A lot is still unclear, though it seems more serious than the usual reporting.

Rybar reports 3 aircraft shot down by Wagner, aviation is striking at Wagner columns. Footage of a blown up oil depot and a highway crossing has come up. After they took over the HQ of the Southern Military District in Rostov this morning and blocked off the city. Prigozhin met the Deputy Minister of Defence there, what happened to him is unclear.

This is definitely serious. People are dying already.

And all that, because Wagner wants the head of the MOD removed...which is the dumbest fucking reason for an armed rebellion I've ever heard.

That does seem far more serious than the last thing I've read. But for my own sanity I will not follow the news closely today.

which is the dumbest fucking reason for an armed rebellion I’ve ever heard.

Also, CIA-backed insurgents around the world in shambles

Yeah, there is no universe in which a rebellion aimed at toppling only a portion of the government works, at least if you're going up against a strong and popular leader (which Putin appears to be).
