Wagner chose the perfect timing for an insurrection. It's Friday night and in security HQs 80% of personnel smell of booze.

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports what its sources are saying is the situation within various security organisations. At the FSB and Ministry of Internal Affairs, "Everyone is up and running, urgently reporting in. Now all the offices are like one big after-party."

"80 per cent of the staff smell of booze. Some of them can barely stand on their feet. Can't arm 'em, can't send 'em anywhere. Friday night's the perfect time to start something like this. Everybody's standing around, waiting for something. No introductions."

Now we all knew the Russian military and its personnel were incompetent but if this isn’t the most hilarious and stereotypical thing I’ve read today, I don’t know what is.

His only chance of winning is probably if some Russian forces refuse to fight him?

Wagner fighters are motivated to fight. Putin's fighters are required to fight. I think that gives Wagner Group an edge.

tl;dr:

1/ Russia's security forces are reported to be in disarray following the attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group. 4/ Unwillingness to fight Wagner appears to be a common theme. 5/ Wagner forces were able to cross the border from Ukraine without opposition, despite orders not to let them through. 6/ Most ominously for the Kremlin, elements of the security forces appear to be actively siding with Wagner or refusing to act against it. According to Wagner channels, he was in Rostov when it fell to Wagner forces.

For anyone else confused by c/tldrbot, the last sentence refers to this: "General Gerasimov himself has not been seen in public since the mutiny began. According to Wagner channels, he was in Rostov when it fell to Wagner forces."
