#1 Wagner Forces Enter Rostov, Russia — Surround the Ministry of Defence Building

My apologies, Fred. In my enthusiasm to consolidate our multitude of articles on the subject — my heartfelt thanks to all who submitted, which meant I did not have to do any real work on this clearly important story — the Bloid’s link to that particular article no longer exists. We have instead roundups here, here...

#2 ... and here*, with even more links in the comments following each. It is clearly going to be a busy day, very likely with names and nyms checking in that we’ve not seen for a while as well as new visitors following links to see if we have anything useful to offer on the subject or are persuadable to their particular point of view. ;-)

A hearty welcome to all those new to our pages, and a heartier welcome back to those long missed!

* Thus do even moderators show respect to the two-link limit per comment, instituted ages ago to reduce the annoyance of spam by blocking the publishing of any comment having more.

#4 My thanks, Fred, as always you are the rock on which we all depend.

I’ve added links to each of the three roundups referring to the other two, so wherever readers stop first they’ll be made aware of the other possibilities.

Whew! With that I’m for my pillow, to finish up the rest in the morning.

#5 With the rollup changes, might want to refresh the PDS .

#6 The headline at the top of Rantburg has been changed to reflect a more recent post on the rapidly moving Wagner story. For the rest, just go to Page 5: Russia - Former Soviet Union to get all of today’s post and round-ups, not to mention all the very active discussions and links in the comments.

Truly Rantburg is a team project — thank you all for being part of the team!

#8 /\ Same here, and for many years. I have personally observed intel analysts running the Burg on a NIPR monitor while monitoring traffic on SIPR and the 'High Side'with FOX news running on a wall mounted monitor. If you're serious about your 'All Source' business, you monitor all the traffic.

#10 Does this mean Putin won't be able to decide the US election in 2024?

#11 At the Silver Bullet perhaps, but what about the folks at the old "Bureau of Public Roads," "Federal Highway Administration" exit off the GW Parkway?
I know they get the OSINT summaries, but its highlights unless you have a search topic if I recall correctly?

#12 /\ That is correct. Reading the 'black book' or OSINT is not enough. Events must be synthesized into accurate predictive analysis. The 'so what' of the process.
