June 24, 20232 yr Everybody who has bought into the demonization of Putin and cheering on the Wagner forces should be careful for what they hope for. If there's a coup in Russia, it's very possible that Putin will wind up looking like a liberal democrat when all is said and done.
June 24, 20232 yr Reports now say the the Wagner Group has turned around after some sort of agreement with that dope leader from Belarus Lukasjenko. Could be bad info or propaganda aimed to confuse or mislead.

Yeah not sure what the long game is for him now. Gotta imagine he's gonna have a target on his back for the rest of his life for a stunt like this. Putin doesn't exactly forgive and forget.

June 24, 20232 yr Still going to be an interesting few days ahead. Only way I see Prigo getting out of this is if this was some big plan to scapegoat the MoD and say Putin was mislead on the attack of Ukraine.
June 24, 20232 yr It will be interesting to see what happens now to Prigozhin. No way he is alive a month from now.

June 24, 20232 yr Never good to get chaos in a nuclear despot run state. At some point we will likely have to navigate a very tricky period. Looks like this one will pass but the situation is tense at the moment. Putin is now forced to make a big statement. Guess he strings up a chunk of Wagner leadership.

Couldn’t disagree more with your last sentence. Likely Shoigu and others in MoD are the scapegoats here. Could be way for Putin to end hostilities and hold on to power.
