Russian Civil War??

RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR???
And then this evening the Russian mercenary force Wagner seems to have declared itself in mutiny against the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and the latter in return called for his arrest. Wagner says Russia MoD forces attacked their base with rockets and Ukrainian sources seem to also report much to their suprise Russian forces being shelled from behind. Currently it appears the 25,000 strong Wagner force is advancing in two massive columns to Moscow and the major city of Rostov, and in those and other places Russia has instituted a "Plan Fortress" calling all police paramilitary and reserves to immediate duty.
And it's 23:21 and I should go to bed but this is seriously crazy news. This really sounds like a civil war or coup in Russia. I think Prigozhin (leader of Wagner) is absolutely dreaming if he thinks he can take over and hold the Russian state, but maybe he saw that he was on the outs in the growing rivalry he's had with the MoD and its death out a window over there to lose at that kind of game so he had no choice but to go for broke. Really I think this sounds like absolutely great news for Ukraine and the possible implosion of the Russian state. The one big downside is absolute lunatic Russian warlords with nukes is a scary scary scary thought (but how many of them actually function, really)
