Moscow has announced an “anti-terrorist operation” as the mercenary group says it’s engaging in battles with the regular Russian military.

    Ok, I have a huge and unlikely bingo card: what if Lukashenko is now allied with Prigozhin and is using that to take control of Russia and finally complete his dream of ruling the USSR again?

          Is there a source for this somewhere? I’m seeing reports that he fled to Turkey. Trying to figure out if this is the darkest timeline or the brightest…

            Sorry I missed your comment. By now you may have seen more news about the situation.

            But don’t ask me how this makes sense, I am as lost as you on what happened today. One could hope that there is a hidden logic and we will learn more about this in history lessons, but this being the result of pure chaos is a completely valid option at this point.

      AFAIK Lukashenko’s airplane has travelled to Turkey in the last couple of hours.
