They've entered the Kremlin!
There’s a DM report that he wasn’t on that plane. He left by helicopter to a location between Moscow and St Pete.

“Vladimir Putin reportedly flees Moscow as Wagner forces advance in Russia”
Wagner is now at the Gates of the Kremlin!!!!!
Right.
Reportedly the real Putin is in the bunker at his Valdai residence together with his closest associates
We will have our nuclear war, and there is nothing you can do to stop us.

is this a mutiny - or a coup? hmmm
Funny to hear these cries here. Wah wah wah… the CIA orchestrating a coup against Putin, Wah Wah Wah. Something good coming out of a 3 letter agency after all.
Putin needs a ride not ammo.
Rumor that Medvedev and his family have fled Moscow
Igor Girkin Strelkov’s sources say Wagner is 2 hours from Moscow
Does Wagner play Ride of the Valkyries when entering Moscow?
Who is in control of the Nuke?
Will Putin flee to Belarus?
Putin recently moved short-range nukes into Belarus!
Will Russia descend into Civil War?
Will China seize parts of Russia during a civil war?
Will Biden simply sh*t his pants and will his handlers praise this as a new start for Russia?
Putin is a pussy, he flees instead of standing tall. He will end up like Nicholas II. Cue “Sympathy for the Devil”
Difficult to believe Putin would send his private jet somewhere out of country while this is going on. Just adds to the uncertainty, and uncertainty is in Wagner’s favor.
A big problem for Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov is that elite units like the 4th Guards Tank Division and the 2nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division which were given the honor of the Moscow garrison to defend the capital were absolutely mauled in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
They spent months recovering in Belarus and are still in the Ukraine theatre supposedly in the Luhansk area in very poor shape.
Anyway, it is not clear these units would not side with Prigozhin given the massive losses they sustained under the incompetence of Shoigu and Gerasimov.
So Putin has to rely on air power and the Rosgvardia to defend the capital. And Wagner has their own air defense systems.
This is of those times where you don’t know who to root for to prevail. Both are ruthless and dangerous to the world.
SloJoe’s problems are mounting.... Flash the shiny object quick!!!! Whew They fell for it again.
Louis XVI’s flight from Paris
The royal flight to Varennes took place on June 20th, 1791. If any king could have coped with the French Revolution it was not Louis XVI. He was 19 when he succeeded his grandfather, Louis XV, in 1774. At 15 he had married the Austrian Habsburg princess Marie-Antoinette, who was 14.
The royal party’s escape began in darkness around midnight to an ingenious plan organised mainly by Axel Fersen, a Swedish officer in the French army who was a devoted admirer of Marie-Antoinette. The Chevalier de Coigny had for some weeks been a frequent visitor to the palace wearing a plain coat and hat, which Louis would wear when the time came so that the guards would take him for the chevalier. The royal children were all dressed as girls and the accompanying governess pretended to be a Russian aristocrat in charge of the group, while the role of governess was played by Marie-Antoinette herself, dressed in plain black. The king himself would pretend to be a valet.
Fersen had wanted the party to use light coaches to cover the 200 miles to Montmédy as speedily as possible, with the king and queen travelling separately, but Marie-Antoinette insisted they must all be together so, after they had passed through the city gate, Fersen met them with a large heavy coach, drawn by six horses. It was a crucial mistake.
Louis would not let Fersen travel all the way with them. He did not want to escape ignominiously conducted by a foreign soldier, so Fersen presently dropped out and they proceeded on, changing horses at points along the way. Even so, they were hours too late to join up with the military escorts that had been meant to guard them along the route. By the time they reached Sainte-Menehould, news of their flight had reached the town and the national guard had been alerted.
The local postmaster, Jean-Baptiste Drouet, had seen Marie Antoinette when he was in the army and he recognized her. He checked the face of the party’s ‘valet’ against the king’s on a paper currency note and they fitted. He rode quickly on to Varennes, the next stop, and was there when the royals arrived at close to midnight. Drouet insisted to the town authorities that the travelers were Louis and Marie Antoinette and, after some delay, an elderly citizen who had once lived at Versailles was brought in. As soon as he saw Louis he instinctively crooked his knee in homage and Louis admitted that he was the king.
The royal party were held until next day when orders arrived to send them back to Paris. Louis said ‘There is no longer a king in France’ and thousands of national guardsmen and armed citizens accompanied the royal carriage slowly back. It was widely believed that the Austrians had organized the royal escape and evidence was found in the Tuileries after the palace was stormed by a murderous mob in August 1792. The royals were sent to prison and the National Assembly proclaimed France a republic. Louis and Marie-Antoinette were tried for treason and both were found guilty. He went to the guillotine in January 1793 and she met the same fate in October.
