Classic Davos story @unDavosSummit
I flew to Davos to pitch my startup. Instead, I spent the 13 hours in a Swiss jail cell because my prototype looked like an IED. To me, it’s an MVP. To the WEF Police, it was a "Category A Threat." Here is the story of the most aggressive product validation in history. 🧵

Er, so Putin caved to a putschist with an army and agreed to make the MoD more amenable to him, after the putschist showed how well he can challenge the regime. And the guy gets to live? Things are wild, weird and unpredictable in Russia but this doesn’t quite convince.

Martial Law is underway in Moscow as parks, museums, and shopping malls are closed until further notice. ● As per Putin decree. He had had hoped to avoid such a drastic measure during his "special military operation"

Russian telegram reports Wagner entered Moscow oblast, 2hrs from the capital. Mayor declares state of emergency, Monday no work. Prigozhin’s Moscow blitz could prove more successful than the run on Kyiv. Wagner progressing like Taliban, RU army useless like Afghan govt forces

#Belarus The regime's security council made a rather abstract statement that it's crucial to support Russia and the "special operation" and avoid provocations. I am curious to know what's happening inside the regime now. But it's clear they are also watching the events in Russia.

Exactly 16 months ago, residents of Kiev were fortifying their city to prevent a Russian invasion. Today, residents of Moscow are fortifying their city to also prevent a Russian invasion. I remain a master strategist.

I’m seeing some maps currently showing Wagner forces seizing more Russian territory in one day than Russian forces occupy after 16 months of war in Ukraine. Moscow falls in three days? (map courtesy of @Tendar)

Wagner operations are continuing in Russia. The rebels are confirmedly in Rostov and Voronezh, and they have been located in other areas as well. This is most likely a well pre-planned operation, not a spontaneous or improvised one. 1/
