    Gelukkig ziet Europa het als een intern probleem.
    Het laatste wat wenselijk is is dat wij erin betrokken worden.

    Wij zijn al genoeg betrokken bij de oorlog tussen Rusland en Oekraine.
    Speelde u nou werkelijk met de gedachte dat Europa hierbij betrokken zou willen worden?
    Dit is inderdaad een intern probleem. De inval van Rusland in Oekraïne niet.
    Maar u bemoeit zichzelf er misschien ook liever niet mee als u ziet dat er een buurman beroofd wordt.

    Russia is on the verge of total disintegration, as local elites scramble for an escape

    www.yahoo.com/news/russia-verge-total...

    This is the beginning of the end for Vladimir Putin. That may seem an odd thing to say when he is in command of nearly five million armed men in various police, military and paramilitary units. A mutiny by 25,000 mercenaries a thousand miles away might appear, at first glance, to be a minor irritant.

    But that is not how autocracies work. Putin’s power rests on projection, on propaganda, on the image of invincibility. Now, all of a sudden, the curtain is being snatched back, revealing the Wizard of Oz as a small, mediocre, frightened man.

    From the outside, dictatorships can look monolithic. One of the reasons that Western Kremlinologists failed to predict the end of the Soviet Union was that they knew little of the necessarily secret rivalries within it. None of them foresaw that the chief instrument in the dissolution of the USSR would be Boris Yeltsin’s Russian Federation.

    Today, the same Russian Federation appears united. Putin’s approval ratings hover around 80 per cent, and his most vocal opponents are in exile or in prison. There are no meaningful opposition parties or critical newspapers. People rally to their leaders during war, and the effect of sanctions has been to strengthen Putin’s control over the economy.

    Look closer, though, and that unity begins to look provisional. The siloviki, the strongmen around Putin, sense his vulnerability, and are making alliances in preparation for the transition. The generals and admirals who hold the other half of the nuclear codes are manoeuvring. Perhaps nine of Russia’s regions and republics could be ready to call independence referendums, having had enough of a Muscovite clique which seizes their natural resources, conscripts their young men, and offers them nothing in return.

    There have been reports that large corporations such as Gazprom have been building private armies, presumably in anticipation of having to defend their assets with force in the chaos that follows Putin. There is occasional talk of absorbing these militias into the regular army; but a more immediate question may be which faction they back when the regime cracks.

    One man who understands these subtleties is Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, a minor Leningrad gangster who rose with Putin and was rewarded with a big catering contract before he launched the Wagner Group.

    Wagner’s brutal mercenaries are active in some of the most benighted places on earth. Among other things, they guard gold mines in Sudan and energy deposits in Libya. Their soldiers are often the refuse of Russian jails, but their officers tend to be former regulars, in many cases men who have been cashiered for insubordination, pilfering or violence. Hence their constant need to disparage the army, to portray themselves as the real professionals.

    We’ll come in a moment to Prigozhin’s motives. For now, note the single most extraordinary fact of the past 24 hours, namely that Wagner, which could not complete the capture of Bakhmut in six months, was able to take the Russian city of Rostov in six hours.

    Hitler said of the Soviet Union that, once you kicked in the door, the whole rotten structure would come tumbling down. Certainly the refusal of some Russian regulars to engage the Wagner mutineers suggests either a collapse of morale on their part or a measure of prearrangement.

    In an update, the advisor added that more explosions were also heard in Urzuf, but now from the direction of the village of Manhush.

    "14:16. Urzuf. It’s loud again. Reports from the ground say it’s the direction of Manhush. Really nice," added the mayor's advisor.

    As reported, explosions have become more frequent in settlements along the Sea of Azov’s coast captured by Russian invaders, while the occupation army has intensified their efforts to fortify the littoral.

    Eigenlijk wel een buitenkansje voor Georgie om Zuid Ossetie en Abchazie terug te claimen. Maar dan moet je wel ballen hebben als President.
