Prigozhin starts armed insurrection in Russia

Interesting. So, discussion on the outbreak of war was allowed as an exception, but the coup that maybe ends the war is verboten? I'd love to read the mod chat from that discussion ;) assuming you aren't acting unilaterally?

Oh, it's sensational, is it? Well, yes, I suppose a coup that ends a bloody war (that is contributing, if only ideologically, to the crippling economic policies all over The West) would be rather sensational, wouldn't it?

Edit: Related question, why can I vouch for some flagged comments, but not for others? Edit: Think I figured that out. Vouch is only for dead, not just flagged?

There hasn't been a coup and the war hasn't ended. You guys are way ahead of yourselves. If something of historical significance happens, there will be plenty of time to discuss it.

The team here is small so a lot of the decisions are indeed unilateral. We don't all keep the same hours.

> Vouch is only for dead

Correct!

We trust and appreciate your judgement, of course.

That said - at this stage, the events definitely do appear to be quite significant.

Per the British MoD: "This represents the most significant challenge to the Russian state in recent times."

Yes, we appreciate the mod team's efforts throughout. Nevertheless, this event is turning into something historic, even if it ends up in failure for the instigators.
