Call me crazy but I think this is the beginning of the end of the war.

[Johnny2X2X]

1. Agree

This is the beginning of the end.

And Russia will have little choice but to pull troops out to try to defend or retake Moscow in the next several days.

2. You have been such a great source of information about this war. I'm excited to read your

posts about it's ending.

6. 25000 Wagner pulled out of Ukraine. If putys gonna fight

He has to pull out troops too.
Just my opinion.

[PortTack]

19. Exactly...Wagner was responsible for the wins in Bakhmut..internal fighting in Russia, good for

Ukraine.

8. I could not agree more,

I click on his posts and ignore most others, especially one.

9. .

3. Sounds like a promising development

but let's face it, there's really not much left of Bakhmut at all. Practically reduced to rubble.

13. Ukraine may smell blood in the water around Bakhmut though

If Bakhmut is lightly defended because of Wagner's exit, Ukraine may decide to push through it in an attempt to get behind Russian defensive lines. If Ukraine could succeed in that, Russia would be in serious jeapardy of getting rolled up just like what happened in Kharkiv Oblast last year.

16. Also this, BUT I'm waiting for Ukraine to make a move to retake Crimea,

This week/this month/this summer, will be coup de gras, and Russia will have no choice but to admit defeat, regardless of who's running the govt in moscow.

20. Looks like Russia is/will be too tied up with its own problems

to worry about whatever they thought they’d accomplished in Ukraine.

They’ve got MUCH bigger problems now.

[Volaris]

21. Agreed 👍

[Tetrachloride]

4. Ukraine has choices.

[Renew Deal]

5. The end of one and the beginning of another.

Or possibly a couple of milestones in WW3

[BootinUp]

7. Things are happening fast. nt

10. Significantly, supplies to all of ukraine could be cut....

Rostov-on-Don is a major supply hub, possibly the supply hub, to russian operations in Ukraine.

If supplies are no longer flowing, russian forces in Ukraine are effectively cut off. Rostov-on-Don supplies not only luhansk and donets, but also Crimea and therefore kherson.

Woops. Too bad. So sad. Anyway....

11. It probably is.

It may also be the end of russia as a country, which would be best, but also...

It appears that Belorussians are seeing a major opportunity ahead.

Will be an interesting next few weeks or months.

12. They will soon run out of ammunition as their supplies have been cut off

with the Wagner take over of the military operations in Rostov and march to Moscow.

14. If Putin is relying on prisoners and other conscripts to fight for him...

He's in a world of shit.

[Richard D]

15. My friend in Kiev

Says that there have been a lot of bombings there.

[Vogon_Glory]

17. End of the war? I'm going to wait

While the Wagner mutiny reminds me a lot of the 1917 Russian military collapse, I’m not going to say that the currents of history have changed until the Ukrainians retake the territories they lost last year and start marching on the ones they lost earlier.

[WinstonSmith4740]

18. If you're crazy...

Then this:

Actually, I'm hoping this is the beginning of the end of Putin...and it just may be.

[calimary]

22. The only problem with that is - who takes over?

And how bloodthirsty and/or power-hungry are they?

A potential ally or a bigger headache?

[WinstonSmith4740]

24. So true.

The head of Wagner is no bargain, and nobody in Putin's circle could possibly be any better. My personal fantasy/wish is Putin fleeing (which may be happening...from what I just read here his plane is in the air), and his political prisoners being released. I think Alexei Navalny would be welcomed on the world stage. And, of course, watching Trump's head explode would be a bonus.

[calimary]

25. Hah! Wouldn't that be great!

Epic!

[Mysterian]

23. LTG Ben Hodges said on BBC his opinion

is the Ukraine war would be over in a matter of weeks.
