Don't really understand the chaos in Russia right now. Seems one military group of Russians are marching toward the Kremlin. Putin according to reports is going to blow these 50,000 troops to smithereens as they are after him?? Can somebody explain? Reading news stories is so frustrating. They are never easy to understand the basics. This seems kind of serious. If some group is after Putin and he fears for his life, anything can happen with him and nukes IMO.

There is a private military group called the Wagner group, headed by a Russian named Prigozhin. They had been fighting on Russia's side in the Ukraine war. They had been getting increasingly frustrated with how the Russian government and military was running the war. Apparently they've snapped and now turned on Russia. I have no idea whether they have the firepower to actually overthrow Putin.

Looks like its a false alarm as the Wagner group has turned around and retreated. Wagner group realized it was a suicide mission if Putin still had the support of the military and police which he must have cause they have turned around. ... This was serious enough Putin reportedly was flown away as the Wagner group neared. Hope the CIA is not involved in any way. Our security does not seem assured these days. ... Anybody figure out if putin is in good shape to stay in power?
