So this is a quick update on the Where's Wagner game that LC&M seem to have now quit playing. Imagine that.
There wasn't flight tracking information for any flight shown but this seems close to my thinking from following the statements of Wagner Telegram channel and finding multiple trips planned expressed there.
And today (Jul 08) Yevgeny was in St. Petersburg meeting his SM followers for laughs, greets, and to hand out merchandise while supplies last. And even thanked the local police for accommodation of an impromptu rally. (Must be cheaper than moving it all.)
That seems to be an awful lot of time spent winging around in Russia for an exiled mutineer. Not to mention the return of 1B rubles, multiple weapons, and a prized sledgehammer picked up from his St. Petersburg home and office. A CNN broadcast is reporting that the Belarusian camps have not been occupied as of yet.
And perhaps the dozen+ memes are the best case of all. As he joins in the fun and games himself and also berates the anti Wagner faction for helping (again) to raise his popularity profile.

For added enjoyment he tosses in a reporting on the rise and fall of favorability polling on Shoigu (down 5 places), Gerasimov (down 10), and an Igor Sechin (up 5).
I realize Prigozhin is over the top confident (I stated such myself 2 weeks ago!), but this level simply does not exist for newly truly exiled mutiny creating insurgents. Coupled with the Western media and agencies fading out on the story by the hour now, I would have to reiterate my position from last week. Holding and more confident than ever.
Back to Part 2.
