967 Referendum!
Thanks Pogria and BoN. Elderly parents ain’t easy.
Especially spirited ones like yours!
But who can blame them for not wanting to relinquish their independence?
Hope things go as well as they possibly can, Cassie.
Putin lining up a post-presidential bolt-hole. But Belarus sounds more like a s**t-hole
My mother is 92, and still lives on her own. Certain of my siblings, who opined that she should move into a retirement home, were invited to consult a dictionary as to the meaning of the word “disinherited.”
No, I just think it will be a smaller, angrier and more impotent country. Much like its supporters in the West tbh.
“No, I just think it will be a smaller, angrier and more impotent country. Much like its supporters in the West tbh.”
Nah, speaking of impotency, you really should stop talking about yourself, not becoming.
This is the issue that those proposing massive payments in “compensation” and “reparations” must face – who qualifies, for such payments, and who doesn’t?
I can’t see Russians being happy with Chechnyans deciding their fate.
Okay so we got Wagner, the Chechens and the Muscovites all converging, all we need is the Elves and Dwarves and we’ve got a new Battle of the Five Armies.
Jeez Cassie, I’m really beginning to doubt you are in fact Jewish!
“You know something, having elderly parents isn’t easy.”
It’s a hell of a ride when the dementia kicks in big time. I lived in a rural area when mum came to us. The first few years weren’t too bad. The four years before I had to place her in a nursing home were fun. The more the dementia kicks in, the more cunning they become. I would check on mum in the morning, go back to my house for a cuppa and unbeknown to me, she was off down the driveway with a suitcase in hand, hitchhiking. She also ended up on a list of elderly runaways at the local Police station. Several times I received a phone call and an address to collect mum from some bewildered strangers house.
Quite a few times a strange car would drive in and disgorge mum from the back seat. Only once did one of the samaritans have a go at me about not keeping her safe. I told them they were happy to take her home with them if they liked.
She also had the dubious distinction of being the only resident at the nursing home to have squeezed out of the window from her room. Fortunately, there was a well fenced area outside the rooms. When she could no longer escape, she would play dead. That really freaked out the trainees! lol
“Jeez Cassie, I’m really beginning to doubt you are in fact Jewish!”
Well I am, and what’s that got to do with the Uke/Russian imbroglio?
I don’t support Ukraine, Ukraine is a Jewish cemetery, full of loathsome Jew haters. Perhaps that explains why Monty supports Ukraine.
Anyway, I note that you disappear from here and only appear when things are going awry for Russia. Why?

Elderly independant parents are a worry but infinitely more so if one suffers dementia.
My Mum refused to put Dad into care and refused also to move from their mountain retreat.
We were very concerned and gave her two phones. One to be with her at all times and the the other to live in her bedside drawer for emergencies.
I was unable to contact her one day and eventually got Dad on the house phone. He announced that Mum didn’t want to speak to me. A panicky phone call and a neighbour found her lying in the garden where she had fallen the day before.
Scolding her in hospital for not having her phone, she told me that Dad had binned them because he believed that they were being used by the family to conspire against him.
There is nothing positive that can be said about witnessing the degradation of the most influential people in your life.
Cranky should try, whenever she thinks of using the word “globalists” in a sentence, substituting the phrase “world Jewry”. Which is how her colleagues on the right think of the phrase.
Arky at least admitted he just hates Russians. This appears to be another low quality troll.
Cassie, what a horrible day for your dear mother and stepfather – and the whole Cassie family.
God bless you all, most especially your stepfather.

Shocking data regarding increased breast cancer since the “thing” they lied & manipulated you to get. Coincidence??

Yeah pervert apologist, because there are “globalists”, one of whom is “George Soros”. There’s a new organisation in the USA called “Jews against Soros”, real Jews who don’t like or approve of Soros. Are they anti-Semites? I don’t think so.
Now piss off. You really are a dickhead, of monumental proportions.
Kinda Bigoted and Racist there dude.
AAAAhahahahahaha just fvking with you, but definitely a bigot.
And I’m being lectured about anti-Semitism who once wrote here that some Jew haters and Jew killers have “legitimate grievances”.
Spare me.
For shame, Cassie. I thought you a lady, who didn’t know such vulgarities!
stfu mUnty you gibbering clown
The pervert apologist and his colleagues on the left think that bashing and assaulting women is okay, all because they have different opinions to him and his fellow travellers.
The 2021 Census shows that population of people who identify as Aboriginal in Victoria now numbers 66,000, an increase of 59,600 in 121 years, that’s just over four generations.
6,400 became 66,000 over 4 generations.
Yep, these people, when they have families, tend to have large families.

“It’s hard to know which way those forces will jump – or any of the other units that have been deployed to block a possible move by Wagner’s main force further into Russia and towards Moscow.”
That may explain the injection of Kadyrov into the situation, who only three weeks ago described Putin’s prosecution of the war as weak. The prospective payoff for him & Chechnya must be huge. If he succeeds.
Classic.
