Did I just hear Ali Velshi say there are tanks in the streets in Moscow?

[Stinky The Clown]

I thought I heard it in his handoff to Jonathan Capehart.

1. defensive tanks of Russian army

not Wagner Group tanks

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Thanks. Still worse than no tanks in the streets of the Russian capital

Worrisome

3. From what I saw from the BBC/Telegram channel they were Armored Personnel carriers and

military trucks in Moscow.. No tanks that I could see.

5. Those look like tanks to me.

But I don't know, maybe they have other vehicles that look like tanks.

7. the question is whether tanks are Russians protecting Rostov or

Wagner tanks surrounding Rostov buildings

[Haggard Celine]

11. I sure hope they're Wagner tanks.

They need to topple Russia's government. It isn't just Putin, they have many others in the Russian government who are about as bad. I would be worried about overthrowing such a large country, but I really don't think there's any other way. It doesn't seem to me that it could get any worse than it already is.

12. Frying pan into the fire? The Wagner Group are not nice guys, either.

[Haggard Celine]

15. They're mercenaries, so I hope we can buy them off.

They're just a bunch of killers, but people justify that shit by claiming that there are different rules for war. If they take over, I hope that they leave soon after. As long as we pay them well, they should retreat after accomplishing their goal.

16. who's going to pay? I don't like that idea.

We're incredibly good at committing atrocities, so just commit one more and call it a day. Install a friendly face, like the guy in jail.

18. We probably shouldn't get involved right this minute.

Let them root out Putin and then we can help find a suitable replacement. We can still get involved through the UN when it's time. I don't want our troops fighting over there, and there are a lot of other Americans who don't want that either.

[Brother Buzz]

20. They're mercenaries, they don't stay bought

[Haggard Celine]

22. Well, that's true.

The U.S. could make things difficult for them if they don't stay bought, though. Putin bought them at one time, and now look what's happening. We could probably have them tried for war crimes if they don't cooperate with us, and there are plenty of examples to choose from.

[wnylib]

23. Tried for war crimes?

You'd have to catch them first.

6. There are confirmations of Wagner troops 200 miles outside of Moscow now taking over a city MoD

14. Ahhhhhh!

I promised myself a stress free, news free weekend starting at 5pm tonight. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Was going to just come by DU to check out the Lounge, that was it!

Saw this on the front page. Everytime I think I'm out, GD drags me back in!

Be back after I do some digging, I'll post if I find anything to add.

19. This is insane

That is the major supply hub for the war. It’s where the Russians are executing the war from. Wagner taking this cuts the head off the snake. But more than that, it’s where the supplies come through and are stored. It’s the exact thing Wagner would want to take if they wanted supplies to continue to Moscow.

21. Shit is happening!
