What an insane 24 hours. Man just completely fucked Putin and the government and shoots to Belarus.

Maybe didn’t get the support he needed?

Even without support it's incredible how close to Moscow he was able to get.

Yeah, his bff general Surovikin told him to fuck off. If Surovikin supported him, he had a legit chance at getting a lot of support from parts of the military. But once Surovikin was out, he had no chance.

Being in Belarus is convenient for when he wants to give it a second go.

Putin will be working hard on making this impossible for him.
