I’m super curious to see what happens. Doesn’t Putin directly command the Rosguardia (or whatever it’s called) which is like 200k soldiers? I don’t think those roll up to the Russian MOD so they aren’t in Ukraine.
Apparently, Priogi and Lukashenko have been talking and Wagner's turning back from Moscow.
Putin can't let this go, right? Even if he backs off, Prickozhin openly declared war on the MoD. I don't see how Putain can just allow a direct challenge to state authority like that to go unpunished, even if it was couched in the typical "good tsar, bad boyars," conflict avoidance language. And why's Luka involved?

This whole situation is nuts.

The NCD Oracles foresaw the demise of the Eastern Bear to be true.
And so it was.

But where is the King In The North? Is NCD the Prophesied Autist of Note?
