I can’t help but think that this has been engineered to create an off ramp for Putin.
He can say that he was fed duff information.
Re: Russia about to topple
so far I've seen the following this speculated:
a: Coup
b: it'll Ultimately fizzle out but leave Russia Inna weaker position
c: it's an exit strategy for Putin, blaming Ukraine failures on others
d: it's all a ruse to cover up troop movement for a counterpunch tricking the Ukrainians.
could legitimately be any of those at the moment

I agree. This could be colossal.
Re: Russia about to topple
"Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group claimed his forces had shot down a Russian military helicopter"
It's really heating up. Putin has been noticeably absent from making any kind of announcement on state media.

I was just on a wind up as you started the thread.
I agree it could be a big story.
I think more should be left on the main forum - not bounced off to the Sludge/Organ/Gluey forum.

From not appearing on the BBC News page when I woke up, it was the lead story when Alexa gave me the BBC's news bulletin about an hour ago.
Putin to make a TV address "shortly".

Putin bombing Wagner troops, that could be his un doing. Let’s hope so

If the Wagner chief took over, what would he do? He doesn’t sound too happy about Russian troops getting slaughtered every week does he….

Who knows, pull them out of Ukraine perhaps?
Prigozhin has already gone on record as saying that the Russian public have been misled about the real reason behind the invasion of Ukraine.
He said it was a “racket” perpetrated by a corrupt elite chasing money and glory without concern for Russian lives.

Be great if he pulls the troops out obviously but telling the Russian people they’ve been lied to is huge, maybe they might finally wake up!
