Large contingent of 'no politics, not my business' in here.
A potential coup in one of the world's most populous countries, who are also in the midst of the largest war in Europe since WW2, is not just "politics". That's ridiculous.
A major portion of Russia's de facto military, led by one of the country's most prominent figures, has left Ukraine and is heading for Moscow. This is history happening right in front of us. If HN was around in 1989, would the fall of the Berlin Wall have been [flagged] too?

This is just way outside of the HN wheelhouse. The guidelines are pretty clear.

That's kind of stupid - politics affect our lives whether we like it or not. Especially these kinds of events where Russia might collapse from within.

There's a difference between not wanting to interact with this news, and not wanting to interact with this news on this forum.

I wish @dang would weigh in. Either unflag it (as I hope) on the grounds of it being a key event of high interest to curious people or confirm that this doesn't belong on HN (which would be a valid point, too).

Something not being on the front page doesn't mean you can't discuss it!)
