After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won’t pick
themselves up, after all.
Someone has to shove
the rubble to the roadsides
so the carts loaded with corpses
can get by.
-Wisława Szymborska, “The End and the Beginning” (t. Cavanagh & Barańczak)

[Commentary] The intensifying geopolitical tensions between China and the West have put ASEAN countries, which cannot decouple from either side, in an unenviable position. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2023/06/23/commentary/world-commentary/asean-us-china-ties/?utm_content=bufferce92b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #opinion #commentary #china #us #defense #globaleconomy #asean
So uh Wagner Group throwing down vs the Russian defense ministry! I knew there was bad blood, but not this level of bad.
My weak bet: if Wagner actually does hold Rostov, they're just going to sit pat and try to extort concessions out of Putin / the defense ministry, maybe try to swap out Shoigu & Gerasimov -- because Putin can't afford to divert troops and focus away from Ukraine when there's a counteroffensive going on.
(But what do I know? I def didn't predict this going on.)

The Chinese government has never asserted a claim to the Ryukyu Islands. But for years a collection of scholars, analysts and military officials have questioned Japanese rule there https://www.economist.com/china/2023/06/22/china-has-its-eyes-on-okinawa
Season Four of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is getting wild
Counter offensive by the Wagnerite mercenaries vs Russian forces inside Russia
Slava #Ukraine
According to Yevgeniy Prigozhin's Telegram channel, a Russian military helicopter fired on a Wagner convoy shortly before the Wagner forces shot it down with surface-to-air missiles.
If anything, this incident indicates that the situation in Russia is continuing to escalate, and makes it even more clear that the Russian government takes the Wagner Group's actions near Rostov-on-Don very seriously.

COUP: Freedom Caucus looking to oust Marjorie Taylor Greene https://occupydemocrats.com/2023/06/23/coup-freedom-caucus-looking-to-oust-marjorie-taylor-greene/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Is this a real Civil Special Military Operation™️ or Prigozhin knowing he’s doomed and trying to go out fighting rather than slowly tortured to death? https://meduza.io/en/live/2023/06/23/yevgeny-prigozhin-s-coup
Definitely looking more like a civil war than a coup #Russia
