Happy Monday. I'm not going to do a deep dive this morning on the events over the weekend, because while most media outlets seem to want to believe that there was an attempted coup in Russia, we still don't know what happened. We don't know what will happen.

I've long believed that if Putin says something, it is probably a lie. The head of the Wagner group has not been seen since we were told he would be 'relocating' to Belarus. I tend to think that this was a way for Russia to grab the mercenaries as there own, and it seems like I am not the only one.

My theory about the March on Moscow being a relief valve mutiny that got controlled and quickly negotiated away, exposed hard core Wagner loyalists now forced them into the army with “amnesty” or death threat is holding on just fine. https://t.co/20ruBzJgFw

Where are those mercenaries is a question I would like to know. This situation is far from over and it is a little unnerving to say the least. This was not an attempt at a coup, this is something else.

Anyway, let's get this week rolling.
