    Who. The fuck. Advances on Moscow, aborts it and then expects everything to be fine!? I’ve seen terrible movies with more logical plots…

        If this was a concern then you had to be a complete moron to even try.

          To try what? Seems like he was intent on sending a message and didn’t actually want to replace Putin.

            Yep. It was very clear he wanted to replace or at least humiliate the minister of defense. He was complaining over lack of support from MoD all the time.

    Ah, the classic prize for capitulation instead of finishing your coup. That shit was wild.

    Definite “where were you?” vibes about reading “there’s a paramilitary coup in Russia!” and going “Uhh… uhhhhhhh… g-- good?”

    One of the few countries in the world and times in history where you have to sit back and think about it, in real time, and weigh whether it’s gonna be awful for them or awful for them and everyone else.
