this one stays up. what an insane 24 to 48 hours, and what an incredible PR win for some of the worst mercenaries alive. it sure looks like they've seriously exposed weakness in the Russian government here, and i doubt this'll be the last we see of them in trying to make powerplays for dominance in Russian politics.
