    The coup will be crushed, but it will weaken the Russian military even more and they lose their (now former) elite forces

      I know next to nothing about whats going on but crushed appears harsh. They’re marching through to Moscow unfettered.

        Having Russia and its nukes controlled by a mercenary doesn’t seem like much of a win, tbh. Not to say Putin’s better, but I see more of a lose-lose, myself.

      My money isn’t on the Russian Army being able to “crush” anything tougher than a chicken egg at this point.
