The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!

Sounds like this is barely a coup. A private mercenary firm took over an unimportant city.

The Americans version of this would be if Blackwater took over Louisville or Albuquerque.
This unimportant city is a crucial command and logistical hub for the Russian army. It houses the headquarters of the Russian Southern Military District, whose 58th Combined Arms Army is engaged in operations against Kyiv's counteroffensive in southern Urkaine, according to the Insitute for the Study of War. Rostov-on-Don is also the home base for the the command center for the Russian Joint Group of Forces in Ukraine as a whole. Any threats to the military installations in the city are likely to have an impact on Russia's war efforts

I just read that Wagner forces were advancing on Moscow and that numerous parts of the city were shut down. It was estimated that the Wagner force was approximately 25,000.

Do you really need to keep telling us that you'd prefer Trump over Biden?
