- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
My guess is that he's hoping for the lower rank commanders to join him and get the military on his side through them.

Russian youth don't give afI just can't believe what I've just seen.
Probably wondering whether to ticket the tanks for not feeding the meter. I get the confusion.

You'd think he'd ask for a half day in the circumstances.
Why hasn't Vlad called on his barbarian vassals in Chechnya to help out yet ?
When the MOD said they needed street sweepers, I don't think this is what they meant.
There's something almost heroic about continuing to do such a mundane job under such extreme circumstances. What a guy.
In Prigozhin’s Russia, street clean you!

Yeah.
They must suck a lot worse than anything we could imagine with a fake reputation.
CNN and MSNBC have spent most of the evening trying to squeeze a bit more ratings out of the Titanic sub story than covering a potential coup in Russia.
If the local Russian military/reserve decide to throw in on Wagner's side, things could get very spicy in Russia over the next few days.
I wonder how the west would react to Putin nuking one of his own cities.

I can't shake my feeling that we are missing something here. It seems too easy and peaceful so far.
The only way this could be more in my wheelhouse is if Roy Keane tweeted it
Tin foil hat on, I guess could all be an elaborate show; some kind of distraction or something. Seems doubtful though as this is pretty embarrassing for Putin.
This is insane. So Prigozhin is in Rostov and demanding Shoigu and Gerasimov be handed over/come to meet him.

And that’s one of my favorite movie quotes
I'm not sure this is a good thing for Ukraine, to be honest.
I don't know how this thing will end for Russia, but I wanted to share this clip from The Crown with a good description of what makes coups feasible or not.
The setting is in 1968, when disgruntled politicians/elites talked about replacing PM Harold Wilson.
Successful coups require 5 key elements: 1) control of the media, 2) control of the economy, 3) the capture of administrative targets, 4) the loyalty of the military, and 5) legitimacy.
If the MOD yields to his demands, knowing Prigozhin's willingness to go even dirtier with his combat tactics, definitely not.

How so?
Our PM, Albo, has just told Russia that it should now leave Ukraine. This could have been over ages ago if only someone had thought of this earlier.
Told you that Prigozhin has a real chance, he calculated well.
God knows what those demands and military decisions are.
Two downed Russian MoD helicopters by Wagner.
Chances of Vlad dropping a nuke on Rostov? Crazy times.
Putin to address the nation in 5mins, let’s who he sides with.
It's all one big misunderstanding, I'm sure they'll work things out.
