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.
They've supposedly shot one Defence Ministry Aircraft down already.
It was just a matter of time until they start also to hit civilian trucks.
Taking bit of high level view here, how strategically dumb is to arm a private army with AA , armor and heavy artillery?
Headed to Moscow, as reported all over Twitter.
At first I thought it might be a plot to trick Ukraine into doing something but this looks freaking real! Wow…
He seems not on the Prigozin train ? Where does he stand
Dana White to announce Putin vs. Prigozhin UFC cage match any moment now.
Surprised they haven’t shut down Telegram and VK yet.
Why is everything so low rent quality? Like watching your sad uncle pleading to Sharon, his ex wife to let him see the kids while lamenting the influx of migrants.
Can Telegram be shut? Isn't it distributed? (I don't use it)
Pretty crazy hey? I was thinking along the same lines but this appears to be the real deal. It's all kicking off in Moscow
Why would they need to attack civilian places in Rostov? They already control it. I don't see how Prigozhin would surrender either, he is dying on this hill.
What will be amazing, is seeing all the western Russian apologists, the anti-Biden, anti-Ukraine, alt-tight cabal quickly pivot from defending Russian aggression and the Wagner Group, to condemning the Wagner group and implying they're funded by the CIA etc.
You're coming at it like Putin is some 4D chess level dictator, he's not. He's notoriously thick.
Does this end like Gaddaffi with Putin in a sewer pipe being dragged down some back street by a mob of people?
Does Russia have even enough manpower left to defend Moscow if 20k battle-hardened soldiers are targeting the city and have solid AA power?
He is not a grandmaster but he is (was) not that dumb either, you don't ammass such power without being cunning. I think he got fixated on Ukraine and gave too much power to Prigozhin , something he would be very careful to do otherwise.
I imagine Putin has long deserted Moscow anyway?
To be fair ideological continuity has never been their strong point.
This is as bad as trying to follow a goal in a non-league match that some arsehole has tried to film in portrait. Do they realise why eyes are arranged on the head in a horizontal manner and not vertical? No idea what's going on.
It's clear he's unwell and was trying to legacy build and it's blowing up in his stupid fat face.
It seems Wagner has a bit of a free run at Moscow since parts of the.military are welcoming them with open arms. Ironically similar to the scenario Putin allegedly had in mind when targeting Kyev
Seems that way.
Watching how Qaddafi ended apparently affected Putin to where he will take measures to avoid it happening to him. As an old KGB guy, he may opt for a capsule of something or the other.
Imagine being in some car park not knowing what's going on and suddenly you have AA shooting at your own helis. I'm not sure I would have done better

I reckon a few inner circle people turn on him. Perhaps that's more a preference.
Issue is, the fall out from this, as unstable and as horrible as he is, will be worse as there will be power grabs from horrible people who'll likely be worse.
Nope, but I’m in the north side of the city
According to the Danish military specialists om TV, Wagner don't stand a chance if things get violent.
Yeah I've long feared that whoever is able to topple Vlad will be even worse. But if this happens it will have been himself and I have hope that whatever follows, while probably horrible for a lot of Russians, will stay inside Russia.
Very, considering they seemed to be a lot more competent than own military.
