Most #US citizens don't realize that we have multiple armies (#Army, #Marines), air forces (#AirForce, #Navy), #SpecialForces (#Rangers, #GreenBeret, #EOD, #Seals, etc.), navies (Navy, #CoastGuard), and two militaries (#CIA; all the above, plus more).

More relevant considering the situation in #Russia.

It's wasteful in its redundancy but maybe makes it more difficult to mount an overt #military #coup.

But they've kinda done it quietly.

It's this kind of stuff I (over)think about all the time.

Restructure and streamline the #military and #intelligence for 21st century, not the 19th or 20th?

No #President, politician, or public official would live long pursuing that agenda.

So yes, absolutely, it is a type of #coup.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 24, 2023

"The Kremlin struggled to cohere an effective rapid response to Wagner’s advances, highlighting internal security weaknesses likely due to surprise and the impact of heavy losses in Ukraine.

Wagner’s actions demonstrated Russia’s lack of reserves in rear areas."

The apparent uprising via Wagner in Russia is fascinating and incredibly dangerous for NATO, the US, and the world at large.

Putin's core mistake, beyond invading Ukraine, was enabling and allowing a mercenary and known criminal organization in Wagner to have any involvement in the war that wasn't under direct command and control of the Russian military.

I doubt that the Wagner chief, Prigozhin, will ultimately topple the Russian military or Putin. I have to assume at this point that the Russian military and the Russian elite are viewing life under Prigozhin as a bleak prospect.

That said, and along the same assumption, it could very well be that Putin's days are numbered. The question is, what takes Putin's place? We know it will start with chaos.

Situations like this historically have cascading events and ramifications. I have to presume that NATO and the US are at some level of alert.

We are living in a major historical and very dangerous moment.

This can’t be good… Russian generals accused the Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin of attempting a coup, as a feud between between him and the military escalated. Mr. Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary force has proved pivotal to the Russian war effort in Ukraine, but in recent months, he repeatedly chastised Russia’s top brass for alleged corruption and indifference to regular soldiers’ lives. On Friday night, he called for retaliation against the Russian Defense Ministry after he accused the military of attacking his forces. They responded by ordering his arrest. Makes one wonder who’s in charge? Get out the popcorn, this could be interesting.
